Where in Nebraska do you live? I lived and worked in Lincoln for many, many years and have retired back to my home state Missouri. I have been gluten free since January of this year, still struggling but getting there. I am trying to learn how to use the message boards and respond. Will see if this works. I need more help learning how to use this than anything else. I HAVE learned from just reading the postings. My name is Bunnie as in Rabbit!

Welcome to the boards!

I've been diagnosed silent celiac just over 3 years. That means I have benefitted from the gluten-free diet, but am not bothered by "falling off" occasionally. Just an honor system. I was anemic and losing/not gaining weight regardless of what or how much I ate. The doctor in Lincoln diagnosing me said I could decide whether to go gluten-free or not. I called the Mayo Clinic and talked to one of their gastroenterologists for a second opinion. He said by all means I needed to be on the gluten-free diet as I would not be absorbing crucial vitamins I needed. He suggested I have a bone density scan done for osteoporosis. That proved valuable as I have been on Actonel and 1800 mg of supplemental calcium daily for 2 years. I tell people that I have gained 25 pounds since going on my "diet"! I live in Grand Island and know of a local support group in Kearney that meets 1-2 times a year. ;)

Let me know when the support group next meets, if I can afford the gas prices at the time maybe I will just pop in!

Hi! I live outside of Lincoln a little ways. I'm in Lincoln all the time though. Where are you from?

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health. Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption. Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms. Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming...

I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
