Hi, My name is Luda.

I discovered I was a Celiac Around this time last year, I was 23. I'd been suffering alone until I stumbled on this site!

I was near having a panic attack this morning because the bar BQ sauce i was dipping my chicken in had soy sauce (soy sauce! with wheat!) and I didn't chance on the ingredient list until i was about to throw out the container. Who puts soy sauce in Bar BQ sauce? (watch that be a standard ingredient and I just had no idea)

I've been struggling with hidden gluten for the past entire year. In spite of all the direct food I've avoided I may as well have just done nothing!

I'm so frustrated :(

Anyway, it's wonderful to be able to speak with people who can relate. It's nice to meet you!

Yea. This is a great place. It's kinda like finding your home planet isn't it? :D

Having this message board to search through makes it easy to find out if a product has been verified gluten free. I was lucky enough to find this board before I had my testing done. I don't know how people do this on their own.

I'm glad you found us. Welcome to the board.

Yes, wheat is hidden in so many things. BBQ sauce is one of the many things it is hidden in, soy sauce is a bad one too. There are BBQ sauces without wheat though and I am sure someone will come along and tell you which too try. I can't have tomatoes or I would suggest some for you.

Welcome to the board.

Luda, did you ever try LaChoy? It has no wheat. I also know that there is a wheat free brand sold online in the Gluten Free mall and Miss Robens.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
