Easter we had a crowd over for dinner. A couple brought a homemade cheese cake. Politely, I said "Boy that sure looks good, is that a graham cracker crust?". He said, "Yeah, but you can just eat the top"....No, no it doesn't work that way and promptly asked my husband to clean the spring-form pan right in front of them. And they just stared at me.

It truely is endless.

here is my fav. gluten story....

I was at my friends house and there were about 5 of us, so my friend heated up some chicken nuggets (which of course i cant eat), so i tell her that i'll just have an apple or something cause there's wheat in the chicken nuggets. She looks at me completely seriously and says, "no there isnt." So we look at the ingredients and yes there is wheat in it. So my friend says, "Oh well you can just peel off the breaded coating, right?" It took me awhile to explain to her why i couldnt eat the chicken nuggets even if i did peel off the coating.

Last semester in my Spanish class, we somehow got on the subject of food. I told them I couldn't have gluten/wheat. One of the girls in the class said, "Well, I know to never get you a sandwich or anything like that now." Then the dude beside me said, "What are you talking about?! There's only wheat in wheat bread! She can have regular bread!". I nearly laughed in his face. "What do you think in regular bread?" I asked him. "Flour." he told me, and also said to the class that there was no wheat in flour either.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
