Hi all

This is my first post. I have been long time lurker and just joined. I feel like I know many of you.

The last two parties at my office have been great. They noticed that I would come and not eat anything. So now they have fresh fruit along with the sweet and dairy . I feel included again.

Just wanted to let all of you know.

Sensitive to 21 foods including wheat, gluten, dairy, and tomato.

Susan,

Welcome to the boards--glad you have come out of the shadows and are here posting! This is a great place to get support for gluten and other dietary sensitivities--it seems like many of us have more than one!

It's great that not only did your co-workers notice, but they acted upon what they saw! You are in a rare spot to have people be so thoughtful. You are very lucky. :)

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      If you have been on a gluten-free diet for four years, all of the testing with the exception of the HLA one, was a waste of time. Not sure why your physician would have even considered it. But that doesn't explain your ongoing celiac-like symptoms. It's beginning to look like they are being caused by some other medical issues unrelated to a gluten disorder...

      Confused about HLA-DQ Celiac gene test result

      Thanks for the insight! It has been a whirlwind...very overwhelming and frustrating at times. But what you are saying makes sense to me. I have been on a Gluten Free diet for 4 years now Its been suggested to me to get a second opinion

      Sorry for rambling on so much. It was not clear to me from you first post that, although you have known for several years that gluten had been causing you distress, that you had already eliminated it from your diet.

Labeling can change at any time due to supplier shifts or shared equipment, so it’s always important to double-check packaging—even on products we’ve trusted for years. A “may contain wheat” statement usually indicates potential cross-contact risk rather than an added ingredient, but for people with celiac disease that risk can still be significant. If you’ve been having symptoms, it may take days to weeks to fully settle, depending on the level and duration of exposure. In the meantime, switching to fresh produce or brands that clearly state gluten-free status is a reasonable step. It may also help to contact the manufacturer directly to ask when the labeling changed and what their current cross-contact controls are.
