Welcome:

Wow, you were diagnosed in 2003 and is it safe to understand that you have not been on the diet?

Well, here's a start -- begin with meats, seafood, rice, potatoes, fresh veggies and fruit in as natural form as possible. Stick with just salt and pepper until you know what seasonings are safe.

Limit your dairy for a while or eliminate to until you have healed.

Make sure that your lotions, shampoos, lip balms and meds are gluten free. Stay away from gluteny toasters or get your own. Be careful with scratched up cooking ware, old wooden spoons and chopping blocks - gluten can hide anywhere.

Reading here can be the best help available. Good luck

      Worried about being isolated

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      Worried about being isolated

      By trents · Posted

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

      Worried about being isolated

      I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
