Day 2 Gluten Free - Overwhelmed At The Grocery Store

The times I've had emotional reactions at a grocery store have been when I'm shopping with someone who is not gluten-free!

They can go and grab pretty much whatever they want while I'm reading labels and passing by a lot of aisles. On my own or with my mother who is also gluten-free, passing by so many of the aisles feels like a relief! And there aren't any gluteny items going in the cart as a distraction, or even TALK of those items!

Also, if this helps, my mom and I always laugh because we go to the HEALTH food store to buy our JUNK food!

We buy our meats, veggies, fruits, nuts and beans at the chains Stop & Shop and Big Y, but we go to the local health food stores for the more expensive, specialty treats like gluten-free cookies (Nana's! EnjoyLife!), Lara Bars, FruitaBu...

That's our system! Hope it helps

Junk food from the health food store... :lol::lol::lol::rolleyes::blink:

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
