Today Is My 1 Year Anniversary :)

I have been on the gluten free diet for one whole year today.......wow! It seems like just yesterday I was eating bread that doesn't coast 5 bucks a loaf. I have to say that in three or four extreme moments of weakness I may have taken a bit of my daughters food without her looking. It's hard being the only celiac in the house, especially when I do ALL of the cooking for the gluten eaters. Every once in a while I will make them a meal that is completely gluten free and not tell them. Then I laugh to myself when they console me for not being able to eat "real" food.

I am a little upset that none of my family members had anything to say about my anniversary. I had hoped than when I got home today there would have been a big gluten free cake from some special bakery with "congatulations on your first year of gluten freeness" on it.............but, there was nothing. At this point I would be happy with....."Hey Kim, I can't belive you have been on the diet for a year now." I guess nobody in my house looks a the calander.......which I had circled today with a big red marker, and wrote "KIM GLUTEN FREE ONE YEAR TODAY!!!!!!!!!"

oh well.........

You're my hero...heroine..both! One year is a huge milestone. Think of your mindset a year ago and how you handle it all now. Changing your whole life while caring for a family is no easy task but you did it and did it well. Someday when someone you know will face a big challenge, they're going to look to you and say, if she can do it, maybe I can too.

Congrats!!! I'm only 3 months gluten free, but feel so much better I wouldn't trade it. My family probably wouldn't notice it, either. But - who cares! I'm happy. And getting healthy. Anyway, good job. Can't wait till I get there.

CONGRATULATIONS!

This is worth celebrating!!!

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
