Ok so Im a current student at University Alaska Fairbanks and this is for all celiacs and gluten-wheat free people who are current and future students of UAF. Since I have been living with the normal people and noticed that I have been getting sick due to the fact someone has been using my mayo and smearing it all over wonder bread and violating my mayo. I would like to get a group of like gutted people who are celiac and form team wheat-gluten free house. This would be epic since no one would wheat the counter and cooking things violate the mayo and jam with the evil wheat and its comrades. So anyone want to join this epic adventure in Fairbanks?

I don't live in Alaska but I'm a Celiac college student. My first thought is... is there any way you could contact the school's administration and tell them about your condition? If you could get some literature together about Celiac and get something in writing from a Celiac doctor, the school might take your condition seriously. If you live on campus in the dorms, and you can explain to them that living with your roommates is a danger to your health, I think the school should be forced to provide you with a safe alternative place to live!

What I personally would do in your situation is to get a safe and put all my non-perishable food in it! :D Especially for the short-term. Nothing makes me more upset than people who know I can't have gluten and aren't careful about contamination. I would deny those people access to my food immediately. For now, you might have to give up things that other people could get into when you're not around, like Mayo, jams, relish, etc. I have my own room with a lock on the door. Inside is a mini refrigerator, microwave and mini oven. I have a big Tupperware with all my snacks in it. If you have your own room, you might want to do something similar. There is no chance of getting glutened when everything is separate. Also I would recommend plastic silverware and paper plates... to cut down on the amount of dishes you are sharing with the glutenous roommates. I try to stay out of glutenous kitchens as much as possible. There is all kinds of different "mini" kitchen hardware you can buy to create a virtual kitchen in another room. I take advantage of private spaces like lockers and backpacks to keep snacks in.

im experienced and im no noob to room mates. I just put the idea out to see if anyone in Fairbanks would since its cost so much for the food here, bulk orders are easier with other people. I just don't want a mini-kitchen I lived in a cabin with one and they suck. The school doesn't have to provide accommodations, the kitchen is ok and they will provide food but I don't live on campus or want to. Since there are other people like me in Fairbanks and that attend the school this would be a great to room together or have some sort of connection to hang out. The school wouldn't release that information since it is personal, it wouldn't be covered under the freedom of information act since it is after all very personal. I just got bored and wanted to give it a shoot and see what comes back.

Unfortunately, I'm in Anchorage and not in the UA college system (I elected to go Outside for college) or I'd take you up on that. I'm not looking forward to sharing a kitchen next year with people who don't clean up after themselves and who will attempt to use my food. Again.

Yeah its hard i take whole foods to my room and store it in a plastic box from freds. We had separate cabinets to store our food in and it worked out. You could get a cattle prong and zap them if they get into your food.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      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...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      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_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

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.

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
