sometimes winning is all that matters....resentment is all ready in full swing at the office, this won't change things..

This is only true if you don't care about keeping your job. As I learned the hard way when I was laid off last year. I had something I had to make a stink about (a biased, negative review from a boss who had a personal distaste for me and clearly used different standards to evaluate me as opposed to other people in very similar positions), and though it was not the direct cause of my layoff, it's a lot easier to let go of a "trouble maker" when you've got to let go of a bunch of people. And even though this seems like something that's a big deal to you, for a lot of other people it's a tiny thing, and making a stink over it marks you as not just a trouble maker, but a petty trouble maker in their eyes. (No, I'm not saying you would be one at all; I'm just saying that perception - right or wrong - is extraordinarily important.)

I'm glad you've decided to let it go. I see so many angles to this, and believe me -- I used to be a state worker, I understand your frustration! It seems some are catered to and others aren't. But winning ISN'T everything. And in this fight, you'd only make it worse for yourself, and quite honestly, other celiacs. I thank every restaurant I'm in that offers me a gluten free option. I write letters to commend to them in my community and online. I give them as much free press as I can and patronize them as often as I can, because this is a darn hard illness to work with, and we can't expect everyone to cater to it until there is more awareness and more reason to. We'll get there. But just as every other discriminated against group has learned...it takes time. If you try to force it, you just end up with resentment. Make yourself something super yummy those days, and why don't you bring a gluten free dessert to share with your coworkers? Maybe not everyone, but your closest friends there. It's amazing how yummy this stuff can be, and they'll see why your lifestyle isn't such a sacrifice. Good luck!

This is true in most aspects of life. Just part of the world.

      Thiamine supplementation

      You may want to look into Benfotiamine, which is the fat soluble version of B1.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      Be sure all testing is completed before going gluten-free, that is, unless you are certain that gluten is the culprit and have decided not to eat it again. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      As a side note, it seems that medical science has evolved in the past 5-6 years regarding Celiac Disease, and I am now catching up. It seems that anything that disrupts the microbiome sufficiently enough can--in genetically susceptible individuals--lead to Celiac Disease. I have been reading now that antibiotics, excessive simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars and starches, the manner of birth such as C-section vs vaginal delivery, the diversity of one's diet, the presence of certain bacteria or viruses, can all contribute to microbiome dysbiosis, which can lead to Celiac. This is fascinating research.

      10 years later, my celiac is progressing

      By GardeningForHealth · Posted

      I mostly eat healthy. My diet has varied over the past 10 years but mostly consisted of meals I cooked at home made from scratch. Ingredients I used over the years include (not in order): non-wheat grains such as teff, sorghum, millet, and eggs, butter, cheese, some milk, meat (poultry, red meat, but very little processed meat), gluten-free baked bread (mostly Canyon Bakehouse brand), vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, peanuts, chocolate (not in the past 6 months). However, the mistakes I made in my diet are that I consumed too much sugar and carbohydrates from gluten-free baked goods that I baked myself at home such as gluten-free dessert items, and also I ate pretty much the same exact meals over and over, so a great lack of diversity in what I ate. I got lazy. I think this messed up my microbiome. The meals I ate were mostly healthy though. I always made sure to eat vegetables and fruits on a daily basis.  I have checked for nutrient deficiencies over the years and I am sometimes low in Vitamin D. I started supplementing it after that. What concerns me is the progressive nature of the food intolerances, which indicates the gut is not healing and has been leaking all along.
