As a super sensitive newbie I am trying to avoid all products made on shared lines, but non-celiac hubby is now going gluten free to make life/kitchen safer and easier for me so I am wondering whether it is OK for him to have such products or whether that will mess up my new gluten free kitchen. Think I am currently at the paranoid stage but am having trouble eliminating the last traces of gluten from my life.

I am only thinking of items such as canned beans in water, canned fruit in fruit juice, and Natures Path gluten free cereals. All our other food is fresh.

Will welcome any advice/opinions/experience, thanks in advance.

It's really up to you but if you're still not feeling well, me personally, I won't add those items to your new gluten free kitchen. This is just my opinion. I'm extra careful & it took me five months to get better. I also have a gluten free kitchen. At first I didn't allow cross cont. items in my house until I felt good. Now I will allow some items that are gluten free, but could be cross cont. at the - like Tostitos chips & Salsa for the hubby. But I watch him closely.... B) I might be a little paranoid too, but you can never be too careful. I still don't eat these items because to me it's just not worth it. I have realized too fast that when I don't get accidentally glutened I feel awesome and it so nice to feel healthy & full of energy!

Also, I do eat the Nature Path Maple Sunrise cereal. I haven't noticed any reactions to it & I eat it maybe twice a week. Do you think you are reacting to it? Just thought I would ask...Thanks!

I hope this helps! :)

I am super sensitive. I eat very few processed foods, and no processed grains. I do let the non celiacs in the house have them though. A slight contamination from a slight contamination seems to be too tiny to bother me or my son, the two super sensitive celiacs in the family. We do make the non celiacs wash hands and brush teeth (for kissing) when they come home.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
