was at a concert with my girlfriend tonight - she ate a pretzel and had some water. she questioned whether the water was tap or spring cause it tasted funny. at one point she told me to taste it and without thinking i picked it up and put the bottle to my mouth. at that second i knew i shouldnt have had her water so i fake sipped then wiped my mouth and a few seconds later spit out the saliva in my mouth a few times. not sure if i got cc'd but that was so dumb. whats my problem? why couldnt i just say no thanks im fine? granted i probly get more cc in restaurants then what was on her water bottle but still- i shouldnt be doing these things

Give it time, you'll learn. The body and mind have to be completely retrained. And sometimes...sometimes we all have the dumbs.

I got a Naked Green Machine a few weeks ago and sucked half of it down before realizing there was Wheat and Barley Grass in it. :( I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I remembered that the grasses are safe after about a minute but then was worried about CC. Luckily I dodged that bullet...but I didn't finish the bottle so as not to tempt fate further. B)

I read everything on the label but those two ingredients and Natural Flavors...and I have absolutely no excuse as to why.

Sub-conscious sabotage maybe?

:think: This could get Freudian...

You're overreacting. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's called enjoying time with your girlfriend. There wasn't enough pretzel on that bottle to make you that sick I'm sure and even if there was, you caught yourself and didn't drink it.

Yeah ... I share water bottles occasionally with my gluten-eating fiance. Never had a problem from that yet. I also kiss him, which is probably a much higher risk of CC.

I got CC'ed once from letting my Dad take a drink of my poweraide after he'd been eating a hamburger, then I drank after him..... It was awful. I was horribly sick. So I can understand your concern... :P

Jason, Don't be hard on yourself. I've been CC'd at 3 concerts over the past two months because of people drinking and spilling beer around me. Just take it one day at a time and next time get your own water bottle. I hope things are continuing to go well with your girlfriend.

One time last summer we were at some outdoor gathering and I came up to my spouse to give him a kiss and he turned his head at the last second and kissed me on the cheek. I gave him a really odd look and he said - but "you didn't know that I just ate a regular sandwich when you weren't looking."

It's not consistent. I mark my water bottles with a sharpie pen all the time, and woe unto him that touches it other than myself. This is because he does not clean them out of my car consistently once they've been sipped out of.

I have done this, too without thinking. I usually take the first drink if we are sharing. We just need more practice.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
