I Got Glutened Somehow...work Or Home?

I feel like crap tonight, glutened feeling...side cramps, terrible bloat, foggy. At work I have lunchroom duty, so I'm in a big gluten room for 30 minutes. I punch in lunch numbers for my kindergarteners, and try not to touch trays. I wasn't eating in there until we came back from Christmas break. I had the worse week of pain coming back to work. I can feel good /no pain and after lunch my sides are cramping! We had snow days and I'm low pain everyday even working a teachers workday at school. If i don't go in there when they are cooking, I'm good. Go back to the lunchroom today and I'm in so much pain and bloat tonight. It started 30 minutes to an hour after being in there...mild headache. So, am I CC at home with my food or I'm touching something I shouldn't at work. I wash my hands in there, but could there be gluten hanging out there? I'm a Celiac with a wheat and barely allergy. I'm not going to eat in there tomorrow to see if there is a difference. It one of my duties and I have no choice but to be in there. Any ideas of what I can do? My teacher I work with thinks I'm nuts to think the lunchroom makes me feel bad. I'm really careful when I cook my food at home, ut I know things can happen.

I work in a school environment also. Try wiping the table down before you sit to eat. I have been glutened by this before. So, now I carry a wet paper towel and wipe the table down and then wash my hands before I sit to eat. Could be leftover crumbs from food they served to previous visitors or from breakfast.

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.
