Love2Travel and I PM'd and we are good! I think I overreacted somewhat to words that I shouldn't have let bother me but Love2Travel was very adult and generous in her attitude about it so all is forgotten and we move on. This forum needs her travel expertise for those of us who are a bit timid to venture as far as she has, not to mention her cooking skills. With regards to Celiac Disease, self taught is a good thing! I am sorry to have gone off like that but the air is cleared for the better! :D

Where on earth is a blushing smiley? Gemini and I certainly are good; in fact, great! As you know, I get very carried away with things I believe in and am excited about. I just got too excited and need to tone it down. Frankly it is a positive thing that this was brought up as it leads to greater understanding about others and myself. As I told Gemini I would rather someone point out areas where I can improve than to just ignore it and hope the problem will take care of itself. So, this has been a positive learning experience.

And Gemini, your major contributions here are very appreciated! If it were not for this site I would be in a sorry state indeed. Our goals are the same - support, encouragement, and to help one another in the best ways we can. :)

The OP has me now thinking...my knives are ancient (20+ years old), have wooden handles and reside in a wooden block. The knives aren't great quality but work fine for me. Now I'm wondering if I should replace them. There's minor sentimental value since they were a gift from my father (who has since passed away) but he'd be the first to tell me to chuck them out if it would improve my health. I've scrubbed them and cleaned where the blade meets the wood but I'm just wondering if all that time exposed to a gluten-y kitchen and ingredients could have gotten gluten embedded in those wooden handles so when I touch them I could *possibly* have it on my hands as I handle ingredients. Gesh, just when I thought I had a handle on my kitchen! Any ideas/opinions? Am I being a paranoid newbie again? Of course, a new set of nice knives would be cool...!

You sound like me!!!

I was thinking a visit to IKEA (magnetic strip) and my favorite cutlery online store might be justified!

Aaaahh, joy joy.

I do admit I started switching to knives where the handle and blade are forged of one piece of metal...BECAUSE I had a handle break during use and cut my hand badly. And they are much easier to clean, btw.

Honestly, I haven't had issues so far. But do admit after 16 years that block may be a bit unsanitary inside.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      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...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      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/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      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 react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
