If you think that Celiac is bad, and the GI symptoms, not to mention my pet affliction DH, just wait till the radio-active hot particles we're ingesting start to work. Eh ???

It's really scary isn't it? There's not really anything we can do about either can we? :o

Washing food won't fix it..and there's no way we can go without breathing!

No but the risk in the US is pretty minimal. You are more likely to get in your car and die in an accident tomorrow than to die of cancer from a Fukushima hot particle.

That said, I would not want to be anywhere in Japan right now. The Japanese government is failing miserably to safeguard Japanese citizens from exposure to radioactivity, especially in food.

I wonder more about the fish and possible contamination. I wonder if any testing is being done on Alaskan fisheries. The currents can carry things along ways.

If the EPA is testing, they're keeping close-mouthed. I would not be surprised to see contamination in Pacific fish either. It's not only currents but some species like Pacific Tuna migrate to and from the Japanese coast.

Apparently they are testing imported seafood in Korea, and the levels are increasing. This article mentions Alaska Pollock, but I don't know if that's the type of fish, or if that was part of the imported seafood tested (i.e. that it's from Alaska...): Open Original Shared Link

      Pepsid alternative

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Stephanie Wakeman · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      Recently qualified Nutritionist looking for support

      By Diana Swales · Posted

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
