Do you feel like wearing medical alert jewelry is necessary for a Celiac? What about for children who may be fed at school/church/playdates, etc?

*MOST* people don't think anything of feeding a child. Unfortunately a bracelet is unlikely to help stop that. Teaching the child rules about taking food from people is the most important thing. The purpose of the medic alert bracelets is more for emergency personal.

My child does wear one for life threatening food allergies. Celiac isn't even listed on the bracelet but it is in his file that is connected with his ID.

      Struggling with gluten challenge and not sure it’s worth it - looking for advice / experiences / encouragement

      @iceman2026x, are you certain that CC from spices has been causing celiac reactions in you or is this part of a "shotgun" approach?

      @iceman2026x, how long ago were you diagnosed?

      Different people might have different answers, but for me I don't worry too much about cooking oils and salt. I read the labels to check that there isn't some kind of warning but that's about all. I'm not overly worried about pepper either. I eat a lot of black pepper. I buy Costco Kirkland whole pepper and grind it as I use it. A pre-ground pepper would give me more concern about cross-contamination. I buy most of my seasonings from Penzeys. Almost all of their offerings are gluten free and they are pretty good about labeling the few items that have some gluten. There are other choice out there but that's what I do. In this post and your prior post you seem to be very worried about some of the easiest things for a gluten free diet (except for seasonings, which can be tricky). Living with a gluten free diet is a marathon. All of us make some mistakes along the way but then we adjust and keep going. It should get easier for you as you get experience with it.

      MORE brain fog since dx - 1.5 years in. Vitamin deficiencies?

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      Would love to get some input on this. Still trying to figure out what is causing my general fogginess. Thyroid labs all looked perfect, latest labs are borderline normal (I think). Please help!
