Me and my husband are getting overwhelmed at just how many job prospects we cannot bother with now because of gluten...are we really stuck with desk jobs if we can find anything? He was even considering learning a trade like carpentry or plumbing...mechanic...it seems almost everything has a gluten worry involved. Food is obviously out. It is already hard enough to find work but there always seems like there are huge worries with this stuff.

I am not sure what jobs would be "off limits" for you, except those involving food. (baked goods, chef, catering) You could handle food with gloves on for that matter, but I would not suggest inhaling wheat flour (or taste-testing!) :D .

You are not specific, so I am not sure what jobs you guys are looking for and maybe if you tel us which ones you are eliminating, people can pipe in and give you some ideas.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
