I don't get it. Just because you are gluten free, does not prevent you from cooking for other people... it doesn't prevent you from drinking beer, if that is your "thing..." it just means that you are selecting and cooking with different ingredients, using different recipes, perhaps using different kitchen utensils, or bringing your own booze to a tailgate. Not all gluten free bread is dry and hard... good grief. Socializing is not just eating with "the herd."

I find it just takes a little thought and a bit more work, when I go to someone's house, I take my own food. I can still socialize and most people don't even notice. when people come to my house, they get gluten-free food, again, most don't even notice.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Eye irritation can be so frustrating, especially when you're already adjusting to life with celiac disease. It’s great that you’ve seen an eye doctor and taken steps like using a heat mask and drops, which seem to have helped with the dryness. Sometimes, lingering irritation can be linked to inflammation as your body heals, or even to other factors like allergies or environmental irritants (like dust or mold that might increase in colder months). Do you use lubricant eye drops like "Refresh"? I use this often, because I also have dry eye issues at times. It might also be worth reviewing your diet and environment for hidden gluten or allergens, as cross-contamination could contribute to systemic inflammation and affect your eyes. Some celiacs report lingering or unusual symptoms during the first year of healing—it’s a process, but you’re on the right track. If it persists, consider a follow-up with your doctor or an allergist to rule out anything else. Hang in there—you’re doing everything right to support your recovery!

      Welcome to the forum! Keep in mind that if you quit eating gluten before all testing is done, you may have inaccurate, possibly false negative, test results.  When you stop eating gluten, your body stops making the antibodies which are measured in the blood tests.  Stopping gluten before an endoscopy may make the intestinal damage harder to detect, and a false negative biopsy may result.  As uncomfortable as it is, finish all testing before going gluten free.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
