Ditto cycling lady on everything, and more so on the paleo diet. If you get done with testing, full gluten diet, and scopes, I would suggest a the Paleo Auto Immune diet or at the very least a paleo diet. If you have one Autoimmune issue your highly likely to have more. I treat my Celiac, and UC with a paleo diet and even took it to keto macros with low...1 point

Celiac Or Something Else? Some Things Got Worse After Going gluten-free
radley reacted to cyclinglady for a topic
Hi! I am sorry that you are still struggling. You can not rule out celiac disease for a variety of reasons. First, you did not show an Immunoglobulin A (IgA) test result which NVSMOM pointed out years ago that is used as a control test when trying to diagnose celiac disease. If you are IgA deficient, your IgA-type celiac tests would be invalid...1 point -
Welcome back. I'm sorry the gluten challenge hit you so hard. Did you get tested after the challenge? If not, you might want to do it right away so you know if you are dealing with celiac disease or the more common non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), which has almost all the same symptoms that a celiac has.

Thyroiditis can mess with your stomach and can actually cause a weak positive result for the anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG IgA and tTG IgG) which can cause intestinal problems. It is possible that your thyroid problem is affecting your health. That being said, there is a strong link between thyroiditis and celiac disease, so if you have a gluten intolerance...1 point

I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer. -

I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:

I’m worried about cross contamination, as people don’t clear up properly. I take my own lunch in a packed lunch box with my own cutlery, plate etc and wash it all at home everyday rather than using the schools communal options. There is always crumbs or food left out for us to share on tables etc.

Welcome to the forum, @Tanya177! Help us understand why you don't eat with the other staff members at the present time. I'm assuming you already pack your own lunch rather than eating school cafeteria food. Surely there are other staffers who bring their own lunches. How would this be different if you did not have celiac disease?
