Hi everyone do you know whether when you get a draft cider if there is a chance that it runs through the same tubing as a beer did sometime prior? the reason I’m asking is that I’m trying to eliminate a source of hidden gluten that I think hits me about once a month. And I have a suspicion it might be cider from the draft at certain bars. When I a...

Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point). So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another...

Thanks @Beverage for checking in! I haven't changed the dogs' food yet. I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen). Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new...

Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look. And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take...

Yea ... you're probably right. I think I have been in a sort of denial about how bad this condition is. I thought it would be easier to deal with it. It is clearly NOT. Reading different posts on this forum over the past few weeks has helped me come to terms with that a bit, that this is a tough disease to live with and it takes some very serious steps...

Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all. So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once an...

Thanks so much. 🙏 I see they have them on Amazon. I'm all over it. I'll let you know how it goes.

@knitty kitty thank you for this suggestion. Yes definitely. Actually, since you brought it up, I just looked to see what amount of B vitamins my multi-vitamin had in it. I just realized that not only am I taking the version of thiamine that you mentioned doesn't absorb well, but also that I inadvertently reduced the amount of thiamine that I'm taking daily...

Thank you @cristiana. Its really helpful to hear your experience, thanks for sharing. 8 years is a long time! And its also good to know that others have experienced worsening before it gets better. I've just started doing the food diary recently, and I'll keep that going. It's at least helping me try to get a handle on this, and also helps increase my...

Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.

Thanks @cristiana I really appreciate hearing all of this... I definitely need to look out better for the shared dishes/pans/ovens thing. I'm currently not doing a good job of that at all. But I think I need to make the airfryer a gluten-free only airfryer. I've been keeping a food diary for these past few days and so far its been interesting. I think...

Thank you @knitty kitty I really appreciate that suggestion as a way to reset and heal my gut - i will look into it !!

Thank you very much @trents! This is super helpful. The only time I wasn’t sick after my diagnosis was when I was ordering and eating certified gluten-free meals from a company. I did that for a few months right after being diagnosed and then I started to try to figure it out how to cool and eat gluten-free meals myself. I think I’m probably getting low lev...

Hi everyone! I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago (they confirmed it on endoscopy following a positive TTG antibody and positive genetic test). I thought the gluten free diet thing wasn’t going to be that hard of an adjustment, but man was I wrong. I’m a year in and still having issues in terms of accidentally glutening myself and getting super sick (I’...
