Cross Contamination, Food Sharing
Beacon60 replied to Rogol72's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I just had this very issue at dinner last Friday. I was at a table of 8 at an Italian night event. The chef served me and another celiac gluten-free food that he had prepared specifically for us and even had tongs for us alone for more of the food. The rest of the food, to be passed family style was just put on the table. Well you can imagine what happened... -
I too am benefitting from social distancing (USUALLY). Our community has a large number of restaurants offering takeout and delivery. We are all trying to help them survive the pandemic.

I was diagnosed in 2005. I have only twice in 15 years knowingly ingested gluten and yet I know that I am regularly exposed. I am extremely careful at home and when I dine out.

ARCHIVED What Do You Do For The Pain?
Beacon60 replied to kenlove's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I was diagnosed 2 and a half years ago and I still have accidents. I believe that my system must be getting more sensitive because I used to just have multiple bathroom runs when I ate gluten, but lately I have lots of pain too. Three days ago I KNOW that I didn't eat gluten because I prepared all of my food, but I still had a very painful night, and up... -
I was in the city a year ago and a friend brought me several things from Babycakes. They were excellent. Do they have a website? Can you order from them online? Mary

ARCHIVED Do I Have The Highest Antibody Level On This Forum?
Beacon60 replied to JustJust's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Hello, My levels were also over 100, too numerous to count. The higher the number does indicate that the disease is full blown.
