    My 12 year old daughter is newly diagnosed with celiac. It’s made her borderline OCD about cross contamination and her phobia of vomiting. It’s hard to help without hard facts to present to her. Does anyone know the amount of cross contamination that affects those with celiac or is it dependent on the severity of the disease specific to each person?

    Poor kid. I can’t imagine dealing with this at such a young age. I swear I have PTSD from being so sick after being glutened. When traveling, and we eat somewhere I’ve never been before, my anxiety levels are off the charts for the next 3 hours. 

  2. I’ve been diagnosed Celiac for 15 years. For the first few years accidental gluten ingestion meant many trips to the bathroom. The vomiting started in year three. Three hours after exposure I become violently ill with vomiting, chills and diarrhea. This lasts about 3-4 hours. I get so weak I can barely hold my head up. There is a large history of Celiac Disease in my family.  My mother had this reaction too but my two adult children only experience diarrhea and stomach aches. They have been diagnosed for about 3 and 5 years.
