I would never trust someone ele's cleaning a waffle iron and using it for gluten-free. Not even myself!!  I take a more natural approach, Like suggested above take a small unit to cook your own or just take some fruit and yogurt or like stated above some toaster sleeves and your own bread. It's not hard just a lil inconvenient. But really it isn't that confusing if your having a hard time go to natural foods. Whole meats , whole veggies and fruits. Make sure when you go out to eat you tell them you are Celiac. If they cook you a steak they won't put all that seasoning on it. To me alot of it is just common sense. The more natural you eat the less chance of being Glutened. Good luck!!

No, the question was about artificial flavorings and you kept giving me information about natural flavors...I kept trying to point that out to you and you kept posting the same link to the same blog that had no information about what I was talking about...so, do I just ignore that list from this site because you say it's ok? I'm trying to trust you but when your information is contradictory, it's hard.

 

Actually,  the article covered "flavorings"--including natural flavors, smoke flavors and caramel coloring

 

I think we mentioned to you that  "artificial flavors" were not an issue (because why would any product need artificial wheat flavor?) and if it even somehow had it, the ingredient would have to be listed.

 

I'm sorry you feel as if this is overwhelming, but hon, you sounds as if are really making this harder on yourself than it has to be. 

 

Wheat, rye, barley, Oats, malt.  That's it. If it has oats and it does not say "certified G F oats"--skip it.

I agree.  Forget "learning"  the ingredient lists.  Most of that stuff isn't healthy for you anyway.  And stressing over all the ingredients is, well, darn stressful.  I recall leaving the grocery store inb tears more than once in the beginning!!!

Go the whole foods route.  It's healthy, gluten free naturally and healing to the gut.  Personally, I would forget the gluten free foods as well since they are crammed with plenty of unhealthy ingredients.

It takes 1/200th of a teaspoon to set off an autoimmune response. Partner, those are worse odds than Las Vegas.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      In general if it is certified gluten-free serious steps are taken to avoid cross-contamination, but things can still happen in a shared facility, and gluten-free certification isn't a guarantee, as we've seen recently:

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      I had a variety of skin issues while growing up that were likely related to celiac disease, although I did not get full blown celiac disease until I was in my early 20's. I had topical dermatitis in certain areas, blepharitis (eyelids), and a patch of dermatitis herpetiformis on the back of my right-thumb area. I do believe that many people who have the genetic...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      As already mentioned here, and based on your description, this sounds like a serious and specific reaction to green beans. While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, no...

      Slow healing?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October last year and followed a strict gluten free diet since then. My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b...

While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, not just an intolerance. Given your history of celiac disease and tree nut allergies, your immune system is already predisposed to sensitivities. It is crucial to stop consuming green beans immediately and consult an allergist. They can perform more specific testing and may prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector for emergency use, as this type of reaction can be unpredictable and potentially escalate.

My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b - 3a. Is this normal healing for a year? My main symtoms pre- diagnosis was joint/back pain, poor immune system and stomach problems (especially in the morning). Joint pain and the immune system improved almost instantly but the stomach problems still persist (but has gotten better). For reference I am a 21 year old male and both my ttg levels were normal after just 4 months and also the test for calkprotekin. My diet consists of 99% home cooked meals in a kitchen free from gluten.

      I read that as well but I saw the Certified Gluten free symbol that is the reason I ourchased it.

      Issues before diagnosis

      By cristiana · Posted

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.
