 I was diagnisoed with biopsies and then had bloods taken. Iron stores low which i expected and liver enzymes very slightly raised. My doctor says this is to be expected with celiacs and i start gluten free today but the liver one worries me anyone else had this i suffer from health anxiety and dont wont to google although my doctor said three times it was nothing to worry about

Your doctor is correct. Many folks prediagnosis have wonky liver panels. My doctors always accused me of being an alcholic even though I rarely drank. It wasn't long after I was diagnosed that those liver panels went back to normal. Yours likely will also.

It would be best, IMHO, to wait until those liver panels are back to normal and your gut has healed.  Also be sure to read the Newbie 101 thread at the top if the Coping section, if you haven't already, to learn how to keep yourself as safe as possible. Unfortunately there is more to being gluten free for us Celiac folks than just what we eat.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/

      Contaminated cooking oils

      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.
