I want to go to the farmers market but I scared they are gonna take a break to eat not wash their hands then touch the fruit and vegetables . Does anyone else have that concern? How would you deal with that would you not buy from the market or buy and just wash the stuff extra ? Or worse they eat right there in their stand dropping crumbs everywhere or the people walking around eating I'm super stressed out about this disease I am super sensitive I can't have any gluten in my house in 3 years I have only made it 3 months with out accidentally gluten once and the last 3 times was from other people's actions thank you for your time

Hello, 

I buy at the farmers market all the time as it is still how we do our shopping where I live in SE Europe. It is easy to wash fruit and vegetables so you shouldn't worry so much as any potential gluten can be washed away. I havent really seen the sellers eating sandwiches above their wares though (I had the same concern in the beginning). The only thing I changed are the butchers at those markets and I now buy only from those that sell pure meats (no marinated stuff). You seem to be a very sensitive celiac so I understand your concerns, but living in fear is also not good and can take a toll on your health. If your groceries can be washed properly then I think it shouldn't be a problem. Also, a lot of fruit and vegs are the kind you have to or can peel so that gives you an extra layer of protection and reassurance. Best wishes!

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
