Hello i am newly diagnosed and have a question. I am worried about every day occurrences. For example i just bumped into someone holding and eating a sausage roll from Greggs. Would this affect me in any way.

Welcome to the forum, Bobby123!

No. Don't overthink this. As a general rule, ingestion of gluten is all you have to worry about. There are some exceptions to that for those who are super sensitive to gluten who may also experience celiac reactions from inhaling the aroma of freshly baked bread in a bakery or from contact with skin from foods, shampoos or lotions. Unless you discover that your are super sensitive, just focus on avoiding ingestion of gluten or putting gluten things on your lips and in your mouth such as could happen with say mouthwash or toothpaste that contain gluten.

Focus on learning how gluten is hidden in foods through terminology and avoiding cross contamination when you eat.

I agree, and if the roll touched your skin a simple wash would remove it. Some celiacs avoid going into wheat bakeries and get symptoms they believe have come from air exposure, but some work at them and haven't had issues.

Thanks for your replies. Also i like with non-celiacs that share a microwave. Am i right in assuming my food would be fine if i use a plate and a plate cover even if they cooked food 2 hours prior.

I think you would be okay there, Bobby. Some or our forum participants report celiac reactions even to the aroma of freshly baked bread but I do not think that is a problem except with the most sensitive celiacs.

I won’t think so….as long as you don’t eat ,inhale or rub it on your skin ….you should be fine….

wishing you a symptom free day…😁

Thank you so much. Also just caught my cat pawing my chocolate bars. I am assuming they are fine if they are all in wrappers. Did not want to throw away food.

Candy can contain wheat, either as an intentional ingredient or through cross contamination (CC) of some of the ingredients that may have been processed on equipment used to process gluten containing grains. Don't take anything for granted.

Forgot to mention they are gluten-free bars.

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
