Hello. I am doing a lot better and feel more like myself nowadays on a gluten free diet. However i have gone back to regular pet food as grain free is too expensive. Am i putting myself at risk by doing this or should i switch back.

Thanks.

I think if you take basic precautions when you handle the food, and clean up anywhere it might get spilled, then you should be fine. It also might be important to make sure your pet doesn't take food into other areas of your house, or lick you after eating, etc.

Wash your hands with soap and water. Unless you are laying food on top of the pet food you’ll be fine.

Ok thank you. Also sometime the cat biscuits are poured next to a radiator with towels on them is it even possible for the food dust to land on the towels and then transfer to my hands when i wash them or am i overthinking this?

You may be overthinking this, but perhaps move the cat dish just for piece of mind?

      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.
