Hello i used to be so over the top when it came to making sure my food is completely gluten free. But lately im getting fed up as i get so hungry spending so much time cleaning and washing everything that i skip some steps then regret it afterwards wishing i did more. Is this normal i feel like im getting too relaxed on this diet.

Also i keep having instances happen where my food lands on my desk and i feel like that food is not contaminated even though i know there should be no gluten at my desk and i throw away the food.

Are you taking a B Complex supplement?  

Several of the eight essential B vitamins can help reduce anxiety, Cobalamine B12, Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B 6.  But all eight are needed for them to function properly.  Magnesium and Vitamin D help, too.  

Anxiety and depression are early symptoms that you may have insufficiency in vitamins and minerals.

If you are the only person who uses your desk, then you probably need to figure out a way to not worry about such things. Food is not cheap nowadays, so throwing it out isn't a great choice. I could only see doing this if I knew that my food got contaminated, or if there was a high likelihood of it.

Do you normally prepare most of your food, including when you venture out? If so, you should be good, but if you eat in restaurants you are opening yourself up to cross-contamination.

      NEW - 7 year old daughter diagnosed but 'not officially' - negligence from NHS

      By trents · Posted

      Essentially all of our UK forum participants who are in the process of a celiac disease diagnosis report that after their blood antibody testing is done, they have to wait many months to get the endoscopy/biopsy for confirmation. My impression is that the UK/European health care models do great at addressing routine healthcare needs but poorly at specialty healthcare needs.

      I think both systems have merits and faults, but in my opinion no citizen of any country should be denied health care, and it should be a basic human right, no matter your income.

      I want to stand up for the NHS! Yes, it has its issues, but after moving from the U.S. a few years ago, it’s been a real eye-opener to see just how much better the NHS is compared to the American healthcare system. For example, I can call my GP in the morning and often get an appointment that same day. Healthcare is provided to all UK residents, free at the point of use, no matter your income or job status. That’s a massive relief. In the U.S., people regularly go bankrupt because of medical bills—it’s one of the leading causes of financial ruin. Here, that just doesn’t happen. Plus, the UK consistently reports lower infant mortality rates and higher life expectancy compared to the U.S. No...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Russ H · Posted

      I developed a heart arrhythmia and on several occasions had to wear a 24 hour Holter monitor. Among other things, I had premature atrial complexes (PACs) and occasional AFib. I was very fit at the time, running and cycling. This completely disappeared following my diagnosis and following a strict gluten free diet. I haven't had a single episode since, in 4 years.

      Newly diagnosed with non celiac gluten sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      Testing for celiac disease, whether blood antibody testing or biopsy procedure, will likely be invalidated when the gluten consumption has been discontinued ahead of the testing or the procedure for more than a couple of weeks or so. For the person with celiac disease, the consumption of gluten results in the production of specific antibodies that can be detected in the blood because the immune system is attacking the gluten as it comes in contact with the small bowel lining. The blood testing is designed to detect these antibodies. Over time, the inflammation wears down the villi that line the small bowel. The biopsy is designed to spot this damage to the lining. When gluten...
