Source of "glutenated"

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced random "glutenated attacks" as I call them.  I was diagnosed in January with Celiac and have worked very hard to avoid gluten.  However, I have found that I have become ill on random occasions (like today) with all my usual symptoms of getting exposed to gluten.  I don't know it's from cross contamination or what, but it is very frustrating.  Has anyone else experienced this? FYI-We are not a gluten free household due to cost.  It's only me that remains gluten free.  

Thank you for reading my post.

Many members have reported similar episodes, and it can sometimes be hard to track down the root cause, especially if you are living in a non-gluten-free household. 

I recommend that you keep a food diary so you can look back whenever this happens. It's also possible that you have additional food intolerance issues, for example to oats or dairy/casein. Keeping a food diary might help you figure this out.

Eating at restaurants is a very common source of contamination.

Also consider if you are getting exposed to any airborne gluten. feeding farm animals (I got glutened bad from feeding my neighbor's chickens), home construction going on? Glue? Playdough? Petting or getting licked by pets that eat gluten?

      Daughter waiting for appointment

      By jjiillee · Posted

      My daughter,17 was getting stomach pains off and on for months. Went to pediatrician, bloodwork came back showing TTG-IGA 5.3 weak positive. Told to follow up with gastroenterology, continue to eat gluten. Can’t get appoint until end of Jan (we are on waitlist also), called back because she was still getting pains and nurse said to let her try to go gluten free for a few weeks and see if she feels better. She does feel better. My question is should I let her stay gluten free until the end of January and see what the Gastro says? I know she will have to be eating gluten before she has any further testing, but that is likely months away at this point.

      Anybody else have a similar experience...theories welcome as its something which i dont really understand.....

      By Pat Denman · Posted

      Many years ago, there was a doctor who recommended never eating the same food within 5 days. Also recommended greens only 2X per week. Can't remember his name. Dx Celiac at age 87 by self as where I live in the northwest of Idaho, there is no medical insurance which covers Celiac disease or even will pay for tests!

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      By StaciField · Posted

      I am so scared of going to my doctor because she didn’t give me any information on my condition just saying remove gluten. I have a number of things that relate to coeliac disease but the doctor never picked up on it years ago when I was questioning my health.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease about 8 months ago. I have been on a gluten free diet since then but I am still struggling with symptoms.  My bones hurt all over my body, my hips and elbows especially. My arms are tingling a lot and feeling numb.
