Hi!! My name is talia, i’m new here and im looking for advice. I was diagnosed only two years after the gene was triggered. My symptoms include brain fog, fatigue, inflamed joints, insommnia and low mood. I have been eating mars bars a lot after “rediscovering” them. Today i discovered they are made with barley. I’ve been eating them since halloween and i hadnt noticed any symptoms. I’m hoping someone has some advice on how to identify my symptoms besides bloodwork and “being under the weather.”

Welcome to the forum, @Talia.io!

I'm afraid your post is confusing to me. If you aren't having symptoms, how can we identify your symptoms? Are you asking about symptoms that you may be overlooking that may help you spot unexpected gluten exposure?

Switch to Snickers.  M&M Peanuts are my favorite.  My surprise was Twizzlers.  I always though they were all sugar but when I finally read the label, turns out they are mostly Wheat!  If the Mars were you're only unintentional gluten, you learned a lesson.

With that gluten out of your diet you may get past that plateau I guess you are stuck on.

Celiac Disease causes malabsorption, so on your new diet pay special attention to your vitamin and minerals.  If you use sunblock take vitamin D, without unprotected summer sun or vitamin D pills you will have low vitamin D and that comprimises your immune system, bone density, dental health, and even mood (winter doldrums become year round).

Sadly, too many doctors just say "don't eat gluten. See you next year"

Theres lots of good info here. Poke around.

yes, I was having symptoms but because i don’t get physically ill they can be hard to identify. It manifested as trouble sleeping and pain in my legs and feet, which i attributed to other factors which was on me.

I’ve had celiac disease for about 5-6 years and on occasion i’ve eaten gluten without realising through cross contamination and whatnot. I do have low vitamin D, so thank you for the advice. Unfortunately ive been eating mars bars consistently for about 5 months to “treat myself” when i feel down. I’m hoping to get into a GI who can help me figure out if there’s any damage to my intestines and stuff.

You should re-examine your diet for gluten and be sure you're 100% gluten-free, and then the symptoms should go away. 

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

 

It's best to find gluten-free treats, and this may be helpful:

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
