Am I overexaggerating or is it normal?

I found this article very interesting, especially section 5.2 in which milk and wheat are discussed as environmental triggers in Celiac Disease.

A Potential Link between Environmental Triggers and Autoimmunity

@trents hey i got one other question regarding the cashier job, do you think there could be air floating around where I am? Its a big supermarket, I will only work once per week in the weekends. Could there be some airborn flour from people who bought flour?

I think the cashier's job in the supermarket would be better than the fast food restaurant job.  

You can always keep an M-95 mask in your pocket to use if you see someone purchasing sacks of flour in the grocery store.  

The airborne gluten would be much higher in a restaurant where cooking makes gluten particles airborne.  Stay clear of the bakery if the grocery store has one for the same reason. 

Best wishes!

Theres a bakery, but its a big supermarket so the bakery is avoidable.
It just scares me to think theres flour in the air while I work as a cashier, but then again this would mean everytime I go buy grocery from a store I get glutened. (which isnt the case I believe as not all celiacs wear masks while purchasing grocery).

Do you think flour spreading out from its packages is avoidable if I scan them gently?

Yes, I do.  Handled carefully, the bags of flour should not be a problem.

I agree with knitty kitty.

I also agree.  I would add, be sure to wash your hands at the end of a shift, or before eating if you have a break and a snack.

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency. No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic...

      This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
