so today one of my co-workes has come to work with what sounds like the flue, i dont have the power to send her home since im only the manager tell 8am and she is shedualed until 2pm.

basically what i am wondering is since i am currently sick and healing from the damage from celiac disease is my immune system down, like do i have a higher chance of catching it from her or the same i always have had? i usaly never get sick but since the flu is what "triggerd" my celiac into showing visibale damage i am slightly conserend about my health

and im saying that its probably the flu because yesterday she was puking and we sent her home, today she is fatigued and has very bad D

Yes! Send the sick people home for their own sake...and to protect the people they could possibly infect...

Contact your friendly county health department. I'm sure they can steer you in the right direction. Wanna know something funny? Since celiac I rarely get the flu. (Or maybe I'm just plain to ornry to get sick) I am constantly washing my hands and never never eat w/o washing first because of CC issues. I've been much more aware of touching hands to face like eyes or such. The bugs need moist warm ways into your body. Basic hygiene will do wonders to keep you healthy.

And I don't eat fast food - my dd is an ex-MickyD's employee. What she told me was enough to turn me off of beef forever. Yecch.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
