Unexpected Benefit Of Going gluten-free

Before I went gluten free I was ready to rip out and replace all the toilets in my house with ones that could handle disposing of more... waste without plugging. I've been gluten-free/CF for nearly a year now. I totally forgot about my issue with the toilets until my sister came over and left me with a clogged toilet. Then I realized I wasn't unclogging the toilet every time I used it!

Yes this has been my experience also!

Another surprising benefit for me has been the almost 100% elimination of my fatigue problem and my, as a result, subsequent, non-need to say to everyone I met "I am tired". I no longer say that phrase and it is been such a relief! I only started noticing this recently. It is great

The list is endless.

I was starting to get a little bit impatient with my work colleagues and family (and I have always thought I was an easy going person) before I was diagnosed. And a few things were beginning to get on top of me.

Now I don't seem to get annoyed with colleagues and we have a happeir work enviroment.

Still have to work on the homelife. I think all I need to do now, is teach the teenage sons how to tidy up after themselves. I think this will be a long, hard job.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
