Birthday Treat Succes!

It's my birthday today, but our aikido club had extra training that I wanted to go to. So I decided to take something to eat and to drink with me for everyone and celebrate that way. I didn't want to take something that I wouldn't be able to eat myself, so I took some gluten free lemon cookies and some gluten-free cinnamon cookies, cucumber chunks and mandarin oranges. The mandarins and cucumbers because it's nice to eat something like that when your all sweaty from training. :) And I had sparkly mineral water and a couple kinds of juice, for the same reason.

It was a big success! :D People especially liked the gluten-free lemon cookies, and even though it wasn't like we were eating birthday cake or anything, it still felt like a celebration. I was so happy to be able to share "my" cookies with other people. :)

During the class, btw, I got thrown by everybody there, 19 times in total because of course this was my nineteenth birthday. ;)

      Thank you, Trents- are there any safe alternatives?

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Good to know, here is their website: https://polly-o.com/

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
