Office/work Places Glutenings!

How many of us get sick and we know we didn't gluten ourselves. Well today I noticed one of my coworkers come over to our little "kitchenette." It is a mini-fridge with a microwave on top. No counter space or anything.

Well, I see her digging around in the fridge. I notice her sandwich sitting on my absent coworkers desk, just laying there not wrapped, no plate, sitting on the bare desk....Why any one would put their food on a desk which has so many germs is nasty to begin with. I even called her on it, and explained that she shouldn't be placing her food on anyone's desk but her own. She thought it was funny.

So how am to know it doesn't happen when I am gone?

So for all of you who are wondering where you are getting your glutenings from....here's to the coworkers. What do you guys think?

Makes me glad I don't work in an office anymore... My house is gluten free. The only place I have to worry about is the garage because our employees eat out there. I'm very careful out there.

I'm sure that it could easily happen. I don't even put my lunch in the fridge at work. But to lay a sandwich on a germy desk, YUCK! I work in a bank and we serve cookies and coffee to our customers. I get to work the lobby one day a week, so I'm sure the customers get me with their crumbs. The rest of the time I'm on the drive in so much safer.

      Hi Scott, i think You misunderstand me i am confirmed seronegative celiac but i still feel shity. I do not eat GLUTEN or Lactose. I am on gluten diet for 1year now and i am still dropping weight and muscle and still feel shitty. I have done every possible test regarding abdomen... Does somebody anybody have similar or same situation....? Thank You

      Given that she had a weak positive tTg-IgA blood test for celiac disease, and she gets symptom relief from a gluten-free diet, she could be in a pre-celiac disease stage, and might develop full blown celiac disease (villi damage) if she continues to eat gluten. At this point, even though her biopsy is negative, she may want to stay gluten-free. As @trents mentioned, she likely has NCGS.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Have you had symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet? If so, you may be in the NCGS area. Also, are you eating oats, and have you tried cutting out dairy/casein?

      Probably NCGS then and there is also the possibility of an H. Pylori infection.

      Scott thank you. Finally found the oreos and they are a winner.
