How many of you worry about potential trace amount of gluten in some particular foods? Does this really matter? Are we being a bit paranoid? Tell me your thoughts...

I'm pretty careful - and even avoid contaminated lines when I can if I buy something that's prepackaged.

i personally can tolerate gluten free foods (gluten free by euro standards) so that trace amount doesn't seem to bother me.

i do avoid foods with known contamination issues - like conveyor belts - but i don't always avoid a food just cos they have a warning cos some are likely there just so they can cover themselves in case of anything.

i consider going out to eat to always be a risk, so i try to eat out as safely as possible, but as not often as possible. even though there's inevitably some trace amounts of gluten (that's my personal opinion, not a guarentee!) i feel like as a quality of life issue it's worth it. and places like outback make it much easier.

at home i have separate stuff - toaster, condiments, cutting boards

Thanks for all the info guys. Tell me, why is Outback good for gluten-free? I never been in the eating out forum, I'm sure I will find more info there.

www.outback.com they have a gluten-free menu, which apparently is now available at their restaurants too (i used to print out my own copy)

i always have a problem with the salad, i usually have to send it back cos even though it has no croutons you can see little pieces of them in the salad. just be persistent heh

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
