Is Everyone Wearing Something Green Today?

I'm not sure if everyone saw the previous post about this. A bunch of us were going to wear green today, the official color of celiac awareness, in a tribute to Bette Hagman who passed away this week. I tried to get my non-celiac friends and family to wear green today to no avail. I guess if you don't actually have celiac you don't realize what a big deal it is. My husband is wearing a green shirt because he wouldn't dare not to. :) Throw on something green today, a shirt, hat, necklace, etc and promote celiac awareness!

John is wearing green today, but I had to minimize my green to a bracelet since I had to go to clinic today.

I wore a green t-shirt to my CT Scan today. Has anyone heard if they are doing any sort of memorials for Bette?

Just a quick update. I am happy to say that two of my (non-celiac) coworkers came in wearing green! I haven't heard about any memorials. I am also part of the NYC celiac meetup group and I know on there they are encouraging people to make one of her recipes.

I am wearing green today!! I LOVE so many of Bette Hagman's recipes and I couldn't resist showing my support for all she did for us!

So where can I get one of these bracelets?? I missed something!

So sorry to hear that about Betty. Where does everyone get the Celiac Awareness bracelets from? I just posted about that wishing we had them. I am newly diagnosed (3 months ago) so am still learning a lot about all of this.

Thanks

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      By trents · Posted

      Eating out at restaurants is the single most risky environment for cross contamination.  Shared oven racks should be thoroughly cleaned after being used for cooking/baking of gluten containing foods. Better yet, purchase a second set of racks that are used only for one or the other.

      Importance/Necessity of a gluten-free kitchen??

      By Brandy969 · Posted

      This is an expanding question on this topic, I’m not sure where to put it…. I get mixed answers on this but sense I’m Coeliac and my husband isn’t we do still use the same kitchen and cooking utensils-for the most part. I was told by dietitians and GI dr that only soap and water will “kill” the gluten. I am still so confused about this topic, even after being gluten-free for 3 years. I’m sure I’ve accidentally gotten cross contamination, but haven’t knowingly put anything with gluten in my mouth! I probably get more contamination from eating out than in our “shared kitchen”. I make all my bread in a gluten-free bread machine, and he generally uses a toaster oven to heat up gluten containing items. I bake both regular and gluten-free items in our oven, (Not at the same time). I’m constantly wiping down counters and cabinets with soap and water. I keep gluten-free items in a separate cabinet. I don’t seem to be super sensitive to gluten. I was confirmed by blood and on colonoscopy about 15 years ago, but continued eating Gluten not really knowing the damage I was doing to my body.  Can anything besides soap and water “kill” gluten? How hot would an oven have to be before killing it? So any kind of soap and any temp of water omit the gluten? That makes no sense to me if a 500 degree pizza oven won’t kill it. How can a dab of soap and lukewarm water do what heat can’t do?   thank you for putting this where it needs to be if this is the wrong spot!  sincerely needing advice, Brandy J

      I would say the tTG-IGA would be sufficient.

      I think I don't have any symptoms now. I have some fogginess but I'm not sure whether it's gluten. I think the gut related problems I described above were caused because I had giardiasis. It was treated and now I feel much better. However I started a gluten free diet after the parasite treatment so it's a bit unclear what was the reason. I'm going to repeat the tests after 2 months from now eating gluten to be sure it was giardiasis. Is it enough to do just "Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA" and "The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody"? Because my Immunoglobulin A result is normal IgG tests are not necessary if I understand it right. By the way, Merry Christmas!
