The Word Is Getting Out!

I have been so pumped lately because more and more people are talking about gluten free. Last week when I brought my child to dancing 2 moms were talking about the gluten free diet. One said that a doctor had placed her on the diet or recommended it along with a sugar free diet because she was battling yeast too, and this also hit home because I am always battling yeast. The other mom was asking about the diet because all her children are having different problems that to me could be from gluten, but her pedi recommended it for her oldest child but she said she thinks they could all benefit from it. Then this week a lady that works with my husband called me to ask questions about going gluten free because of her son's reflux, and behavior issues etc. I was so pumped to hear more and more people catching on to this!!

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
