Food Segregation At Home

I'm sure other people have done this, and I've read of several ways people designate "thier" food from others in the household, but I came up with a home labeling system that I'm proud of and that indulges my inner twelve year old.

Some stuff is really easy to tell if I can have and some isn't and my boyfriend is horribly paranoid about glutening me, bless his heart, so this is what I did.

I bought a sheet of sparkly shark stickers and a sheet of sparkly hearts.

If its got a shark on it, its mine don't eat it ( expensive yummy foods.)

If its got a heart on it, I can have it, you can have it, don't contaminate it.

If its got a shark AND a heart then I wish you wouldn't but if you absolutely have to, go ahead.

Its a little complicated, but I always want to buy stickers, but tell myself that I'm 27 and that's so not ok. And I have some moderate OCD, so it works for me.

And they have little prisms on them, which makes the inside of my fridge kinda disco like.

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      We have been tested and tested negative. But we have not done the gene testing.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!
