  1. /There is no requirement in the regulations to mark food and drink with "traces of", which makes it a voluntary warning marking. There is also no upper limit for what a "track" is. Sometimes the marking is misused to have "the back free", and not because there is a real danger of contamination. This can place an unnecessary restriction on those who have...
  2. Yes, some very sensitive celiacs do react, but most can tolerate it. But I think I'll avoid everything in the beginning just to be sure.
  3. Yes, I agree. In my country, everything that has more than 20 ppm must be labeled with gluten. So “may contain” should have less than 20 ppm. I'm not sure if It's worth avoiding it the first months? Or if I'm safe enough anyways.
  4. But even gluten-free foods say “may contain” on it?
  5. But when starting on a gluten-free diet is it okay to eat “may contain traces of gluten”
  6. Yes I talked to my doctor yesterday and she said that both the fact that I struggle to focus on schoolwork and my stool problems are signs of celiac disease. And since my blood test are nearly 5 times upper normal she said there was no point in hoping I don't have it. I just found out 😫
  7. When going gluten-free after getting a celiac diagnosis should you avoid food labeled “may contain traces of gluten”?
  8. Another strange nasty thing. (Warning disgusting) This week I’ve tried to eat more gluten just to see if it triggers any symptoms. And I’ve experienced some changes, but I don’t know if gluten is to blame or if it anything else but anyway. If you have experience this please tell me. In the mornings I usually have had diarrhea (not floating) (Still blood...
  9. I will soon, when I get the diagnosis (in february hopefully).
  10. Well, if I don't do it I won't get economic support or a diagnosis. You have to have above marsh 2b to get diagnosed she told me. Just the rules of my country. Mum thinks it's stupid but they really can't do anything. That's the way it works.
  11. Well I'm going to do a blood test in January and endoscopy in February so I think I'll have to eat gluten until then anyways. But I'm not going to torture myself to hard I think , Iast time I did endoscopy was in August 2020. So over a year ago. Do you think it will be higher on the scale now even if I cut most gluten from my diet? I was told to eat at least...
  12. I think I got it. It’s just a bit frustrating to think about. I eat a lot of fiber and drink a lot of milk however my D-vitamin level is low, so I think that's the reason for those knuckle and bone sounds things. I have been taking supplements but they don't work. I've understood that this also may be due to gluten though. My doctor now said I had t...
  13. That's a bit though to hear. I should probably listen to my doctor then. I don't want to get other health problems. If it makes my life better it may be worth it.
  14. Ok. That's so sad! I hope my test results are wrong cause we're travelling to France next year and I can't live without croissants 😵‍💫
  15. Ok. So that means you can't cheat once in a while?
  16. I find it very difficult to stop eating the food I love, if I have this.
  17. But if you don't feel very ill when eating gluten why do you have to eat gluten-free then?
  18. Oh, thank you. Well I have a friend who is celiac and she said she doesn't think I have it cause then I would have felt much worse than that. Cause when she gets ill she gets diarrhea and she throws up. And I never wanted to think I could have it either but when I took the blood test now I started to wonder if there were any chance that I could have symptoms...
  19. Hey. I’m a 17 yo girl who coincidentally found out I might have celiac disease cause my growth curve flattened, but I can’t really understand how. Cause I don’t have many typical symptoms I think. So how possible is it? That’s my question. I got tested last year and I had tTG IgA levels 21 U/ml (7 u/ml upper limit) HLA Dq2 and biopsies showed mars grade 1...
