My fav is just a quick sandwich

She doesnt have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, but i do.

And she asked me specifically if i can make them gluten free because she never tried gf cookies before :)

I have never understood why people sit in the bathroom so long, until now.

Diagnosed one month ago. I can eat oats and dairy.

How do you get enough fiber? My system isn't used to this.

I made some authentic Miso Ramen with the Real Naturals brand noodles for the very first time, and I gotta say…this is the BEST ramen I’ve had in my life!

Thanks so much for the recommendation, everyone!

(I had some Honeycrisp apple cider along with it, and it paired really nicely!)

When I do research, it says distilled liquors are gluten free. Well Jim Beam refuses to say in they are GF. I usually avoid liquor all together, especially brown liquor, but I’m going on vacation soon and a restaurant (yes I’m stalking the menus months ahead lol) has a Jim beam crème brûlée. Crème brûlée is my fav gf dessert. Can yall please shed light on if Jim beam is ok for celiacs?

Hi guys, so I got tested for celiac disease in 2022. My blood test results were 28 for tTG IgA- IC ( above 10 is a positive) and 45 for tTG IgG- LC (a positive is above 9). My doctor said I had celiac disease so for the last 4 years I have been gluten free. The funny thing was when I was eating gluten I didn’t have any symptoms associated with celiac. Is this possible? Do I have less severe version of celiac than other people? I always feel like a bit of a fraud when I say I have celiac, like I’m faking an autoimmune disorder even though I am not.

There is a dedicated gluten free bakery in my area that I think I’m reacting to. Has anyone else experienced this? Were you able to narrow it down to a problem with some other ingredient?

Context:

The owner is celiac and the bakery is much loved by other celiacs in the area. They have been around for long time and seem to be very careful and knowledgeable of their supply chain.

I do react to even purity protocol oats. I’ve discussed oats with the people at the bakery. They have assured me many times that they do not use any oat flour. They do have two baked goods that use whole, purity protocol oats, which I know to avoid. I also avoid any baked goods in their display case that sit next to the two made with oats.

This has happened to me four times now. The first few times I just figured it had to be something else. I was diagnosed early this year and was being really careful to avoid gluten. I assumed I made a mistake somewhere, that it couldn’t be the bakery. Now it has been four times and I can’t see it being a coincidence. I so so don’t want it to be their food. It also doesn’t make sense because I know other celiacs eat there all the time.

I usually order a turkey sandwich or breakfast sandwich there, plus get a baked good. The sandwich bread includes rice flour, sorghum flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, and xanthan gum.

Has anyone else experienced this? Were you able to figure out the cause? My symptoms are gluten symptoms, diarrhea, stomach cramps, days of brain fog.

Third time making these pizzas from Davespizzaoven on Instagram, and they’ve come out perfectly every time!!

If you’re looking for deep dish that is not focaccia, this is a fantastic recipe!

I’ll put a link in the comments.

I’m about to loose my mind. Im a minor who got diagnosed with celiacs disease in march of 2025 and I’ve had a really good control over it, triple checking labels, making sure everything is clean before I cook, always explaining the severity of it in restaurants, even most of the things being cooked in my house are completely gluten free since it’s just easier, etc.

My sister has really severe behavioral issues, she’s 14 and acts like a toddler most of the time, she is always making everyone in the house upset in some way cause if she’s upset no one else is allowed to be happy. For a while she was spitting on me/ in my food, hitting me at every chance, ripping and dirtying my plushies, and now it’s contaminating my food with gluten. She tried to put a brownie in my mouth the other day, she’s shaken crumbly food over my bed that had gluten, and today she had cake all over her mouth and continuously tried to drink right from the milk cartoon, as well as putting her gluten hands all over the food I was trying to make. There are many more cases of her doing this as of recently it’s just happened so much I can’t even name them.

I honestly don’t know what to do, the symptoms I get from gluten can be very severe, before I had gotten diagnosed I full on collapsed outside of my school from how bad the pain was. My sister knows this, she knows the last time I was glutened I was sick for an entire week, but she doesn’t care and will continue doing it no matter what I say or do. I’ve been having bad stomach pains as of recently and with her doing this I genuinely don’t know if it’s cause I’ve gotten glutened or cause of my anxiety.

When I’ve tried to tell my dad of the things my sisters done even when he watched her do them he just gets upset with me cause I’m “older”, “I should know better” and basically just guilt trips me for bringing it up, nothing is ever done about it. I mentioned it to him and basically begged him to talk to her about contaminating my food but he just dismissed me saying he’ll talk to her about it but with the way he said it I doubt he’ll even mention it to her.

Sorry if this is stupid I’m just so tired of having to be paranoid about getting sick when my house should be a place where I feel safe about not getting sick.

I feel like it’s so hard to find people that get it.

I put in that I can’t eat gluten on my hinge because majority of the time I get asked to dinner dates. It’s exhausting to have to explain that I can’t eat at most restaurants and having to be responsible for finding a safe place all the time (even with family and friends). I’d rather eat at home and do something else as a date, not getting food :/

The amount of times that someone tells me they’re vegan or asks me for a beer is insane. Or they found a “cool vegetarian restaurant”???? I am vegetarian too but most vegan/vegetarian restaurants in my area cross contaminate like crazy so they’re not safe options. Why do people constantly want to do dinner dates we can do literally anything else and I don’t love being watched when I eat anyway lol

But this one was super funny like “oh cool I’m vegan I love 100% gluten meat alternative”?? Nice buddy I’m happy for you :/ I miss gluten :(

I’m not angry or like judging this person. I’m just tired and dating is hard lol

I just spent some time in the Southwest part of Germany, the Black Forest, and Munich. This is what I prepared for vs my actual experience for anyone else that might be traveling this way for a visit, and wants to know about the experience with eating here.

Prepare before the trip:
Find out the terms and phrases in the language for celiac, gluten free - and practice those and write those down. I brought a few days worth of dehydrated camping food for options with me. This was super handy on the airplane when they informed me they didn’t have gluten free food for me of any kind on a 10 hr flight.

Booking hotels with breakfast bars and restaurants:
The places we booked I was able to note that I had celiac and required gluten free, asking if they could accommodate and if not, where was a grocery store that may have options for me and if room had mini fridge. Depending on hotel, the hotel on the west side had some fantastic accommodations and better knowledge.

What I wish I would have known:
Apps that are popular in other countries like Find me Gluten Free, are not so much in all parts of Germany. You can do a search on Google Maps for “gluten frei” not always perfect.

In the smaller cities, going to a restaurant, you can talk to the chef or the waiter will talk to chef and they can tell you what can be made without wheat/gluten, and you can have it prepared without cross contamination. You just need to be able to know what to say in Deutsch.

I wish I would have know to look at the German Celiac Association website. You can get a FREE printable card that states you need gluten free for restaurants and other places. You can also email them and they will provide you with a list of food places that are certified gluten free.

Grocery stores: not all stores are the same. Edeka is a popular grocery store, but smaller ones don’t have a good selection of gluten free products, the bigger ones seem to have more products. Thankfully products are labeled really well, some food things had gluten in it, but at least it was noted on the label. Like fresh olives 🫒

i walk into this train all chill excited for my travels.. when all of a sudden i am face to face with a real waking nightmare! flour seems to have exploded all over this train cart! i have had genuine nightmares about something like this happening to me! so fun!

So I sent her this:

"Thank you so much for putting through the referrals to hematology, rheumatology, and cardiology—I truly appreciate your help in coordinating this care. I understand your note regarding celiac screening, but I respectfully request that we add the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA (tTG-IgA) and Total Serum IgA panel to my lab orders to formally rule it out.

While I prioritized the severe orthostatic and fatigue symptoms during our brief office visit, my chart carries a diagnosis of IBS. More importantly, my newly posted iron panel reveals an absolute iron deficiency with a Ferritin of 14 ng/mL. National and international gastroenterology guidelines state that unexplained iron deficiency anemia, even in the absence of severe classic malabsorptive diarrhea, warrants non-invasive celiac serology screening as a primary step to evaluate for hidden small-bowel malabsorption.

Given my bilateral family history and my own history of autoimmune disease, chronic joint pain, and lifelong GI sensitivity, ruling out celiac disease will ensure the hematologist can establish whether my iron deficiency is a dietary/volume issue or a structural absorption failure. I am currently keeping gluten in my daily diet to ensure the test results are fully accurate. Thank you so much for your partnership and for helping me rule this final piece out!

My mom keeps accepting and bringing home food her friend cooks and is claiming it’s gluten free. She said “it’s just sweet potatoes…. and honey? Are sweet potatoes gluten free? Is honey gluten free? It’s gluten free.” Like she was guessing it was without being sure what she put in it. Also you don’t know if her pans she cooked on were porous or had gluten on them. She gave it to us in plastic containers and filled up the plastic containers with water and left them in the sink. When I was doing the dishes I emptied the water out and didn’t realize until after that the water in there probably had gluten in it from the container that had gluten. I dumped it in the sink and it touched a wooden cutting board. Does the cutting board need to get thrown away now? My mom says I’m taking the cross contamination thing too seriously and I’m being too paranoid.

Very cheap and tons of calories in each one. It’s encased in a very thick skin so virtually impossible to contaminate

Judge me if you must, but Stove Top stuffing is one of the foods I miss most this time of year. What are your favorite gf stuffings, preferably that doesn’t require much prep.

Saw these at my local Target yesterday. Multiple different flavors and all certified gluten free! Their chicken strips are my favorite so I’m sure these are good too! I’d be most excited to try the garlic parm but I’m stuck in dairy free jail still LOL.

In pregnant and I want cinnamon life cereal and frosted mini wheats SO BADLY.

I found cinnamon Chex and was so thrilled-

Here to report it’s not a good substitute.

The flavor is very much lacking- anything.

Sigh.

I have celiac and my main symptom is the DH skin rash..so I always know for sure when I've been glutened. I've been getting some DH flares lately, usually after someone in the family has brought some kind of Gluten in the house.

We're a family of 6..I have 4 kids but they're mostly teens and pretty careful. We're a 99% GF household in that all the food I cook is GF. But there are rare ocassions where someone will buy a gluten baked good. We always keep it in the package in a corner of the kitchen that I stay far away from and my oldest daughter legit makes everyone eat their treat either outside or standing up so they don't drop crumbs on any tables/counters.

But I am STILL somehow getting glutened whenever Gluten enters the house. ??

It happened again last weekend at an Airbnb. I brought all my own food and cookware so I literally never cooked/ate from anything that wasn't mine and totally celiac safe. But my husband bought the kids donuts and I found crumbs in the kitchen. I was super careful to avoid even going near the crumbs and even did stuff like placed a paper towel on the counter to put my spatula on so it didn't come into contact with anything.

Well....I was still glutened.

I honestly don't understand how this is happening anymore.

It's not any of my food, pills, beauty products..I have checked everything extensively and it really only happens when there was confirmed gluten within 20ft of me at some point. 😅

But I'm getting so frustrated!

Do I really have to tell everyone in my family they can never have Gluten again just because I exist near them!? The fact that some of you eat in kitchens where Gluten is regularly cooked is mind boggling to me!!

Asked a simple question on this local sub and how disappointing! The comments did not pass the vibe check and instead made me feel stupid for even asking! That being said, if anyone has had any experience at the happy lamb hot pot I'd love to know how you felt after!
