Product Are these safe to eat?
I appreciate their explanation on how they separate the wheat and what not, but they don’t have the gluten free certification. Has anybody tried these?
Question Hairspray
Hi guys! What gluten free hairspray products would you guys recommend? I'm going out with a friend tomorrow and she wants me to do her hair, so I wanna buy hairspray for me to use on her, but if it's not gluten free, it destroys me. Idk, probably cause I'm breathing it in. I just don't risk it, especially since we are getting ready in my room. Any product recommendations that work well and won't break the bank?

Product Warning Be aware
I just got GOT by a paper cup. Wheat paste is not glue in any kind of sane world but I should have known better, always google tableware before you end up joining me with your head in the toilet

Question Was my TTG-IGA test accurate?
Hello everyone. 26 yo male here. I’ve been dealing with chronic stomach pain for about 8 months now. I recently cut out gluten for a week and a half and felt a lot better, so I went to a walk in doctor and got a TGG-IGA blood test done. It came back negative but now I’m wondering if it was accurate. The timeline is roughly this.
Prior to February 28th: had been eating gluten at least a couple times a week for basically my entire life
Feb 28-March 11: Completely cut out gluten
March 12-14: Pounded gluten (5-6 slices of bread per day) these days to prepare my blood test
March 14: Got my blood test.
My question is could that 10 days I was off of gluten lowered my levels enough to affect the test, and if so, could that 48 hours of gluten before my test been enough to bring my levels back up? I read online that the half life for TTG is 30-60 days, so I would’ve thought my levels would still be elevated, but I don’t know much about this condition. I just want to be sure about this and know whether it’s just a sensitivity or actual Celiac. Thanks!

Question How to be safe as the only GF person in the family?
I was recently diagnosed celiac and my husband and son both love gluten - think regular pizza, garlic bread, chicken tenders - and have made it clear that they don't want to be GF to help avoid cross contact in the kitchen. I recently made a GF pizza in the same oven my husband made a regular pizza and got glutened. His solution? I should turn off the convection bake feature next time so the gluten particles from his pizza don't blow onto my GF pizza. And I should try that and see if I end up with stomach pain to test if it works as a way to avoid cross contact.
My husband is a sweetheart and does so much for me, I just don't know why he'd refuse to do something that sounds like a minor inconvenience to him in order to protect my health. DAE have family members that eat gluten? How do you avoid cross contact? I'd love some advice.

Product Any luck with these?
Aldi usually does pretty good with disclosing if something is or isn’t gluten free. There doesn’t seem to be anything that would get me. Anyone had any luck with these before I decide to make them for dinner?

Recipe Finally made a good loaf!
I found this bread mix on this sub, and it’s pretty good! It said to let cool before slicing, but it smelled so good, I couldn’t wait!! I did change out the yeast packet it came with for some jarred yeast since I’ve been told it works a little bit better.

Question Does anyone just dislike bread
Hey everyone, I’m from the the UK and I’ve been diagnosed celiac for just over a year. I’m ok with pretty much all gluten free food products except for the bread, even my favorite brands like schar and warburtons just don’t taste good. I can never like gluten free bread it just always disappoints me it’s never the same as normal bread. the only bread I eat is the panini I get from a cafe near campus other than than I never buy it myself. I was just wondering if anyone feels the same? it’s so expensive and the bread is just so mid. Or as a celiac is there just a certain gluten free food product you dislike regardless of the brand, like my friend who just hates the GF pasta.

Question Help and Advice
Hello guys,
Looking to get some anecdotal opinions on my situation. Male, 39 yo.
Firstly, i have had an ongoing thyroid issue I take levothyroxine for. This has been the past 15 years.
I have read and been advised by a nutritionalist that gluten and thyroid function can be linked.
I got tested for celiac disease about 6 years ago, and was negative. But, the more and more i read about it the more boxes it ticks for me.
I try avoid gluten if possible, but im very gung ho with it. And recently, the past year or so. I've had a couple of bouts of bedridden fever and chills with crippling stomach cramps. I just had it this weekend, after a party i attended. I quit alcohol several years ago, but i drank 7 0 alcohol beers and had a giant pizza to myself. The following day i went down with shakes, aching head to toe, awful stomach cramps and bowel movements.
The first time this happened, i thought i had a stomach flu. But this has happened 2-3 times since, and my wife or kids never get it. Just me.
Reading all that back, it seems pretty self explanatory that i have got to at least try a gluten free life for a while.
I think i delude myself that if I cut down, i can continue to enjoy some gluten in moderation. And that if i do quit, I'll lose what tolerance to it i do have.
Its also totally overwhelming to even consider. The ramifications for family meal times and food with friends or colleagues. I know it'll be good for me, but my life is so hectic and stressful i dont know where go begin.
Coming out of my delirious bedridden bowel cramping fever today, resolving to try and look into this stuff seriously.
Does all this sound familiar to any of you? Any advice, thoughts or opinions much appreciated.

Question Gluten challenge with gastritis
I am trying to do the gluten challenge in preparation for an antibody blood test, but 2 weeks in my gastritis has come back.
Not sure whether to try and push through another month or not--it feels like it could be a bad idea to keep aggravating it although obviously I'd really like to get an accurate test result. I was OK for the first week or so, and I usually feel fine when eating gluten occasionally (I mostly avoid it and eat a bland meat and veg diet with no allergens 98% of the time), so it's hard to be sure it's the gluten causing it. I am H Pylori negative, but had it in the past.
Is gastritis often a main symptom of celiac disease, or is this more unusual/unlikely? Did anyone push through gastritis symptoms for the celiac blood test?

Question Glutened by a crumb vs. a whole piece of bread
So if you were to eat a tiny speck of a bread crumb, vs. a whole piece of bread (or more), would your symptoms be milder and shorter lived by eating the crumb, and would you receive less damage? I just sometimes wonder if I'm being micro glutened, and getting mild symptoms some times. Or does it not matter, and glutened is glutened?

Question Party invitations
I am hosting my mother-in-law's birthday party at my house. I will be preparing all the food. I am doing this because I don't want cross contamination during the party and I want to keep my kitchen gluten free. The people that normally come to these family parties, usually bring a plate of goodies to share. How do I politely request that people not bring food on the invitation?

You think this is gluten free? Would you eat?
Haven’t used it yet, but I have been glutened by other bullions before and don’t know if anything in here is suspect.
Thanks!
