Would anyone have an interest in starting/joining a discussion about following a gluten free diet. What has worked or not worked and how it has helped or not helped. We can learn from one another.
I've followed a gluten free diet for years. Not diagnosed as celiac, but have the symptoms including the shellfish allergic reaction in skin rashes, the intestinal distress, adhesive reactions. It is time for all this to stop. Maybe I missed something and need other help? Perhaps someone else has exhibited similar signs?
I ended up getting a referral to a nutritionist from my GI doctor and that has really helped. Even after our first meeting when I was in really bad shape, I found useful information and hope. I would recommend asking your doctor for a referral. I was clueless, thinking all I had to avoid was wheat products.
I am so glad that you brought up the matter of an appointment with a dietician, @guthealth. I have seen a dietician several times for various GI problems and most recently for a pre-diabetes situation. They are well trained in various health problems and know food and nutrition and can teach about the subject. I would encourage everyone in this group to ask about a referral to a dietician. It can make a world of difference to have that kind of support!
There are many website and Pinterest posts omline to help with a GF diet. One of my favorites is y Nicole Hunn called Gluten Free on a Shoestring. She has been doing this for years and has many tried and true recipes. Otherwise, most meats are gluten free as are most fruits and vegetables.

Been on a GF diet since 12/07/00. 18 years now. Gluten free diets do NOT address the other issues, like adhesive sensitivities. Those ECG patches your MD uses have a gluten based adhesive on them. Those break me out and cause a long lasting rash. Had a prescription for cortisone that caused the exact same reaction. Turns out the filler has shellfish in it and so...no matter what is done it is easy to get exposed.
Walked into a donut shop once to get donuts for work and had a terrible allergic rhinitis attack from the wheat flour in the air.
For my birthday at work the work leader went to the store and got vanilla ice cream and root beer so we had root beer floats instead of cake.
AND I followed Nicole Hunn for a while and did not see any improvement.
I just survive on what I KNOW is gluten free and do well, however it is limited by the imagination of not only myself, but also by those in restaurant kitchens.

Wow, sounds like you've had a tough time of it. Unfortunately there is no "fix" thst works for everyone. I merely offered Nicole as a possible suggestion. Sounds like you've figured out what works for you.

2 ReactionsIf one asks for a Gluten Free Menu at Applebees, you might be shocked at the few foods you CAN eat. The beef has problems.
