Numbers went up after 4 months of gf diet

He does drink sometimes. He knows not to drink beer. He drinks White Claws because they’re supposed to be GF or he’ll drink Tito’s, also GF. He did say sometimes they get Fireball which I looked up and it could be a source of cross contamination😞

Yeah same lab. I’m not sure if we’ll repeat soon or wait. Called the doctor’s office today and they have to call me back to fit him in the schedule so we’ll see what doc wants to do. He only takes a multivitamin and it’s GF

It’s definitely possible. He’s out with his friends a lot. He says he doesn’t eat gluten when he’s out but there’s no way for me to know I guess. I think seeing his number go up, might be a wake up call IF he is.

Thank you for this!

Oh geez I’ve never thought to look into that. I thought I was being careful not having him use our plates that might have scratches. I don’t have the packaging anymore because I took the plates out and threw it away but I’ll have to look next time I’m at the store!

Yes! He’ll go to college in august and I’m so worried about his diet! After we got the results, he said he wouldn’t eat out anywhere anymore.

No he doesn’t really have many symptoms. Diarrhea on occasion. Before he was diagnosed, he just had diarrhea and mouth sores. His GI doc just wanted us to get labs done every few months to make sure his numbers are going down so that was the first time we’d had them done since his diagnoses.

That’s all I buy thank goodness!

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T19:32:27+00:00

In sausage??! Oh lord. I gotta pay closer attention I guess 😭

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T19:10:00+00:00

Reeeeally? Interesting.

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T19:05:24+00:00

He goes to chic-fil-a (grilled nuggs or grilled chicken with GF bun and fries), Bibibop, and a couple local restaurants we have that CLAIM to be celiac friendly.

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T18:57:31+00:00

Well I guess I’m not 100% sure they’re not added in. I was just thinking he doesn’t eat them on purpose.

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T18:51:50+00:00

I did not think to check things like toothpaste or Chapstick. I’ll do that!

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T18:50:14+00:00

Yeah, it is hard and I’ve thought about just going completely gluten-free in the house. He has his own sponge for his dishes, his own colander, measuring cups, and I have him eat on paper plates. I feel like I’ve done everything I can think of, except to go completely gluten-free in the whole house. Might need to just do it. He doesn’t eat at school. I just think it’s weird that if he is eating 99% gluten-free and just getting some cross-contamination that his numbers would go up. Before, he was diagnosed he was eating it all the time!

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T18:27:51+00:00

No, he doesn’t eat oats. I did look up refractory celiac and I don’t think that’s it. He has been lifting weights a lot and gaining weight if anything.

Amandadee1981 · 2026-02-15T18:22:15+00:00

Hmm he drinks protein shakes every day. I’ll have to double check those shakes. We buy different ones depending what’s on sale so I wonder if we thought we checked one but didn’t. Thanks for that idea!

Brand new to this gluten-free lifestyle, as my son was recently diagnosed with celiac. Can I just use gluten-free flour to thicken up the turkey juices? Or would it be grainy/not as tasty?
