Stacy hated pancake Sunday

No I didn't eat it. And I do wash my hands about 50+ times a day...I am so sick of washing my hands...

Recent additions to kitchen right before symptoms...

Blue Diamond Almond Nut-thins

Nutella

Smucker's Apricot fruit spread

Publix lightly salted rice cakes
all three of these are gluten free although Publix has their little disclaimer that they can't guarantee it....

and new dog food Solid Gold beef and barley dry(the dogs were gluten free before they refused to eat the last brand)....I scoop it out with a large plastic cup and usually wash my hands right after I add the canned food for mix-ins...today I scooped and the kids added the canned food...dogs and kids blocked the sink and I think I forgot to get around to washing my hands. I also boiled regular pasta for the kids..and I have noticed that I have little mini rages/anxiety attacks when cooking pasta that go away shortly after I leave the kitchen...it makes no sense to react from steam...I even hold my breath...but I still react 99% of the time...

Reactions are getting more severe as I go on...I really need to take the whole house gluten free...lots of resistance.

I had a dream that I walked into Subway..ordered a meatball sub and ate it.


I haven't decided if it is a little sad that this has become my new bad dream...it has replaced the 'not knowing my work schedule' dreams which are funny since I am a SAHM and have been home for 8 years.

I don't miss gluten food....I rarely ever feel hungry...which is a problem because I need to lose a lot of weight and my body is staying in starvation mode cause I forget to feed it ...I have been fighting with the same 10 pounds for 3 months now..I was hoping to be down 20-30 by now.

I walked into a restaurant at Epcot that was supposedly gluten friendly and I saw bread all over the counters...freaked out and walked out and went home to eat...so I guess I suffer from a fear of bread lol.

I had a cheese burger with a gluten free roll at Pecos Bill's counter service restaurant at Walt Disney World back in Feb and had a very bad gluten reaction within 20 minutes...stomach pain, itching, rash, paranoia, anxiety, muscle pain, etc....I attributed it to a possible cross contamination on the grill since I had no issue with the Ener-g tapioca dinner rolls during the week at various other Disney restaurants. On July 4th we went to Liberty Inn at Epcot and I ordered the double cheese burger with no bun....the cashier remembered me from months ago ordering a gluten free brownie(and the act of congress that followed) and offered the gluten-free bun...so my husband orders it with the gluten-free bun despite my objections and I had another gluten reaction..not as bad as Feb...but enough where my husband and kids have been keeping their distance ever since to avoid my foul mood.

So it has to be either the tapioca hamburger bun or the hamburger patty(I had gluten-free fries in Feb and prepackaged grapes this past weekend.) I verified the brand of rolls with Disney special diets department and they confirmed Ener-G Tapioca hamburger rolls at both restaurants during both visits...I have read the ingredient lists and I have no idea what could be causing the gluten-like reactions unless I am reacting to the yeast...which has always made the gluten reactions much worse.

Anybody else still have bad reactions to the gluten-free bread products and what causes it so I know to avoid it in other things....thanks in advance.
