Prawns?

[Susansmum]

Hi,

I am trying to work out what I have had a reaction to. For lunch today I had a mixed salad (lettuce, carrot, purple cabbage) with prawns (from the deli) and grape tomatoes and thousand island dressing (Kraft which according to their website is gluten free) and I feel that I have had a reaction to it. Could it be the prawns?

Or maybe it's the fact that I have only been gluten-free since Sunday (Had a lapse over the weekend), and stuff is still going through my system?

Most people take awhile to feel 100% better....from days and weeks, to months and years, depending on damage and other factors. I remember when I went gluten-free, I would still get sick from very basic foods (gluten-free) and this went on for a few months until I was completely healed. For me, it was somewhat hard to tell in the beginning if I was "glutened" or still healing.

Don't know anything about the prawns though...?

Hope you are feeling better!

It does take a while to be feeling better and accidental injestion is common in the early months. Also our family reacts strongly to distilled vinigars, many companies consider them to be gluten-free, so they don't mention it on labels as grain in origin. It will just say distilled vinigar. I always make sure it is distilled from corn before I consume. I know folks will disagree with me but I also would not touch anything from a deli, too much of a chance of crosscontamination.
