Chewing Gum?

I am SUCH an idiot. I'm usually so careful, but for some reason I just accepted an offer of some gum from a co-worker and popped it on my mouth (I don't even like gum, but my breath felt wonky)

She's gone now, so I can't ask the brand. It was white, kind of chiclet shaped, maybe 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch and she took it from a dark blue blister pack that (maybe?) came from a dark blue or black box.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm so worried and feel unbelievably careless.

Thanks.

I don't think gum has gluten so you are likely safe.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—

      @GlorietaKaro, your respiratory reactions to gluten make me wonder if there might also be an allergic (anaphylaxis) component at work here.

      Am I nuts?

      Thanks to both of you for your responses! Sadly, even after several years of very strict gluten avoidance, I remember the symptoms well enough that I am too frightened to risk a gluten challenge— heartbeat and breathing problems are scary— Scott, thank you for the specific information— I will call around in the new year to see if I can find anyone.

In the meantime, I will carry on has I have been— it’s working! Thanks also for the validation— sometimes I just feel crushed by disbelief. Not enough to make me eat gluten though—
