Helping A Fellow gluten-free Person Out

Hey guys,

Just wanted to post a "good news" story.

I was in Chicago this past weekend, which is just about one of the best places for Celiacs. I was at a festival all weekend, and brought my own gluten-free beer stash (which I got at the slightly sketchy liquor store down the street. they had a better selection last year, but it did the trick). By Sunday, I had caught the "BBQ flu" as we're calling it and could definitely not handle a beer.

 

Anyway, I was introduced to a friend's wife, who was mentioning that she had trouble finding things to eat sometimes and turned out she also had Celiac! After us chatting about that for a bit, I remembered: "Do you want a beer?" I asked. The look of pure joy on her face was priceless. Made me feel better just to make her happy.

 

Has anyone else had one of those moments, when you find out there's a fellow gluten sufferer and have something to share with them, or vice versa.

 

In any case, I thought I'd mention it, cause it was a very nice moment. Next year at this thing we'll be gluten-free beer-ing it up together!

 

Cheers!

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
