Possible To Be Glutened?

Is it possible I got glutened from something like this? I was at Christmas dinners/parties and I brought my own gluten-free foods/desserts. However, other people were of course eating gluten-filled crackers, cookies, etc. I had someone toss me a mandarin orange and then I peeled it and ate it without washing my hands or anything. People were also passing around cards and gifts and I was eating at the same time as handling them. Is it possible to be cross-contaminated from things like that, or am I just being obsessive? I didn't feel as good the next few days, very irritable, anxious, etc.

I would think it IS possible. The one time I got glutened it was from someone eating cookies and then playing my guitar. Later when I played my guitar and then ate without washing my hands first, I got hit.

 

Now no matter WHAT, I wash my hands before putting anything in my mouth. (And no cookies or other gluten foods are allowed in my shop.)

 

Hope you're feelong better soon.

Thanks for the reply. I am feeling better now. Yes I guess I need to wash my hands before everything haha. My house is gluten-free so it's not such an issue there, but things get trickier away from home!

I found I was getting glutened when I ate at shared computers at work. It forced me to take a break to actually eat lunch.

      Forum Rules

      By Joel K · Posted

      Greetings! I'd like to post a request for interest in an event I'd like to set up.  But before I do, I'm wondering what the rules for posting in the forum are.  Is there somewhere on this site where the rules for posting in the forum or in meetup groups are located? Thanks in advance.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      There is no minimum time since diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease to be eligible for this research. The research is a feasibility study for people with refractory coeliac disease since there is currently no psychologically based intervention tailored for refractory coeliac. The aim of this research is to provide therapeutic support that is not routinely offered at gastroenterology clinics thus encourages people to maintain wellbeing in consideration of having symptoms despite a gluten free diet. Hope you gain further clarity and some relief following your endoscopy!

      Is there a minimum time since diagnosis of refractory celiac disease?  I really hope I’m not eligible for your study, but looking for it is one reason my gastroenterologist suggested an endoscopy. I’m having it later this month, due to still having GI symptoms on a strict gluten free diet.
