Similac 1969/70

Hey, I was born in 1969 and was fed Similac.  I’m trying to determine if it had gluten in it at all, but I am finding nothing about it.  Certainly, they did not know about not feeding gluten for the first 6 months then but I am wondering if that 1969/70 recipe inclulded any gluten ingredients.  It’s really hard to find that info online after searching.  I’m trying to find out what may have triggered the celiac just for my own knowledge.  I did also have mononucleosis and a very stressful parental divorce and I guess those things could have caused or contributed too.   Would love to hear from anyone who might have resources for the Similac recipe, though, even if it’s just leads to pursue.  Thanks, guys!

Hi Ellie, I don't know about the similac but the celiac was caused by your genes. What triggered the celiac could have been the stress of the divorce, the mono could have triggered it or a physical or emotional stress you may have forgotten about.  Consuming gluten doesn't cause celiac a severe stressor usually triggers it in those that have the genetic propensitiy.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
