Well, I went to my husbands family for Christmas dinner and they made a meal that had barley in it. We didn’t know until after I had finished it so I ate a lot :( anyone has gone through this and has a positive thing to say? I am extremely terrified and worried I really don’t want to miss this baby it is our rainbow baby. I can’t even begin to explain how upset we are. We checked multiple times :( . Please help .

Welcome to the forum, Erika.ON!

Not sure what you are referring to when you say "we checked multiple times". The baby or the in laws' food?

"anyone has gone through this and has a positive thing to say?" Are you looking for commentary on the effect this "glutening experience" may have had on the baby you are carrying or how to handle the the situation with our in laws?

Hi, I meant with them and then food to make sure it was gluten-free. And they only realized it wasn’t three hours after I had eaten it :( .

Consider creating an information sheet and giving it to them. Just sounds like they need a little education and coaching as to what gluten is and where it is found. You might also check with the cook beforehand when family gathering plans are being made to go over the menu with him/her and ingredient lists. It needs to be handled graciously so that they don't put up walls.

Honest mistakes are sometimes made. At least your in laws are making an effort to accommodate your dietary needs it sounds like. They just need help in understanding the nuances of preparing gluten free food. Your experience highlights one of the more challenging aspects of celiac disease and that is the dangers of eating outside your own home where you don't have total control of food preparation. We all face this.

Barley is 8% gluten. Wheat is 85% gluten. With luck you may not be activated yet against the gluten in barley. Or your natural stomach acid neutralized the small amount and your vitamin D is high enough to dampen the response of the Celiac genes.

Quote

Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats and are collectively referred to as “gluten.”  ...The most immunodominant T-cell epitope is from α gliadin, although T-cell cross-reactivity against gluten-derived, secalin-derived, and hordein-derived peptides have been confirmed...The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, coeliac disease. What is gluten?

Oh thank you so much!! Yes I haven’t felt sick thank goodness 🙏🏻. And I ate a smaller amount than I thought too because it was only present on one of the dishes . Thank you for that info I didn’t know it and really appreciate it .

I’m sorry this happened! I’ve heard a lot of stories about pregnant women who didn’t know they had celiac and ate gluten the whole time and the baby was fine. The baby is protected inside it’s little sac so good chance everything is okay :)

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
