Help ! My Daughter Is Now Working At Carraba's !

Last Saturday nite, my daughter brought home Bruschetta, Goat cheese and marinara sauce for herself, but I ate it. I didn't have any cramping, so, I thought I had gotten away with it. Sunday nite, she brought me some fresh bread with EVOO and spices. So, like a dummy, I ate that too.

On the bright side, at least now that I have been gluten / etc. free for 6 - 8 months, I can identify when I have been glutened / caseined ? The brain fog, mania, insomnia, constipation, gas, and bloating came back. And I'm back to eating bland foods until this calms down.

I can tell this is NOT going to be easy. I feel like a vulture waiting to pounce when my daughter gets off work and walks in the door with her Carraba's bag.

I just wanted to let you all know that I have a whole new respect for any of you trying to maintain this diet while being tempted by delicious mouth watering foods that you can't eat.

Bless you all ... Sincerely ... Marcia

My mother and I discussed the other night how sensitive I am to small particles of gluten.

It is like being an alcoholic, when an alcoholic or drug addict goes off of the drugs or booze for any length of time. If they use again it effects them harder than before and it becomes more difficult for them to quit because they are addicted. Like things people are allergic to you either crave them or hate them.

We are like gluten addicts some of us will gobble them up if we have not immediate ill effects but if you are like me then, you would never want to touch the stuff. I am so sick on minute amounts if I ate bigger things with gluten, I don't even want to imagine what I would go through.

Does your daughter Know about your Celiac disease??? Why would she even tempt you with all the food? Maybe you could ask her to bring home some of the things you're able to eat - if she brings anything home at all. They have a gluten-free menu there.

It's easier to stay on the diet if you're not tempted by the food in your own home. I can see how you'd be tempted if you Went to Carrabbas to eat....but you shouldn't have to deal with that temptation at home like that. If it gets serious enough - you should ask her to not bring the food home when you're there.

Their chicken bryan is fabulous! So is the Mama whatever chicken soup. Maybe she could bring some of those things home for you instead of bread. They are both gluten free and yummy!

They have a gluten-free menu. If you really need to eat her food with her maybe she should bring some those items instead.

It was really my fault. I thought I could handle it. I was doing so well. But, what I didn't realize is that it was only becuase I wasn't being tempted by anything REALLY good.

Nini - good luck with your husband's job ... that is going to be hard too.

My computer keeps logging me off, so I may be done for the night.

Thanks for your replies ... marcia

I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
