I baken brownies last night for a funeral luncheon that our church had. I used a regular mix, got a little bit of the batter on my hands, and my hands itch all day. And I feel like a witch with a capital B! Is that a normal symptom of maybe breating or touching gluten? I feel sorry for my co-worker today, I've just been plain mean today.

It probably was the batter. I would make the gluten free pantry's truffle brownies next time. They are so much better then regular brownies. The only thing is freeze them for about a half hour, then cut and put on the plate. They are much easier to cut when partialy frozen. My gluten eating husband would kill for these.

I do not bake gluten free items when I am not eating the items. I was making these for a luncheon and I was not going to be there to eat. I can't afford to make gluten free things for events that I am not at, it is just too costly. I guess I will just tell them I can't bake anymore.

If it's something you really want to do, you could wear plastic gloves and even consider a dust mask so you don't inhale any flour and swallow. I used a mask recently when we did some drywall work in our bedroom--worked very well :)

You may have inhaled a bit of the flour, and that's why you had the mood symptom.

Or it could be the weather. If you live in a colder part of the country like I do, that is. Now that heat is running, my skin is getting dry and itchy. I've found that using a little moisturizer after I shower does a good job of cutting down on both the dry skin and the itchy. As a guy I balked at the idea of moisturizer, but by golly it beats itching!

Just inhaling flour can make me witchy, I suspect you are correct that you can't bake them treats with gluten in them anymore. :(

I wonder if there are any easy, inexpensive gluten free treats to be made.

Would it be acceptable to buy something from a bakery and take it to the funeral? Of course you wouldn't have to go into a bakery you could get something from the grocery store.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
