I Did It Again

I got rid of the cooked breakfasts and cc. Then I eat trail mix now got the pain and look on the pack to see it is made in a plant which uses the same machinery for gluten foods. I then look at the trail mix I usually eat and see it is not safe either.

I live on trail mix when I am working. The birds in my garden and squirrels are now very happy but I am so annoyed. I am sick of this thing and literally.

Just when I think I have things sorted I find another area. My family are getting sick of me complaining. I jelously gaurd my gluten-free foods.

I was in denial and now I am angry.

Well thank you all for listening to my rant. If you see any overweight squirrels in ontario it was me.

That last line made me laugh! I know how hard it is and how frustrated you get by accidental glutenings. I can't even beging to tell you how many times I've picked up something, and even though it looks safe I'm not sure so I just won't even try it. Or my personal favorite...finding a gluten-free product that you want to try...spend a ton of money on it and its GROSS!!!! Even worse, unless you have this, its really hard to comprehend just how oppressive it can be sometimes. Let it out here, I think its safe to say we all get it. By the way, have you tried to make your own trail mix?

I make my own trail mix. I am allergic to tree nuts, and all of the pre-packaged mixes are full of them. It is very easy to make your own using what you like in it. Any time you need to rant, come here and let loose. Just being able to tell it to someone that fully understands helps with the emotional side.

As for the fat squirrels in Ontario, I think they have been mailing the excess trail mix to Kansas. The squirrels here are looking mighty chubby! Or as my cats will say, yummy juicy!

I haven't tried it yet, but Enjoy Life has recently come out with a gluten-free trail mix. The nice thing about Enjoy Life is that their stuff is also free of other common allergens: soy, dairy, nuts, etc., and they are produced in a strictly gluten-free environment. It looks yummy, and you can buy it on their website (I haven't seen it in a store yet, but I don't have many health food stores near me.).

Good luck!

Fat squirrels in Guelph...my daughter is going to Vet school there--I'll tell her to keep a look out for them ;)

Seriously, I hear you. You may want to look into making your own gluten-free trail mix. L.A.

I understand!!! I was diagnosed just a bit before you and was getting along pretty good food wise when with company here I may have eaten 3 foods that may be suspect for my 2 day 'D'. Suppose I will just stay away from all 3 until i feel up to testing them. Glad you know what food is the culprit, you are ahead of the game. I eat individual nuts on a 4 day rotation diet, rotating etc foods so I won't get allergic to anymore foods. It takes planning and work to do it but think it pays off for me.

Also I was told by my Dr. not to eat commercial dried fruits so in the fall i dried some fuits in a home dryer.

Being celiac is not an easy way of life but I have found it pays off to be careful ( have learned the hard way!!! :unsure: Have you tried the alternative grains such as quinoa, millet, cornmeal and grits + amaranth? Cooked and hot with your oil of the day they are good substitutes. Wish you well in your search for better health. evie

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
