Hi, i recently worked at a cafe/ cake shop, which which was not a gluten free environment at all. i dont know why but i assumed i wouldnt get any side effects, if i didnt eat the food. anyway..just working around the food made me break out into all kinds of reactions, inclding rashes, swelling, nausea migranes, stomach pains.. the whole shabang.. like id just eaten some massive gluten packed meal.. i was wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation, or even been able to handle working in such an envirnment.. the only good thing about this is that im not tempted by gluten cakes at all.. every time i smell a cake now, it makes me feel like throwing up.

Yes. I break-out horrible if gluten comes contact with my skin. I felt horrible at the smell of it too. I went into a bread store and it nearly made me sick. I absolutely will not handle gluten unless I have pair of gloves on and if I really need to handle it. The only I time I remember doing so was for an art project. Sorry for the horrible experience there, it sucks. :(

That's the one reason I don't work in a restaurant (my roommate does and her tips are incredible).

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Thanks for this Wends and appreciate your insights! I'm not sure what you mean by "Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test." ? I had a look at Dr Bernstein's work and we've definitely noticed that on lower carb days her blood glucose levels are much easier to manage. Our nutritionist advised against a low carb diet for toddlers as they said young children, unlike adults, rely on carbs for their growth and development. What's your view on this? Regarding malabsorption - it's so hard to know what's "normal". My daughter's poos have always been on the softer side as she's breastfed and we eat very healthily. I've booked an appointment with our GP and will take some photos!

      Thank you all for your kind wishes, it means so much. The information you've all shared has been so useful. We have a great diabetes team and trust the consultants decision to wait a few months to repeat the blood test. We also don't want to put her through any more tests than she needs as it's so tough on her and us! It feels unbearable waiting when she has some unexplained symptoms and as her mum I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep her healthy. That's interesting re: iron levels. I hadn't thought about that but I'm pretty sure this would've been checked as she was in hospital with DKA and they did lots of tests. I have requested a copy of her results.

      Pepsid alternative

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.
