I can't believe it! Today, I went down to Maggie Moo's and filled out an application. Filled it out, got asked a few question and WHAM! I got hired! My orientation is this Tuesday 4-6 and training is Wednesday 4-9 and then the store opens Thursday! God really blessed me today!

I'm glad I get to work at an ice cream palor. I know there's still a lot of gluten around, but, it beats working where it's greasy and stuff. Those Wilton cake decoration class paid off!

Aww that's so awesome!! That's going to be fun!

I wish I could get a job, but being allergic to gluten, dairy, eggs and sensitive to oils...I dont know how getting a job would work for me :( LoL I would starve!

That's so awesome though. Do you think you'll be able to actually eat some of what you're selling? LoL. Even if you can't, that sounds like a fun job!

Hey that's awesome! Congrats!

This summer I'm gonna be working in the little health food store where I get my gluten free food from. I probably won't get paid that much but the owners of the store really want me to work there so I can help them with their celiac customers, since neither of the owners is actually celiac.

Good for you! A health food store would be an ideal place to work :lol: But I love Ice Cream too, Ash, is that ice cream gluten free?

Thanks guys! I'm so excited.

Run_4_Jesus: I'm glad you're gonna get to work at the health store! That's probably the safest place for Celiacs like us to work.

Kassie: That's great! I'm hoping it'll be the same for me once I start working there.

Peacenlove_girl17: I hate that your allergies are preventing you from getting a job. I have a friend that has a lot of those allergies too. Perhaps maybe you can get a job at non-food store?

For all who asked about the ice cream: I believe all the ice creams are gluten-free expect for the 'Better Batter' and 'Chocolate Better Batter.' Here's the link for the Allergens in their ice cream, the list is at the bottom of the page. They also have shakes. Plus, they have those gluteny cakes and malts too...

Annatto is a coloring used in food and other products. It is derived from the seed pod of a tree. It is the color most commonly used to make cheese cheddar yellow (its natural color is white). It is common in other cheeses as well. It is gluten-free.

Thanks so much for the info, Peter! You made my day :) ---I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to eat any of the ice cream!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By EndlessSummer · Posted

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
