Like I said last week, I've been feeling really well. I haven't had the runs in weeks and weeks. It's been so long since my stomach felt bad that the memory of it is fading...if you know what I mean.

I start to think...hmmm...there's nothing wrong with me....I feel great......and so forth...

So last night I'm sitting around...you know just wanting something...not really sure what, just know I'm not satisfied.

My daughter just graduated from college, and some of our friends were kind enough to bake her a big Chocolate Cake.

In addition to that we still have some of those Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies around.

I finally couldn't stand it any longer and announced I was going to eat some cookies. My daughter followed me in to the kitchen saying "daddy are you sure you want to make your self sick?"

I had one of those Thin Mint Cookies in my mouth....and THEN had reservations and spit it out.

But I wanted it, I wanted it bad. It's like I need a shock collar to zap me every time I start thinking about cookies or cake....

Well i guess it is good u spit it out lol.

Im hoping you go home today and throw away the rest of the thin mints or have a family member eat them all, so you are no longer tempted by them.

I for one got gltuened last night and i have no idea from what, but im feeling terrible.

I sometimes wonder if it is best to get glutened from eating something really good, or getting glutened and having no idea what caused it lol

You do have a shock collar. It just doesn't work until several hour later and it's attached to your intestine :ph34r:

Jerry,

You have a shock collar, it is called aversion therapy. Just think about how sick you will be if you eat the gluten poison.

You might also consider keeping gluten free treats in the house such as ice cream, popcorn or gluten free candy. You can grab this instead of the cookies or cake.

It will get easier to resist temptation the longer you are gluten free.

It sounds like you had an intervention from your daughter, Jerry! ;)

My children are very aware and sensitive to my problem, even though I've only been gluten free since November. But they remember me getting sick. Two weeks ago I accidentally glutened myself by serving them pizza, then forgetting to wash the flour off my hands before I ate. My 10 year old daughter unfortunately walked in on me while I was emptying my stomach, couldn't keep dinner down. And her reaction was, Oh no, Mom, did you have wheat?

It sounds like your daughter is on the ball, that's a blessing...!

No kidding! I mean, if I'm going to get sick, an damage my insides, at least let me know I'm going to be sick. I'm ordering a real pizza and getting a 6-pack of beer. Getting sick because of some ingredient I didn't even know about just sucks.

Your shock collar is a delayed reaction ... it's the bathroom run.

I eventually got sick of getting sick off gluten ... I'm finally starting to think you may be reaching that point! :lol:

Jerryk, man you slay me! I like that you retain your sense of humor with all this...so I am a junk food junkie! It's the hardest part for me living gluten-free...I found 2 cake mixes that are sooo yummy no one will ever know they're gluten-free.

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free Chocolate Cake mix & also their Brownie mix and Namaste cake mixes. Mom made me a Namaste for my 35th bday and my entire family had rude comments (I;m talking Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Siblings) and that they wouldn;t eat it, they wanted store bought...I said Good, cause I plan on eating the whole thing. Yeah, turns out they ate my cake & never touched the store bought! I think both have cookie mixes too, I just haven't tried them yet.

I've tried Pamela's stuff and am not impressed (but i am a junkie!) I'll get their biscotti if I'm travelling but that's about it.

OH OH & Kinnickanic (or whatever) has the BEST chocolate covered doughnuts!!!

Your post reminds me of a quote from the vice principle of my high school. Something along the lines of "That's not really a need, that's a want, even though you think it's a need." (It was in relation to getting the classes we wanted/needed, but really, applies to everything.)

Actually, the best cookie I ever had was from the Whole Foods Gluten-Free Bakehouse in the freezer section. I used to BE a

Girl Scout, ok? If anyone knows about those bloody cookies, it's me. The Whole Foods gluten-free chocolate chip cookie is FAR better

than any girl scout cookie I ever had! And the peanut butter cookies are a close second. I HIGHLY recommend them for

people suffering cookie monster syndrome.

You need to plan for these things. Have your own "treats" ready when everyone else is indulging.

Dear JerryK,

AAAAHHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!! :o You were doing so well! WTH did you do that for? Bad Jerry!

Bad! Where is that darn newspaper to smack you on the nose with?! I have programmed by brain to see anything with gluten (even my beloved Cheez-Its) as rat poison. Now, I pretty much overlook them, like they are not even there.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
