Cross-contamination

My husband thought of this as an alternative to the phrase cross contamination.

Second-hand gluten.

I like it. Because of how much people know about second-hand smoke, the seriousness about cross contamination is still intact. But then it also helps because it doesn't sound quite so off the wall when you're explaining it to someone for the first time.

What do you guys think?

I like it.

It brings it into a whole new light. Cross contamination kind of sounds like we are paranoid. Second-hand does sound serious. Look how people get hyper over the smoking thing. I really like it!!!!

A brilliant idea, I love it!

But for those of us that are keyboard challenged, CC is so much easier to type than second hand gluten B)

j,

Good point. But that's easy enough to fix, for the administrator. I've often wondered why CC isn't flagged the same as g f.

I like it too. Could always put SH for second hand!

Ok then it's settled...

We'll go with SHG instead of CC, as long as we don't confuse SHG with MSG which everyone knows was created by the CIA and FBI to give us all IBS and thus take over the USA after they discarded the KGB, who shot JFK B)

haha that made me laugh. i like it though. second-hand gluten...it has an impressive ring to it. plus, it always confused my husband when i said CC...b/c he's a world of warcraft player, and in the game, CC means crowd-control :P

i am gonna start using SHG from now on!

...And I like the new phrase too. It does sound more like something those "gluten-mongers" can grasp.

As he should be. Tell him we'll make him an honorary Celiac, but we'll look the other way if he wants to cheat on the diet B)

I like it. It makes it sound more like the person preparing the food wasn't clean enough and left all that nasty old pre-used, second hand gluten all over the food. It's no longer me being paranoid, it's them being unsanitary.

Now all we have to do is get restaurants to have Glutening and Non-Glutening sections. If we do this right, eventually people will have to go outside to eat gluten. :D

Or am I getting carried away? :P

Carried away not at all. Not many would sit in a restaurant with someone spraying insecticide in the next booth, not much difference in my opinion.

      @Wheatwacked, all milk, whether from grass fed cows or grain fed cows contains casein. It makes up about 80% of the total protein in cow's milk. Do you need to elaborate on this statement?

      Diagnosed Marsh stage 3C in January 2026

      Thank you @knitty kitty. I was reading some of your other posts and decided to add your preferred B-complex to my mix of vitamins. I started taking this on 2/17 and plan to continue with them until my next blood draw in roughly 5 months. Life Extension BioActive Complete B-Complex I hope you have a great day ahead.

      I can drink grass fed milk but commercial milk gives me heartburn from the cassein.  Brine fermented pickles can help establish lactobacillus in his gut.  They provide lactase to break down the lactose.  Vinegar pickled pickles do not.  inegar generally suppresses Lactobacillus by creating an acidic environment  that is inhospitable to the beneficial bacteria.  Organic pasture fed yogurt is good.  Some no fat brands of yogurt use various gums to replace the fat and these can cause a Celiac discomfort.   Vitamin D, Thiamine, Iodine, Choline are some of the vitamins that are deficient in the western diet. Because of malabsorption from the Marsh 3 damage Celiacs are more deficient. Try to choose vegetables low in omega 6. Yes there is hope.  It does take some time to heal the damage  My son was diagnosed when he was weaned as an infant.  He grew up to be a proffesional ocean lifeguard.
