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.

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)

...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.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Insomnia help

      By hjayne19 · Posted

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
