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.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
