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.

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
