Office/work Places Glutenings!

How many of us get sick and we know we didn't gluten ourselves. Well today I noticed one of my coworkers come over to our little "kitchenette." It is a mini-fridge with a microwave on top. No counter space or anything.

Well, I see her digging around in the fridge. I notice her sandwich sitting on my absent coworkers desk, just laying there not wrapped, no plate, sitting on the bare desk....Why any one would put their food on a desk which has so many germs is nasty to begin with. I even called her on it, and explained that she shouldn't be placing her food on anyone's desk but her own. She thought it was funny.

So how am to know it doesn't happen when I am gone?

So for all of you who are wondering where you are getting your glutenings from....here's to the coworkers. What do you guys think?

Makes me glad I don't work in an office anymore... My house is gluten free. The only place I have to worry about is the garage because our employees eat out there. I'm very careful out there.

I'm sure that it could easily happen. I don't even put my lunch in the fridge at work. But to lay a sandwich on a germy desk, YUCK! I work in a bank and we serve cookies and coffee to our customers. I get to work the lobby one day a week, so I'm sure the customers get me with their crumbs. The rest of the time I'm on the drive in so much safer.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
