Hay Ride?

I took the kids to the pumpkin patch, where they were able to enjoy all the typical pumpkin patch type activities - as we were sitting on the hay ride, I noticed that a lot of people were taking a strand of hay (straw?) and putting it in their mouth - and so did my boys - then it dawns on me to wonder, "Is this gluten in its purest form, or what?!"

This may sound amusing, but I haven't been able to find any information to clarify this for me?

This is interesting! We are going on a field trip Thursday, and have a hay ride planned. Anyone who knows anything about this, please respond! Thanks for the thread starter!

I would take a look at the type of hay that they will be riding on. It should not be a problem as long as it is not wheat that has been cut down and baled. This is the wrong time of the year to have wheat ready to bale unless is from last year. Hope the kids have fun.

Hay is not generally wheat/barley/rye or oat. There are many types of hay, alfalfa being one, but not a gluten source. Now, that said, I am in Vermont so maybe it's different where you are.

The biggest problem I can see would be cross-contamination. Do you know a stalk of hay or straw from a stalk of wheat? If you do, then no problem, just watch your kids. If you don't, make sure the kids know not to put anything in their mouths. If they want something to chew like the other kids, try giving them a plastic straw and letting them be city-slicker dudes.

I have found most the time they use straw rather than hay since it doesn't cause people to sneeze as much.

I think straw is also cheaper, so the sponsor wouldn't have to pay as much.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
