Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

I went Gluten free a few days ago. I was Dx'd 4-1, had biopsy 5-15...went Gluten free. My house is empty of gluten except for a few things for my son that I din't want to just throw away. Once they are gone, I'm not buying more. Since he suseptible to getting Celiac too, I'm going totally gluten-free at home.

So anyway I was getting lunch together...he wanted a Waffle(it has gluten) and I got out some rice cakes for myself. Well I made him waffle and poured soem rice cakes into a bowl. We went into teh living room and started eating. About half way through my rice cakes I realized that I didn't wash my hands after touching his waffle...multiple times!!!! I am payign for it now!!!!! Jeez LESSON LEARNED!!!!!!

Hey, don't beat yourself up! You're newly gluten-free. It took me MONTHS to get the hang of things, and I still sometimes forget to read labels.

Be nice to yourself. You've had a tough few years!

I was gluten free for 5 yrs and at Christmas time that year, I made puppy chow for my daughter and the people at work. The cereal I used did have malt in it and I didn't eat any, yet I must have not washed my hands or something because I was glutened that time.

It happens to all of us!

Let's see, I was cooking gluten free noodles for me and regular noodles for my family, tasted mine to see if they were done, and then tasted theirs. I have popped goldfish in my mouth, put a piece of the kids cereal in my mouth, and liked my finger after cutting birthday cake. I can't believe how much we put into our mouth without thinking. Hope the glutening doesn't last long.
