I Thought That They Were Gluten Free

[little d]

I picked up a box of Vann's waffles at Walmart good price 1.79 they were right next to the Gluten free/wheat free boxs and i picked up the blueberry waffles didn't even look to verify that it said Gluten free and took them home started to eat them, the second time I ate them just happened to read the box for the millionth time as I had them in the toaster and started to eat realized that they had wheat in them, I though no wonder I still didnt feel that great after you know lathargic, heartburn a little tummy burn and now since I had them tuesday and last week I think that is was Monday last week that I had these and I then started to get my reacurring itching, burning I cant stop scratching on the side of my wrist and then the little blisters came which some went away or bursted while in the shower they were raised before the shower after they went down and then came the D the lovley D very smelly so smelly that the restroom that I used at work is a little hidden have to go through 2 doors just to get to it and someone wanted to use it and never ventured much farther that the first door they turned right around to find another bathroom, I thought wow it really must stink for it to reach the first door i was kinda embarresed but im glad that they didn't know that it was me. Of course I have not been diagnosed with DH but I think that it could be, I did go to the primary doctor to look at it and he just said exzama I told him that I had wheat last week and D now and he said well sound like that it could be connected and just to continue with my gluten free diet do what I can until something major happens, He looked at the report that the GI sent him and said that all looks normal and to keep an eye on thing if gets worse let him know, He didn't know what else to do because he is just a general doctor who has been my husband doctor since he was 3 month old so he has been practing for over 33 years. I don't have any hard feeling for my doc he is nice he is just a little old, but he does get what we need when the family is sick and very understanding to our needs and he was honest with me last year when he said I have no idea what Celiacs is and the gluten free diet consist of and his nurse gotta love her too just as old and when she had talked to me on the phone last year she said to me if you do have Celiac Disease or intolerance My goodness she said what on earth are you supposed to eat I couldn't help but laugh and I said I don't know you tell me. Wow I'm sorry ya'll I didn't realize how long I was going to be I just rambled on, I guess thats what you get for being tired from working all night and only getting 2-3hours of sleep no not because of D but because of the phone.

Wow, sorry to hear that you got glutened! If you'd told me, I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that there was a Vann's that was gluten-free. I guess that's why we're supposed to read everything... (you'd think that we could just get one of those buzzers on the wrist or something instead though to train us). I bought this thing at Target (or Menard's?) a de-smellifier -"True Air"- that's a plug in filter/fan. It doesn't pump chemicals in the air - no smells - it circulates the air through a filter. It's not perfect, but it does a help in a small space. I wonder if you could plug it in at work?

The buzzer thing would be a great idea when shopping just add a scanner run it over the bar code and wam bam it will tell don't do it you will regret it later on the PROCLINE THRONE. and yes there are Vann's waffle that are gluten free/wheat free I have bought them in the past and not a problem. But they are very blah the apple cinnimon are good a little tastyer.

The gluten free ones are kinda next to the regular ones.... too bad. My favorite is when my husband comes home and says HEY >>> I found the greatest cereal bars that say WHEAT FREE>>>> yipeeee doooo dah......... Untill I say .. ah duhhhh boy, wheat free doesnt mean gluten free and I am leaving.. and guess who gets to clean up the baby now in an hour and a half when he starts to vomit.... YOU DOOOOOOOOO ,,,, SO now he looks at the lables better,,, But this isnt easy
