Can Cross Contamination Do This?

I had a miserable sleeping night last night. Reminds me of before going gluten free. I've been careful with eating, shampoo, soap, medication, etc. This past week, I was at many family gatherings eating of course. I'm sure that I must have been glutened, the reaction was what I went through many times before I went gluten free. My whole body was on fire along with the tingly legs. I am sure that I got CC from all the family gatherings. I tried to be so careful, but I'm sure my family wasn't. I will just have to not worry what they think. I always brought a nice gluten free salad. I should have stuck with that.

It doesn't take much to make you feel bad. How many times have I kicked myself saying "why did I let my guard down?" Live and learn I guess.

That seems to be the hardest!!! You don't want to offend anyone or make more work by asking what's in everything. Family gatherings are worse for CC than restuarnts...atleast for me!!!

I hope you feel better soon! i guess we just have to learn to be more outward with it! :D

You are right that family gatherings seems to be worse than eating out. I've had much better success there. Of course tomorrow I have a graduation party. I'm going there on a full stomach. I've had over a week of family gatherings and I think it just all caught up with me last night. I did a stupid thing at work this week too now that I think of it. I have the lovely job of putting out coffee and cookies every morning. I always wash my hands after and got side tracked and didn't, so I'm sure that didn't help either. Grrrrr

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
