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

      Why Celiac Diagnosis Still Takes Years—and How to Change That

      Withholding the treatment (strict gluten-free diet) until the very end to me is the biggest obstacle to getting more people "identified" with gluten intolerance/Celiac. The strict gluten-free diet in my opinion is both the effective treatment and also a valuable diagnostic tool. My personal advice would be to go on a properly administered gluten-free diet...

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially...

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      With the wide availability of frozen prepared gluten-free pizzas, for example DiGiorno's, it's probably best to avoid the risk of eating pizza in restaurants that also make regular pizza.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't recall seeing "many people here recommending RO water," but reverse osmosis (RO) water is water that has been purified by forcing it through a very fine membrane that removes dissolved salts, heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, PFAS, and many other contaminants. It is one of the most thorough household filtration methods available and can be especially beneficial in areas with well water or known contamination concerns. While RO systems also remove beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium and may produce slightly “flat”-tasting water, most dietary minerals come from food rather than drinking water, so this is not usually a health concern for most people. Overall, RO water is very clean and safe to drink, and it can be a smart option where water quality is questionable, though it may not be necessary in areas with well-tested municipal water.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will only add that one should never do 50k IU daily of vitamin D without being advised to do so by your doctor, and only if they are closely monitoring your vitamin D levels over the time you are doing this.
