Too Far-fetched? Floral Arrangement Wheat

Hi Everyone,

Recently suffered a suspected glutening after a FABULOUS month (Wow!) and, once again, can't pinpoint the culprit. I work doing floral design in summers and the day before the hideous night was in a loft cleaning tons of old, dried flowers and WHEAT (used in arrangements). Dust was everywhere although I was being careful. Is it possible I inhaled some "wheat dust' which then gave me a reaction? Or am I nuts? Again, gluten-free household for over a year, soy, dairy, corn, legume and nightshade-free, eat only what I make, no new cosmetics, tra la la...

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

lisa

Your not nuts. If your inhaling the dust it is not only contacting your mucous membranes it is also dripping in your mucous down your throat. Think of how many times in just a few minutes you swallow your own spit even. If you ever have to do this again at least wear a mask.

Thank you, Ravenwoodglass!

Yes, I have a problem with the old "post nasal drip" as well so that's why I got suspicious. I WILL wear a mask; thank you!

Hi Lisa--

Yes, I agree. It's the reason why I don't have wheat flours or mixes in the house--the dust will be breathed in and then swallowed. The dust from the dried wheat is really no different.

Hope you get back to feeling better soon :)

This is so lame, but, being highly reactive I actually think about things like that. Sigh.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      As my doctor said, you don't have to eat breakfast food for breakfast.  I may have a leftover piece of chicken and left over squash or eggs or I am actually more likely to skip breakfast as I do intermittent fasting.  In that case I eat lunch around 11:30 and have some guacamole and a salad with chicken or tuna.  For dinner I have pork, shrimp, chicken, lamb, or turkey with half a baked sweet potato and some broccoli, green beans, beets, carrots or cauliflower.  I do not eat any grains on the advice of my doctor.  I do not eat commercially processed products, even if they say they are gluten-free.  I make Warrior Bread every few weeks.  It has no yeast and contains almond flour and dried sweet potato.  Very tasty too.  A good book to help in this regard is No Grain, No Pain by Peter Osborne.  Thankfully, I can eat coconut and nuts and use those flours in baking and also use nut milks in cooking.  Since I am allergic to chocolate and vanilla, lemon is my go to flavor for something sweet.  My migraines totally disappeared once I went gluten and casein free.  I can occasionally eat certain high fat cheeses that are low in casein, as well as grass fed butter.  I use lots of Organic Olive and Avocado oil. The problems I thought I had with nightshades went away when I went fully organic.  And, the rest of my issues went away by avoiding the foods I tested positive to as well as avoiding all grains. I will be the first one to say that it is a very expensive way of eating, but thankfully we can afford to eat that way.  The good news is that I take no prescription meds at age 72.  At 54 before diagnosis, I was a mess and on a boatload of pharmaceuticals.

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      By RMJ · Posted

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.
