Anyone Live Next To A Wheat Field?

OK, long story short version....

I sold my house (gotta be outta here the 15th of next month)

Found the MOST beautiful house I have ever seen and the bank said if you want it then you can have it!

Here is the problem....

Its completely surrounded by "pivots" and generally they grow wheat in the corners.... so....

I don't "think" it will be an issue while its generally growing, but what about harvest time? anyone know? It only has a 8 1/2 acre lot so its not like I have much "control area" I have been thinking about planting trees around the edges to block the wind, but thats going to block my view as well which is one of the nice things about this place......

OK people shoot me some knowledge I NEED IT!

Um, the only thing I can think of is weedkiller, or whatever might kill wheat?

Heeheeheeheee...oh so many jokes in my head, thanks for the laugh. :D

Anyone know if Michael Moore is a celiac?

Sorry to add bad news, but I lived next to a wheat field once (before I knew I had celiac)....it is the sickest I've ever been. Now, I don't know whether it had anything to do with inhaled proteins or anything, that's just the time I was sickest in my life. I got to where I couldn't eat anything without being doubled over in pain and I had bad tingling in the hands and awful constant eye twitches. It was such a cute house, though-- a little farmhouse in the English countryside. Another bad issue I had while I was there was intense itching in my legs, especially after a shower. Now I know it's called pruritis and it's associated with celiac-- something to do with deficiencies that make keratin in the skin abnormal. It's also related to climate too-- cold and dry (inside) in winter. It was worse in that house than other places I stayed in the area and I was convinced it had something to do with the water (could water get contaminated with wheat?-- maybe that's farfetched).

I'm not sure how much of this applies to the house you're considering, but I'd beware of exposing yourself to the wheat. I'm putting in an offer on my dream house right now and I know how it is, though. Good luck!

Loco_ladi--tis your call! I lived in the country, with wheat and corn fields and I have allergies, which I did suffer. Now I live on Long Island, with a salt breeze, which they say is the best there is for allergy sufferers and I still suffer from allergies. So, it's hard to say. For most of the year, you will love your new home. During harvest season and for sometime after, you may not. After the wheat is harvested, then they will, more than likely, use the base product for baling into straw for animal bedding and this is very dusty and puts so much into the air. Me, I would not move there. I would try to find a place surrounded by woods, something like that.

Sorry, only my thoughts.

Not to mention the fact that real estate is lagging right now and it should be easy to find something else that fits, if that's what you want.

I live in Kansas,wheat capital of the nation. Not only that, there are 2 flour mills in my town, one a block away. There is always dust in the air, we run air cleaners like mad fiends. I am looking for another job away from here but who knows when. You just do the best you can.

Well, its my 1 year anniversaary in the new house....

We has wheat in the "corner" behind the house last year, we were here for the planting.... no noticable problems...

here for the growing..... no problems

here for the budding..... no problems

here for the maturing..... no problems

here for the harvesting.... OMG had a flashback of my hayfever when I lived in maine..... solution.... hello air conditioner all windows and doors stay closed and my truck got parked in the attached garage rather than outside of the house.... exit side door into garage, enter truck put up door, head to work.... reverse on the way home, lol

Matter of fact hubby helped a friend haul wheat this year, solution.......

arrive home.... change clothes in garage.... immediately enter shower upon entering house..... wash clothes at work not at home, wasn't a perfect solution but his friend needed help and it didn't bother me to badly.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
