Close Call With Milky Way...

Last night my daughter ate a milky way! :o I was waiting for the full-on reaction knowing that Snickers = Safe and Milky Way = Malt.

Thankfully, no reaction (GI anyway) ever came other than a few raunchy belches but boy was I mad!! I think she made an honest mistake but I could swear I've told her Milky Way is not safe (it wasn't the dark variety). You'd think she had just run out into traffic the way I scolded her.

Hopefully we'll make it through this one symptom free and I've promised her that just because it is barley, doesn't make it any less damaging than wheat. All our accidental glutenings have been with wheat, so I didn't really know what would happen if it was malt/barley.

I have assured her up and down that just because she didn't have a reaction *this time* does by no means give her license to go Milky Way crazy.

Of course, now that it is Saturday morning and she has to clean her room, suddenly she "doesn't feel good." Ohhhhhh the drama. :P

I'm glad she's safe, though!

:) Hi! I'm glad that she felt ok after eating it. It scares me sometimes when my daughter tells me her stomach hurts & I try to think of what she ate. I'm sure she will remember next time not to eat that kind of candybar.

"Of course, now that it is Saturday morning and she has to clean her room, suddenly she "doesn't feel good." Ohhhhhh the drama. :P " hehe That kind of sounds like my daughter. She said her stomach hurt and didn't want to go to Sunday School but she did want to go shopping after church. Because she said I'm sure I'll feel better by then. Sure! Drama, drama :)

Take care

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
