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

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
