Got To Be More Careful And More Aware

I've only been on a gluten free diet for a week now. I was at my sister-in-law's house Saturday and they got Famous Daves for dinner. I was like I can eat that stuff it's meat. I had three bites and was in such pain and discomfort. I started to read the barbeque sause packet and it has wheat in it. I know I'm new to this and won't know a lot of stuff that has gluten in it within the first week or two but I was totally not thinking and paid the price.

We had a potluck at work today and I brought a veggie platter with dip so I could have something to eat. Someone brought fried chicken so I had a piece with the skin removed and it didn't seem to bother me. My husband was teasing me about talking non-stop about gluten and what products have it and which don't (he has been great even found three or four things for me to try that are gluten free) have gluten. I guess we really do have to obsess about it for a while.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Oh, please don't do this! Whether you noticed a reaction or not, you definitely put gluten into your system when you ate that chicken. Your food must not come in contact with gluten-containing foods. Ever. At all. Gluten cannot be removed from any food item. Once it's there, that food is not for you.

It's mightily inconvenient, but very important.

Hang in there!

Please don't pick the breading off the chicken! There's no way you can get all the gluten off. Even if you don't feel sick, you are damaging your intestines.

It will sound like you're obsessing over what has gluten and what doesn't for the first few weeks. It takes a lot of research to get the hang of the diet! For now, I'd just bring your own safe food until you know what to look for when you're eating out.

If you think obsessing is bad, wait until you start dreaming about gluten. I've had dreams where I'll eat something and suddenly realize that it contains gluten and I shouldn't be eating it.

This is very true. My daughter got glutened at a restaurant because a onion ring accidently got put into her fries. Even though they use a dedicated fryer for the french fries and we told them about Celiac and not having gluten, etc. And she did quit eating the fries the minute she saw the onion ring but still it had touched other fries that she had eaten. So we too will have to be more careful.

It does seem awfully inconvenient for us at the moment because we are still fairly new to the gluten-free lifestyle but we keep telling ourselves that after we learn more it will get easier.

Take care & please be careful :) .

In addition to the gluten sticking to the chicken, how was the skin taken off? Using either your fingers or silverware, those things then get gluten on them. Your plate probably had gluten on it from the chicken sitting on it.

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make.

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      It would seem then that your next step should be a biopsy to check for damage to the villous lining of the small bowel. But you must not reduce gluten intake until that is performed else healing will take place in that area of the intestines and the biopsy results would be invalidated.

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly

      Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet?   How much gluten containing foods did you eat?  What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat?  What has your high calorie diet consisted of?   Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others.  Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza.   Glad you're here!
