Contamination

I'm rather new to this and have only been totally gluten free for 4 weeks. For years, I reduced my "wheat intake" and was always on a diet. As I've gotten older the gluten symptoms have worsened until I knew I had to go gluten free. Today my cleaning lady brought chicken sandwiches over for our lunch. I took the chicken off the bread with the radishes, tomatoes and rugala and had them as a salad. Next thing I know, I'm asleep in front of the TV for 2 hours. I woke up and began coughing like mad, my sinuses were draining, I had shortness of breath and my eyes were swollen and runny. I had a slight headache and my neck and shoulders hurt from fibromylagia symtoms. Luckily I didn't have intestinal distress....yet that is. I didn't think contamination would be an issue for me, but undoubtedly it is. Is it normal to have a reaction that fast? Your comments on the subject of contamination would be appreciated.

You may have a wheat allergy which results in your symptoms. Cross contamination must be a issue for you. For people with celiac or gluten sensitivities, taking the chicken off the bread is a big no no.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
