Wheat Fields All Around Me!

there are two fields one along side my property and one across the street that I just found out are planted with wheat - Does anyone know if I need to be concerned? along with gut issues I have DH - and I've found out that I react externally from contact with wheat products.

I'm thinking that I need to go away from home the day that the farmer harvests the wheat from his field.

Any thoughts or advice?

thanks!

Debbie

( just another note - I recently helped my husband's aunt recognize celiac disease in herself - her main problem has been migraines and the big "D" - she has been gluten free for the last three weeks and is "cured"! of course she is thanking me profusely... I'm happy to have been able to help her.) this makes about 5 people in the last 6 mos. that I've had a hand in diagnosing.. most of them have been rashes.

I don't really have an answer for you, except to follow your "gut" instincts, heh heh.

Getting the heck out during harvest seems like a smart idea.

BTW, are you by any chance located in the Palouse of WA state, or in Idaho?

I am originally from WA (Go Cougs!), and I know all too well about the rolling wheat

fields in that area.

yes - I was thinking about airborne wheat - what a nightmare- OR since I don't know - stick around dance around behind the tractor and see if it bothers me.. :)

I'm in North Carolina - I thought they planted rye in those fields.. but much to my dismay they are raising my worst foe. :( oh well

Thanks for your input!!

I live in a farming area...Heck, all we HAVE in Saskatchewan is farming!! During the summer/fall you can see so much grain dust in the air that it looks like fog. So I warn you: If i'm exposed to it too much, and breathe it in, not only do I nearly have an asthma attack but I do get glutened.

It is interesting you mentioned the Palouse! We lived in Moscow for almost 9 years. My middle son is being worked up for asymptomatic celiac disease as a reason for growth delay. I have to wonder if having our house surrounded by wheat fields (literally one in our back yard) could be a reason he could have this. He lived there from 8 weeks old to age 8.

I do miss the sea of wheat when the wind blows!

We know several people there with Celiac disease so it got us all thinking.

My husband and I both went to WSU. He, of course being a die hard cougar fan, wants our kids to go there too. I told him last night that they wouldn't be able to attend. He argued with me that "I'm sure it's fine..." I remember what it's like during harvest season. NO WAY they're going there!!!

I have always thought that wheat fields were so beautiful...swaying in the sun. Kinda depressing that they'll make us sick! :(

But yeah, be careful on windy days when it stirs up particles!

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      The previous post did not come through right. I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
