I Glutened My Daughter :-(

[kim26]

i thought that the Delimex Taquitos were ok as long as they were the ones in corn tortillas, obviously.....but after my daughter started complaining of being nauseated i read the box and found out tonight that the beef and cheese kind are not ok. im sure this is old news to most everyone else on here but we are still fairly new to this. it was totally my fault for not reading the box before i gave them to her. they use wheat flour in the seasoning, ugh!!! i feel just awful! I've got her drinking decaf chamomile tea right now to settle her tummy...any other suggestions??

My daughter dehydrates fast so watch for that (leg tenderness is her first sign of dehydration). We give her pedialyte and it helps quickly.

We do peppermint tea but I bet chamomile is just as good!

Don't beat yourself up about it. Everyone makes mistakes. I put a new sunblock on my daughter the other day without checking it. She turned bright red and bumpy in minutes. Darn stuff had oats in it. Ugh.

It happens to the best of us. But I understand that you feel much worse having glutened your child than glutening yourself.

The chamomile tea is a great idea, as it is very soothing. There really isn't much you can do other than be there for her and waiting it out. And reading ALL ingredients lists from now on!

You know I don't think the chicken ones are any better. I did the same thing to my daughter. Sick Sick Sick. I also bought the wrong kind of Dorritos once. She'll forgive you. Don't worry, things happen and now you know.
