I Take It Back!

Well I spent the night at my sister's to see my parents who are visiting from out of town. I was worried about CC in her kitchen or someone's feelings getting hurt if I made a request, but my family was so awesome and supportive! :D

They made sure they did every little thing per my instructions and asked lots of questions to make sure they got it right. Despite using my sister's cookware and my dad leaving toast crumbs all over the kitchen, I did not get sick! I had been so nervous going over there but everything went much better than I expected.

We're supposed to go back tomorrow. I bought gluten-free ingredients to make a gluten-free cake for my son so I could eat some too, but now I have the flu and don't have the energy to bake. We'll just have to buy a regular one and I'll bake his gluten-free cake next week. I know he won't mind. I'm gargling like crazy and putting H2O2 in my ears regularly to try and kill this thing. The last thing I want is to miss my son's birthday party tomorrow! First it was the snow, now this. I really wanted to see my parents for more than one day before they leave, and I'm really sad! :(

That's wonderful! Wish my family was half as supportive.

I am mounting an assault and gaining troops so to speak in this behalf since many in my family has this same condition. It just takes a lot of finegaling meanwhile for them to get it and be convinced its worthwhile and necessary.

Meanwhile....I am hoping your gargle doesn't have (grain based) alcohol in it. You are just using salt water, right? Various anti catahral herbs (not tinctures) can also help as well as the usual chicken soup with lots of onions, garlic and cooked veggies...

The gargle was just salt water. And I used hydrogen peroxide once (diluted, of course.)

The belated xmas dinner was fabulous last night! It was 100% gluten free. I must have my family under some spell because they forgot to buy rolls! haha We even had gluten-free gravy. My brother-in-law-to-be did an amazing job with the potato starch!! I haven't had gravy in almost a decade!

I was too sick to bake a gluten-free cake, so we bought him one at the store and I had some soy egg nog for desert. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. I got to pig out on Lay's potato chips all day, and my sister and I baked sweet potato & beet chips in the oven. I think maybe I got a tiny bit of residue off her baking sheets because I forgot to ask her to line them with foil, but I didn't actually get really sick...the beets are just passing through a little faster than they should be. I can't say it was for her lack of trying to be gluten-free, though! totally my fault.

I think after this I won't feel so nervous eating at other peoples' houses. It is actually possible. :)

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily

      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?
    • Nicbent35
      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?
