Kicking Myself.

I am so mad at myself, I actually started to cry. :(

I made these cookies that I thought were gluten free. They weren't They were organic. Yep, they had wheat in them....I ate one half of a bite of one, they were terrible anyway. Then I read the box again. How could I have been so careless?

I have NOT made one mistake in 3 months - and I have been so careful....

I feel okay - other than the fact that I'm depressed as hell. My biopsy came back normal after going gluten free for 5 weeks, so I imagine I will have to figure this as a set back and go from here.

I want to punch something right now I AM SO MAD at myself.

Just wanted to share my experience with you all.....

UGH!

Happy New Year and I hope that you're all doing ok.

One bite of a cookie isn't the end of the world. It most likely won't even have an effect on your body, so don't stress yourself out!

No point in being depressed and dwelling on something so ridiculous. We all have slip-ups. Just give the cookies away.

Happy New Year and I hope that you're all doing ok.

I'm so sorry- but even after 4 years I STILL make mistakes. It's OK- we're human and celiac/gluten-free is a HUGE learning curve.

Just hope it doesn't make you feel badly.

Thanks, to both of you for your responses.

I've been so good about not making mistakes - I just can't believe I did this.. I did it to myself!

I threw the cookies away. They were horrible, that's when I took a second look at the box because I was talking outloud, saying how crappy gluten free stuff is... then I saw what it said on the box. Made with organic wheat.

UGH!!! I had a meltdown. But I am going forward from today... I DO feel a slight burn in my stomach, like heartburn - that's what it makes me feel like....

Oh well, onward march...

Thanks again.

Forget the cookie mixes--make from scratch!

This recipe tastes just like regular Tollhouse: Open Original Shared Link (scroll down for the chocolate chip cookie recipe)

They use this flour mix: Open Original Shared Link

I use butter-flavor Crisco for the shortening, but plain shortening works just fine, as does coconut oil (which is solid at room temp). The brown rice flour she uses is very expensive, so I use half Bob's Red Mill (which is a bit gritty) and half white rice flour from the Chinese grocery (cheap and very fine). I didn't have dark brown sugar, and used light brown, and they were still yummy, so it's a very forgiving recipe!

It takes maybe 5 minutes longer than using a box mix, but makes twice as much. I usually double the recipe and keep the dough in the fridge and make a dozen or two at a time, for fresh cookies for the kids every day! I do the same thing with pancake batter. (But don't keep for more than 5 days unless you freeze it, because of the raw egg.)

You sound like me! I made a mistake this weekend. Actually I had Quaker Rice Cakes. Boy was that a mistake. The sad thing is I had JUST contacted the manufacturer to ask if any of their products were gluten-free (I had just bought their corn meal) and they told me they can

I understand you are feeling frustrated but when I make a mistake (in this year I 've had about 10) all the bad reaction go away in 1-2 days (with the help of sleep and water). Don't be so hard on your self! And this mistake definately didn't take you back to day 1. It is just a break and then you keep going. You are human...and yes you will have more gluten mistakes in your life.

THANK YOU for all of your stories and support.

I am hoping that they find a cure for us - not so that we can go crazy and eat whatever we want, but at least it can lessen the fear and dread of eating something bad by accident.

I don't know how this will sound....Any way, I'll say it . I am not sad that I have celiac. I 've learned that I can have discipline and enjoy my food more and I am happy that it is not something serious / fatal.

I really enjoy it when people tell me "If I had to follow that diet, I couldn't do it. " That makes me proud. "Healthy" people think their life is food. They can't imagine them selves without pizza. That is pathetic.. I don't NEED pizza to live a normal life...! (to tell you the truth there is bad and there is worse. Gluten free is bad.Ok. And I have to follow a candida diet. You don't wanna know how limiteted THAT IS...I couldn't believe it when I first saw what I was supposed to eat. Consider your self lucky. You can have candies, fruits, rice, juices, coffee, sugar, potatos, nuts, cheese.....

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
