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.....

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      By Mari · Posted

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
