Cross Contamination

I am so frustrated with my family members when it comes to my cross contamination concerns. I had to move back home because I got so sick I had to leave my job and its been a slow, slow healing process.

Today, My my mother grabs a bag and hands what I thought was sugar to me. I set it on the table and when I set it down I could see the label on the bag that clearly said FLOUR. When I set it down I could see the little grainules in the air from the sun ( like you can see dust ). I was so pissed. They seem to think this is a joke or it's no big deal.

I don't know what else to do short of moving out, which I cannot afford to do right now. I just wish they would take some precautions to help me so I don't get cross contaminated. Now that flour( the particles ) will settle on the kitchen table of course. I have talked to them at length about this. I truly believe this is why I still don't feel well after 14 months of being gluten free. We have to be one hundred percent gluten-free not 99 or 99.9999.

My sisters kid was over too the other day and was playing with Playdough on the table. Even after I told her that it clearly says right on it that it contains wheat. Sometimes I just think they don't care because it isn't happening to them.

Sorry guys I just had to vent.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.
