Just Got Glutened By Birthday Present

I just got accidentally glutened about an hour ago and am praying I don't have a bad reaction. I've been gluten-free since Jan. and have been accidentally glutened twice since then and felt terrible for about two days. This was from a present, of all things! :(

A friend sent me a case of Nana's cookies for my birthday, knowing Nana's makes gluten-free products, and the only Nana's products in our health food store are gluten-free so I just assumed that all the Nana's products were. I ate about 1/4 of the cookie before I turned the wrapper to casually look over the ingredients (I love to bake so love to see what things are made of) and the first ingredient is whole wheat flour!

I know we are supposed to always read the labels of everything and I always do, except today. I really think that companies that are known for gluten-free products (not talking about General Mills, etc. but the ones that cater to people w/food sensitivies) need to put bold "CONTAINS WHEAT" or something along those lines on products that aren't gluten-free.

Now I'm just waiting in anticipation, praying the reaction won't come. I chewed up 10 acidophilus immediately and drank a glass of water. Drinking another now. Just had to tell someone who would understand, thanks for reading!

So sorry! I hope the anticipation is worse than the real reaction.

Can I ask if anyone else has had an experience like this and been tempted to go throw up and try and get it out of your system? I haven't yet, as I've only been glutened by trace stuff and I always take two days to react, so I wouldn't be able to do this, but wondered if anyone had.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
