Hi

Yesterday my husband made his Christmas bread that he traditionally makes every year.I've been gluten intolerant for about 1 year now and gluten free for 3 months...so yesterday i stayed out of the kitchen of course because of all the flour etc....he cleaned all the counters etc...during the night i woke up around 3ish and had bad cramps..could i have been glutened with just the flour dust around the air.

Does this make sense to anyone....the smell of fresh bread was absolutely yummy but...is it possible.

need an answer please :( can we be that sensitive......

Did you add anything to the turkey supper? Butter? maybe it had been used for the bread? (double dipped?). Did you touch any knobs on drawers, then touched what you ate? Think of sponges used for washing dishes, ANYthing like that. I never used to think of those things until I had ruled everything out and it dawned on me. It could be that you "inhaled" flour?? Hubby may have to change his "traditions" in lieu of YOUR better health! Yes, we can be that sensitive.

Tell Hubby to find a friend's house or go to the in-laws next year to make his bread, or adapt it to a gluten-free recipe so he can share it with you.

I don't even allow non-gluten-free flour in the house anymore. A loaf of bread is allowed (in its own area with its own Toxic Toaster). TV dinners for the non-gluten-free people are allowed. Regular crackers are allowed occasionally but most of the time we all eat corn chips or rice crackers. And that's pretty much it. Flour is just too hard to contain.

Maybe if you post your husband's recipe here some of the smart bakers on this board can suggest how to adapt it to be gluten-free.

Toxic Toaster, love it!

You can always arrange to go away for a week during the time he wants to bake. Have a cleaning service come to clean the kitchen top to bottom before you come home. Other wise he should learn to do his speciality baking with gluten free items. We'd love to have him share his recipes if they are gluten free.

It sounds tough but it for a health reason. We did not ask for this disease.

Ditto. I use pre-made gluten pie crusts for T-day pies (we used to make all the family pies from scratch 5-6 pies) and don't allow any wheat flour. Hubby complains that the store-bought pied crusts aren't as good but if he wants to make them he can go to his mom's.

As far as other gluten, I allow flour tortillas, frozen pizza, frozen mac-n-cheese, burritos etc. plus an occasional bagel and wheat thins when daughter comes home from college. Otherwise everythng is gluten-free. No flour in the air or on the counters. My family members are not very neat and would get crumbs/flour everywhere.

Oh no! Sorry to hear! I think it might have been an xc problem. Inhalation maybe? In the future, if you have to make your food at the same time (or close after) all that NASTY flour is in the air, keep tupperware closed until the microwave and then just crack it. Once it's done in the micro....clamp it shut and RUN. ;p The funny part....I actually do this!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until...

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
