So, I've been staying away from corn, as I've realized it doesn't agree with me. I've felt SOOO much better since I cut that out. I went to a baby shower on Saturday and brought a dip/salady dish. That was gluten-free, obviously. I brought corn chips for it for the others and brought my own crackers for myself. All I had while I was there was fruit salad and the dip with my crackers. That afternoon, evening and the next day I was NOT feeling good. I was suspecting I had gluten somehow but then I started thinking about the corn chips. If someone dipped the corn chips into the same dip could that small an amount have given me a reaction? I know it's like that with gluten but do you find it's like that with other foods you're sensitive to? Just trying to figure it all out. :)

I am by no means an "Expert" but I would say that yes if you have a severe sensitivity that you could have been CC'd by the corn chips touching your dip. I am very lucky (or maybe unlucky) that I do not have reactions to CC. I know that it still can do damage, but I have a hard time knowing when that does happen.

Just my 2 cents....

Yes, you can be glutened with the cc from the dip. Although, I think frito lay corn chips are gluten free (plain ones). I was glutened when I brought some barbeque beef to work and everyone took the spoon and rubbed it on thier bread when making their sandwiches. Was sick for several days because of this. Needless to say, I no longer participate in shared lunches at work....

yeah, just about anything could have gotten into your food if it was sitting on a buffet table. Not just the corn chips but crumbs from something else on the table.

Buffets scare the crap out of me!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
