Wish It Was An Oreo...

About 20 minutes ago, I ate 3 Mi-Del Ginger Snaps and then looked at that bag and realized that they were NOT the gluten-free kind. (I KNOW!! READ EVERY LABEL - I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF!) I immediately panicked and started crying. I am almost shaking I am so scared of whats to come. All I can say is that if I was going to eat straight up wheat cookies.. I wish it was an Oreo!

I'm nervous. Haven't been directly glutened since starting the diet. I guess I will get to see the severity of my reaction. Eeek.

:( Ugh. That's the worst feeling. I hope you don't get too sick.

Thank you. So far so good.

Oh I hate how that brand looks almost the same. I have thought to myself many times that people probably do that a lot. Good luck, I am sorry.

That does stink. :( Get out the probiotics and hang in there.

I grabbed my hubs beer instead of mine. Try not to get to upset- that makes your stomach worse. Probably want to cancel the wild plans for tonight. Hang in there. Mine didn't turn out to be too bad. Had to spend some extra time in bathroom & eat bland for a couple okf days. Also got a fierce headache.

Thank you all. I can't even explain how comforting it is to have people who understand!

So this is weird. It's been over 3 hours and NOTHING. My stomach hurt a little and I saw nauseated, but not more than normal. I am always this way after I eat. In the past, if I get cc'ed I normally get diarrhea right away and feel like death is upon me. Obviously I am not in the clear yet, but I am shocked by my lack of reaction so far.

By the way, wild plans have been cancelled. Haha. Going to spend the night cheering on the Penguins from my couch with my heating pad. Just hoping I can make it to see Mom tomorrow.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
