It Was Hard But I Did It!

This may sound so silly but I just have to share and here is the only place I get the understanding support that I need right now.

Last night my daughter and I went out for a family camp meal at my son's boy scout summer camp. They were serving big, fat steaks and baked potatoes. OH YUM right?

To make things better MY hubby was the one doing all the cooking! YEA!!!! He was so very kind to start a NEW steak for me after I asked him and explained that mine would need to be cooked on foil because of CC with the grill grate. Mind you this was after he had already been working on a nice big steak for me that had sat ON the grate :( AND he had very carefully checked the ingredients of the seasoning pack for gluten. YEA gluten free!!

Well, yea until I realized that he was using the SAME tongs to flip my new steak that he was cooking on the foil. :( How could I tell him that I just couldn't risk it? I didn't want to hurt his feelings but I knew I did not want to be in pain for the next 2 days at least. So, I carefully said please don't be mad but.....

Well, he was so very kind about it and I looked over a few minutes later to see him with a NEW steak on a NEW piece of foil and he was flipping the steak with his fingers! Burning them quite bad by the way! But by then I was so scared of CC that I just nibbled on a baked potatoe that had been cooked in foil on the coals. (Hoping that will be ok.)

So, point of it is I resisted the chance of CC over and over even though I really could have sunk my teeth into one of those big fat steaks!!!!

And I don't think hubby was upset at me either!!

Awe, that is SO sweet that your hubby is understanding. I would have eaten the one he flipped with his fingers, but that's great you were able to resist. For the future, have them wrap the steak completely in foil and that way he can flip it without changing tongs. It may take a little longer to cook, but it will still cook just fine. I have done this with chicken and veggie packets on the grill with no problems.

Your hubby is a real keeper. I also would have eaten the one that he flipped with his fingers but it is okay that you didn't. The idea about wrapping the whole thing in foil was a good one.

Oh thank you for the idea to wrap it entirely in foil. I didn't even think of that!

Yes, my hubby is a keeper. He tries so super hard for me not only in the gluten area.

I really feel so bad for those that don't have understanding spouses.

:)

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
