I was just over babysitting and my daughter got home and was going to make PB&Js for the kiddos.

I was on the sofa, she was in the kitchen. She comes out with white bread and goes, "is this bread bad? It smells like whiskey" I go, "is there mold on it it?" "No, it just smells funny."

So she puts it up to my face and I smell it and it smells like whiskey, and I go, "no, that's done turned, don't use it".

Before she could walk back into the kitchen, the right side of my face starting itching and burning. So I'm scratching it, not thinking anything of it. So I go and look in the mirror and I have this gigantic WELP on my face in the exact place the bread touched it!

You mean to tell me I can't TOUCH gluten? Come on now! I want to ask you all if this is possible, but it's right here on my FACE so it's possible.

Have any of y'all had reactions like that? I mean, with the tape at the hospital, that was one thing, but a piece of bread on my face for 2 seconds gives me welps?

I tell ya the truth, I am just absolutely dumbfounded by this one.

The things you get into! Maybe it's the mold or bacteria that made the bread smell bad reacting with your skin. Good thing the kids didn't eat it. Hope your face is better quick!

It wouldn't hurt to be allergy tested. One can be both wheat allergic and have gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

funny you said that, because we've been talking about getting me allergy tested, but it seems to be expensive and hard to "get at" around here.

When I told my mom, she goes, "Well, there's your wheat skin allergy test - you just saved yourself a lot of time trouble and money."

I've read many a post on here of people needing makeup, shampoo, etc that's gluten-free because of such things! I am not bothered that badly....yet, lol. I never even KNEW stuff like that had gluten in it! Bless your heart....a true allergy could be an issue for you.

I was thinking the same thing--there was a girl who used to post here a few years ago who was Celiac and allergic to wheat.

You should definitely get an allergy test for wheat. You might also consider testing for mold allergies. Some molds are very toxic, but not everyone reacts the same. If you have mold in your house it can make you very sick to the point of having neuro problems like some of the things you have shared on this board.

One of my co-workers is Celiac and allergic to wheat. We cannot make playdoh in the room because she'll have major issues and need to go to the hospital, and that's just from some of the flour sneezed on by a child and the flour poofs everywhere. She can't clean up after the playdough. If we do paper mache it has to be mixed elsewhere then brought in and she stays on the other side of the room while we do it. So yeah, I'd say your allergy test is positive.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,
