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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      Thanks for asking I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
