Venting But Thankful Too...

Just a quick vent here... I have been feeling so dragged out lately and unmotivated. I know/knew it was the gluten but didn't know exactly what.. and didn't feel well enough to figure it out. Finally a few days ago I eliminated a couple of things(I hadn't realized contained soy) out of my diet and took some liquid iron which helped some. I have enough energy now to come on here and look for some more answers. I am so thankful for this forum.

My problem? Cross-contamination. Wooden spoons, plastic (cracked)spatula, etc. Why I didn't look at that before, I don't know. Dead brain cells from years of gluten exposure...? :P And also I felt so good initially from going gluten free. I didn't think I would get more sensitive than I was... and yet I knew, you know, from reading this forum. Anyway, now I have hope that I can get up and running and back to 'normal'. :D

Spring has sprung! Hey Irishheart back atcha! TOMORROW! That's our group,s big potluck. I am so glad I am able to enjoy this. I am going to be on my knees praying over that potluck! This is our first and I know that not everyone has the same level of concern about cc yet (and the finger would have been pointing back at me if I hadn't figured this out). Plus I haven't heard anyone say... 'I have a soy issue.' except me... so...

Hoping Sunday will be a 'Happy Mother's Day' with no cc issues from the night before. :P

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
