Grossest Gf Moment Yet...

So I went to my local supermarket today to pick up some corn meal and gluten-free flour to make the cornbread I've been craving for a week. Got home - was SO excited - opened up the corn meal - BUGS! Opened up the gluten-free flour - more BUGS!!

Apparently they don't sell a whole lot of this stuff, so it sits on the shelf for quite awhile. It wasn't out of date though. It was just full of bugs.

So I closed up the bags, put them on the kitchen counter - away from the rest of my foods - and figured I'd return them this afternoon and get my money back. So I went on unloading the rest of my groceries and started the chili for tonite. No more than 10 minutes later, I had little white worms crawling all over my sink and up the side of my refrigerator!!!

By this point I was SOOOO grossed out, I didn't care about getting my money back, so I plunked the bags of nappy flour into a huge freezer bag, completely wound it up with masking tape, put in into another grocery bag and threw it in the outside trash. Then I had to move everything in my kitchen to make sure I killed all those grody little bugs.

(Thankfully, my chili and the rest of my groceries were on the other side of the kitchen and were safe.)

I don't think I'll ever buy flour from that supermarket again. I'll stick to buying online or from the whole foods store. So gross...I just can't stop thinking about those bugs. :unsure: I think I'm going to go clean my kitchen again!

GROSS!!!!

You should call the store and tell them what happened, they need to get rid of the rest of that stuff.

I agree! Thats nasty...they need to be aware of that problem so nobody else has to deal with the little worms all over their kitchen...eeeew!

that's really really gross. I too would be calling the supermarket and letting them know about the bugs. They will need to make sure the rest of their flours aren't infested. YUCK!

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
