    Hi everyone, I was glutened last night by mistake. We ate out and the waiter assured us that the pita bread was gluten free. It, in fact, was not. I'd already eaten a small slice, but it was more than enough to affect my sleep (sleeping too much), give me a burning stomach, and massive brain fog. The brain fog is the worst. I feel like I can't function...

    Ok so we have a question... If he cooks pasta in a pot, then washes that pot with HIS sponge, presumably there's still gluten on it. Then the following night we want to make a gluten-free dinner with that pot, do we need to wash it again with MY sponge? And after that, isn't my sponge glutened? Then what do we do? There are plenty of people on the forum...

    Yikes. This is a real problem. I don't have a dishwasher and neither does my boyfriend. He eats mostly gluten free but there is some stuff that I can't have at his house. When I'm there we can change the towels and just use a separate sponge. I haven't noticed being sick from being there but I noticed immediately at the kids' house. I guess I will have...

    Hi everyone... I need help!! I just started working as a nanny 2 weeks ago and I've been consistently glutened from the toddlers I work with. One is 1.5, the other is 2.5 years. So for all of you with babies, you know how messy it is all day. I'm constantly covered in crackers, cereal bars, snack stuff... it's a gluten nightmare. I work with them from 8-...

    Anyone else experience a rash around the mouth/chin area, from eating dairy? I recently reintroduced it into my diet. Probably not the best idea, but it seems my digestive system can finally tolerate ice cream. But, it seems my skin is breaking out. I know the ice cream is gluten free (Haagen Daz Peanut Butter/Chocolate). I wonder if casein would induce...

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I had a nightmare the other night that I ate a whole peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I woke up feeling really guilty and realized it was just a dream... I often have dreams like that when I think I've been glutened. Sometimes I'll have the dream and realize a day or two later that I'm not feeling well. I've been gluten free for about a year.

    UGGGHHH Play-Doh was a killer for me, I was so sick all the time. I worked with toddlers and infants, and forget it... I had to get rid of all of it. I guess I'm in the "super sensitive" camp.

    I recently started a new job as a caretaker with a child with special needs working in the home. I am noticing my symptoms (bloating, D) coming back and I'm wondering if it's possible that I've been cross contaminated? I bring my own lunch and eat NOTHING from their kitchen or on their plates. I bring my food in tupperware and heat it in the microwave...

    Hi Terin! Welcome to the forum, glad you found us : ) This is a wonderful community and really supportive... I went through Enterolab about a year ago and found them to be super helpful every time I called with questions. I did the stool panel and the genetic cheek swab. You can just call their main number and ask them what they recommend. I don't think...

    Oh yes I've heard that - people with a mango allergy can eat them from other regions. They are a distant cousin to poison oak, and it's the skin that bothers me but there's no real way to get away from the oil on the skin, and I don't even want to try. I wonder if I can eat mangos from other places but I'm too afraid to try because my reaction is so severe...

    I know I got glutened a few weeks ago and it's actually taken me about that long to get over it. I moved to a new city and ate out while moving, though I tried to be careful we all know how THAT one goes. Last week I went to a dinner party and had three questionable items: Falafel (host said there was no wheat in it), tapioca (same), and hummus. I asked...

    Dear Rachel, Thank you for contacting Panera Bread. I have included below a list of our menu items that do not contain gluten-containing ingredients. However, because we bake fresh bread daily in our bakery-cafes and bread is core to our menu, we simply cannot ensure that there has been no contact between these items, or any other menu items, and gluten...

    ......and the winner is..... SCABIES. After a night of extreme unpleasantness and lots of cream, and cleaning ALL DAY... I hope this is over. Soon. Doc seems to think gluten exacerbated my rxn to the insects, but I def. got them from the hotel. Yikes. Being the cleanest, most obsessive person alive about personal hygiene, I was horrified...

    It's spread now to my face and around my neck and my throat feels swollen. I just took some Benadryl because it's not going away by itself. I don't think it's chiggers because it's spreading and with a swollen throat it sounds more like a reaction. Thanks for everyone's help in figuring this out... I wonder why it has taken a few days to get worse? I...

    Hmm... I went to see fireworks in an open field over the holiday. I thought it might be gluten related because I have had it in the past, but now it's more pronounced so I wasn't sure.
  17. luciddream928
    Hmm... didn't think of that, but I don't have a fever. If it were bugs I figure I would have had it earlier, like when I was in the hotel room... what confuses me is why it's taken a few days to show up?!

    I recently took a vacation and though I ate out, took precautions to tell the waitstaff what I needed. However, the likelihood of CC is pretty strong. My recent symptoms are insomnia, irritability (probably because I'm not sleeping), and itchy bumps within the past 2 days all over my body. Does DH look like chicken pox? And, shouldn't it have shown...

    Shampoo/Conditioner - I buy Matrix Biolage and Trader Joe's brand ("Replenish"?) Lotion - Gold Bond, Unilever (an umbrella company - look on the back), Lotion - Seven Palms is great (just bought Lavender/Relax kind in a blue bottle at Smith's grocery store) Mouse/Hair Spray - (Aussie? Not sure but I've heard people mention it here)

    Has anyone seen this documentary? I was shocked to see how altered food can be even when I think it's safe. Has anyone read into genetically modified foods and how to tell if basic food is "messed around with"? I'm thinking about rice, corn, etc... HOW CAN WE TELL?! Makes my head spin, LOL!

    Thanks so much for the reply! I'm not sure what c h/a means though?

    Hi all, I'm traveling to Sacramento in late June for some job interviews and I am looking for apartments to check out. I am seeing some places on Craigslist for $715-$750 that are gorgeous condos, located on P street, and include utilities. it seems too good to be true for my limited budget. Can anyone recommend other places or know anything about Sacramento...
  23. luciddream928
    Yes you are probably right. I ate out a whole lot this weekend (best friend visiting from out of town) and I asked the waitress if the fryer was a "French Fry Only" one and she said "yes" and on the way out I saw an onion ring skin (I think) on the ground (we were eating outside). So.... possibly that got me. CC is such a big issue, I guess... unless...

    Hi all. I am having the classic symptoms again - sleeping 10 hours, exhaustion, tired muscles, nausea, poor attention span, "short-fused".... Yesterday I had a soy milk chai at a coffee shop. I called this morning and they used Oregon chai and Silk soy milk, which apparently are both gluten free. I checked their websites. I have no idea what "got...

    Yes I had allergy testing, but the Dr. told me that the scratch test is not as accurate as she would hope. I'm not sure what the percentage is. I tested "allergic" to wheat and soy. There is no gluten test. She told me to keep soy in my diet because I've already cut so many other things out. Oddly enough, I didn't test allergic to milk at all - but I definitely...
