Inhaled Arrowroot Flour

This is the first time I've used arrowroot flour...and I didn't even eat it. I used it to flour a board to prevent some food from sticking. It is pretty powdery and I ended up inhaling some of it and immediately felt that glutened feeling (for me it is a bit of a headache followed by a feeling of angry bee stings in my stomach). I didn't touch or eat anything else for several hours before this and this flour is the only thing that could have caused this. Is this possible?

Ouuuuuch!

thanks

I've heard that you have to be careful with some companies, just in the sense of contamination of their "gluten free" flours. I use Bob's red mill brand b/c they regularly test their gluten-free flours for gluten. I'm sure others can suggests brands that they feel are safe.

What brand was it that you used?

It was a generic no-label brand. I should have known better. If it doesn't specifically say gluten-free, then I should run away from it...

I just had a pizza dough with arrowroot... Only new ingredient I havent had in years.. The box. Was from Simple mills pizza dough.. I had the normal gluten reaction, as well as my daughter.. We both have celiac.. Never again for me.. Maybe even though certified gluten free..  my body knows better.

      Mama trying to help 3 year old!!!

      By Stuartpope · Posted

      Thank you for the input. We go back to the GI doctor in June- she wants to do more labs to check vitamin levels( not sure why the didn't check all at once with the iron being so low) and recheck inflammatory levels. Just trying to find him some relief in the meantime.

      Welcome to the forum, @Stuartpope! With Marsh 3b damage to the villous lining of the small bowel, your son is likely deficient in a number of vitamin and minerals due to poor absorption, not just iron. B12 and all the other B vitamins are likely low. I would suggest looking into a high quality gluten-free B complex, D3, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important) and zinc. A children's multivitamin likely will not be potent enough. We commonly recommend this combo of vitamins and minerals to new celiacs as adults. Thing is, you would want to consult with a pediatrician about dosage because of his young age. In time, with the gluten-free diet his villi will rebound but he may need a kick start right now with some high potency supplements.

      Hey yall!  New Celiac mama trying to help my son! My 3 year old was just diagnosed with Marsh 3b by a biopsy. We started this journey due to him being severely anemic (ferritin levels 1.2) He has had  3 iron infusions to help with the anemia. He has also been gluten free for a month. He is still having leg/ joint pain( he described a burning/ hurting) Im trying to help with his leg pain. He has trouble playing ( spending most days on the couch) He tells me 5/6X a day that his legs are hurting. Gets worse when walking or  playing. We have done OTC pain meds/ heating pad/ warm baths. What else can I do to help him be a kid.     Thanks for the help

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Not sure about the state of my osteopenia. I haven't had a DEXA scan done since about age 50 and I'm now 74. No fractures, though. I have significant curvature of the upper spine (kyphosis) but that was well along by the time I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost 25 years ago. So, I think it may have been arrested at least.

      Zinc is also a very important supplement when it comes to infection resistance.
