Well, I went to my husbands family for Christmas dinner and they made a meal that had barley in it. We didn’t know until after I had finished it so I ate a lot :( anyone has gone through this and has a positive thing to say? I am extremely terrified and worried I really don’t want to miss this baby it is our rainbow baby. I can’t even begin to explain how upset we are. We checked multiple times :( . Please help .

Welcome to the forum, Erika.ON!

Not sure what you are referring to when you say "we checked multiple times". The baby or the in laws' food?

"anyone has gone through this and has a positive thing to say?" Are you looking for commentary on the effect this "glutening experience" may have had on the baby you are carrying or how to handle the the situation with our in laws?

Hi, I meant with them and then food to make sure it was gluten-free. And they only realized it wasn’t three hours after I had eaten it :( .

Consider creating an information sheet and giving it to them. Just sounds like they need a little education and coaching as to what gluten is and where it is found. You might also check with the cook beforehand when family gathering plans are being made to go over the menu with him/her and ingredient lists. It needs to be handled graciously so that they don't put up walls.

Honest mistakes are sometimes made. At least your in laws are making an effort to accommodate your dietary needs it sounds like. They just need help in understanding the nuances of preparing gluten free food. Your experience highlights one of the more challenging aspects of celiac disease and that is the dangers of eating outside your own home where you don't have total control of food preparation. We all face this.

Barley is 8% gluten. Wheat is 85% gluten. With luck you may not be activated yet against the gluten in barley. Or your natural stomach acid neutralized the small amount and your vitamin D is high enough to dampen the response of the Celiac genes.

Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats and are collectively referred to as “gluten.”  ...The most immunodominant T-cell epitope is from α gliadin, although T-cell cross-reactivity against gluten-derived, secalin-derived, and hordein-derived peptides have been confirmed...The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, coeliac disease. What is gluten?

Oh thank you so much!! Yes I haven’t felt sick thank goodness 🙏🏻. And I ate a smaller amount than I thought too because it was only present on one of the dishes . Thank you for that info I didn’t know it and really appreciate it .

I’m sorry this happened! I’ve heard a lot of stories about pregnant women who didn’t know they had celiac and ate gluten the whole time and the baby was fine. The baby is protected inside it’s little sac so good chance everything is okay :)

      Receommendations for kids multivitamins

      By cococo · Posted

      My kids take Whole Earth & Sea Kid’s Multivitamin as per our naturopath’s recommendation. They’re chewable but can be crushed and added to juice or food. No gums or citric acid. GMO free and gluten free too.

      DR1-DQ5 neurological symptoms

      By Murilo P · Posted

      It has been a while and I would like to post an update. The hallucinations are completely gone. Thanks to one bottle of B1 as benfotiamine and one of B3 as niacin, both taken together. I will buy more. The other symptoms are still being treated. Now I can already affirm that the symptoms are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. Yet I do have hopes that we will achieve the remission of BPD symptoms over the next couple of years. I think her issues come from this chain of events: Nutritional deficiencies at birth, due to being twin and having low birth weight. Low levels of Omega-3 during pregnancy and first years resulting in weak HPA axis development (predisposition for BPD). Consumption of gluten before age of 2 leading to predisposition for gluten sensitivity as adult Excessive consumption of gluten and sugar as an adult, leading to dysregulation of microbiome. Two severe gut infections due to lack of healthy bacteria, followed by hospitalization and use of antibiotics Poor diet after using antibiotics, worsening even more the gut health and leading to anorexia nervosa. Worsening of gluten sensitivity, then resulting in bouts of anxiety and depression, especially if added with sugar. Different forms of therapy haven't shown effectiveness yet, but I think it's because the issues must be treated with nutrients first, so we are taking that more seriously now and focusing on nutrients that are especially easy to digest and absorb. She still has intense gluten sensitivity, but I have hopes that this can go away after the body is completely re-nourished with the missing nutrients and then gets a few years to recover. Notes: The hallucinations begun after we tried Ayahuasca low dosage. I guess it was the result of a bad combination: "DR1 genes + B1 deficiency + Ayahuasca". I'd guess that would not have happened if it wasn't for the vitamin deficiencies. She has been fully in non-gluten diet, except for accidents that happen sometimes due to her food compulsion. I have been giving more importance to Omega-3, which is very effective in emotional regulation for BPD. Recently bought special products from Omnilife which use special "micelles" to promote quick absorption close to 100% rate. - "Micelles are tiny, spherical particles formed when amphiphilic molecules, like those in soap, aggregate in a liquid, typically water." Currently buying special whey protein which is hydrolyzed (easy to digest). I think we have underestimated the importance of proteins, which is not usually refereed as part of mental health treatment. She is pregnant again, but doing well. 🙂 Thanks for all of the help!

      Hi, My six year old has been complaining of tingling in the legs off late. This used to be pretty common thing with her pre-diagnosis and a couple of weeks after the diagnosis as well. And now it is back again. I am not sure if it's a glutening symptom, or she could be deficient in something. I got her Pure Encapsulations' multivitamin capsule, which she is ok taking, but she began reacting to cellulose in the capsule. I don't know if I can just break the capsule and she could drink it in a smoothie. I haven't tried that yet, so do not know whether it'll be palatable to her.  If any of you know of a CGF multivitamin that do not contain any gums and are preferably free of citric acid, I'd greatly appreciate. Thank you.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.
