Frustrated Traveler

Aack! I'm so aggrivated. I just hate to travel with my daughter, because every single time we travel, she gets glutened!

This time we went to see my brother, who is a minister. He took us to church. I packed my daughter some gluten-free cookies for snack time, and I told the Sunday school teacher, please don't let her use anything but Crayola crayons or Elmer's glue, and don't even let her TOUCH the other kids' cookies at snack time.

When I came to pick up my daughter after Sunday school, she had played with wheat-based real playdough, then the Sunday school teacher had cleaned her up with alcohol wipes! No! No! No! :angry:

On the seven hour drive home from this vacation, Annie cried for forty-five minutes because her tummy hurt, and then once we were home, she had diarrhea and stomach cramps for 24 hours. :(

I hate to live life in a bubble, but how do I master the problems associated with traveling? Everywhere we go, someone glutens my kid inadverdently! :huh:

Now we're preparing for a trip to go see the in-laws. Heavy sigh... I've packed up all the food I think we'll need: gluten-free flours, mixes, sauces, dressings, snacks, cookies, etc... What are some of the useful tips you other moms and dads can give me about traveling gluten-free with kids?

      Contaminated cooking oils

      By Jsingh · Posted

      I am asking for my six year old. It took us four months to figure out what was going on- a brand of extra virgin olive oil we were using for every meal. We changed the brand she instantly got better- from Gi to nephropathy to joint pain, to tinnitus to dry eyes. You name a symptom and she has it when glutened, so it's difficult to second guess when it's all so obvious. Anyway, two months later, i bought another bottle of the same brand, and the olive oil was sourced form 5 different countries, as opposed to one. It took exactly a month for her symptom to start all over again. And sure enough it was the oil! I am sorta getting tired of trying to get these "healthy" oils glutening her. Does anyone have any thought on cooking oils that they think for sure are not contaminated, or any certified glutenfee brands they suggest? I'd appreciate. At this point, I just need any oil that's free of contamination- healthy or otherwise. Healthier is better. But i'll tkae anything. Thanks

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      @CeliacPsycho246, You might try cutting out dairy.  Some of us react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as to gluten.

      Yep, the edit window times out very quickly. It's okay. I got a good laugh out of it.

      I wrote that by mistake and there is no where I can edit this.
