There Was Something With The Air

ok so i am making dinner couple nights ago. cooking on the stove top. my mom is putting together this cake just beforehand; when i walk in to get things going in fact. starved and radically unconcerned, i go, "what the heck is that?" referring to this metal pan full of what looks like awful yellowy D. i swear. "somebody have an accident right in the pan, ma?" she's jovial and the greatest of all angels, "no that is going to be pineapple upside down cake. i've yet to add this mix here." as that she whirred the finishing touches to a large silver bowl of powdered kryptonite. no big deal, right. i shrug it off and prepare things on the counter the other side of the sink. i've made food before when she depressed my very soul with such things on the other side. she shoves it in the oven sets the digital timer, and begins other things. by the time i get everything set and rolling in the flames, ecstacy just starts pouring through the vents, the slits acroos the top of the oven door, pouring towards all heavenly imagination that my broccoli and cauliflower, boiling away, that i keep rotating, flipping; that plain ole chicken breasts with salt diminish in appeal; pouring up through them vents and ineffably into my sinuses all moist and warm; so i begin to pretend my food is something with the air. my cauliflower take on this sweetness, and the chiken breast will be lemony and fruity. i take deep, natural breaths, overcome, yet disciplined enough to ignore temptation; to understand what i won't be able to chow. and what my meal will really taste like. it was a struggle, but i'm stronghearted and faithful as my mother.

that night, in fact before i could eat my food, i could tell something was wrong. i contemplated many things until now. weighed many factors as i tossed and turned terrible reflux, sour stomach. and all the next day afterward, i assumed my healing took a slight negative turn, since i actually had almost a week of relief, of turning solid. but nothing. wanted such relief and removal of whatever burned, considering that it could have been something else. whatever made that tremendous air into just awfulness. but would not move, save an irritated bladder i had just brought under control as well. the factors dawned on me the following night, last night when it seemed to dissipate, the drained broken feeling vanished and something finally fed me again. it dawned on me what i had done. and this morning relief came out like a pan of well...so i came here and asked everyone what they thought. is it possible? and tried to make the vexed day the best i could as i vaguely stared this grueling grumbled process over.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
