Hi

Yesterday my husband made his Christmas bread that he traditionally makes every year.I've been gluten intolerant for about 1 year now and gluten free for 3 months...so yesterday i stayed out of the kitchen of course because of all the flour etc....he cleaned all the counters etc...during the night i woke up around 3ish and had bad cramps..could i have been glutened with just the flour dust around the air.

Does this make sense to anyone....the smell of fresh bread was absolutely yummy but...is it possible.

need an answer please :( can we be that sensitive......

Did you add anything to the turkey supper? Butter? maybe it had been used for the bread? (double dipped?). Did you touch any knobs on drawers, then touched what you ate? Think of sponges used for washing dishes, ANYthing like that. I never used to think of those things until I had ruled everything out and it dawned on me. It could be that you "inhaled" flour?? Hubby may have to change his "traditions" in lieu of YOUR better health! Yes, we can be that sensitive.

Tell Hubby to find a friend's house or go to the in-laws next year to make his bread, or adapt it to a gluten-free recipe so he can share it with you.

I don't even allow non-gluten-free flour in the house anymore. A loaf of bread is allowed (in its own area with its own Toxic Toaster). TV dinners for the non-gluten-free people are allowed. Regular crackers are allowed occasionally but most of the time we all eat corn chips or rice crackers. And that's pretty much it. Flour is just too hard to contain.

Maybe if you post your husband's recipe here some of the smart bakers on this board can suggest how to adapt it to be gluten-free.

Toxic Toaster, love it!

You can always arrange to go away for a week during the time he wants to bake. Have a cleaning service come to clean the kitchen top to bottom before you come home. Other wise he should learn to do his speciality baking with gluten free items. We'd love to have him share his recipes if they are gluten free.

It sounds tough but it for a health reason. We did not ask for this disease.

Ditto. I use pre-made gluten pie crusts for T-day pies (we used to make all the family pies from scratch 5-6 pies) and don't allow any wheat flour. Hubby complains that the store-bought pied crusts aren't as good but if he wants to make them he can go to his mom's.

As far as other gluten, I allow flour tortillas, frozen pizza, frozen mac-n-cheese, burritos etc. plus an occasional bagel and wheat thins when daughter comes home from college. Otherwise everythng is gluten-free. No flour in the air or on the counters. My family members are not very neat and would get crumbs/flour everywhere.

Oh no! Sorry to hear! I think it might have been an xc problem. Inhalation maybe? In the future, if you have to make your food at the same time (or close after) all that NASTY flour is in the air, keep tupperware closed until the microwave and then just crack it. Once it's done in the micro....clamp it shut and RUN. ;p The funny part....I actually do this!

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By lsky · Posted

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.

      Does anyone have bleeding after eating gluten? You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/
