Kim Kardashian was "flour bombed" Thursday night -- that is, someone hurled a baggie of flour at her -- as she arrived on the red carpet to market the launch of her new fragrance.

Was Kim K Assulted if the flour contained Gluten??? Does one need to have DH to be assulted??? Others in the crowd were exposed to the flour too... IMHO, Flour Bombs are an assult on one's health and should be prosecuted...

I saw that, too. I thought how awful that would be for Celiacs. I don't have DH but I'm sure you would swallow some by it getting in your mouth & breathing it in. The News said Kim asked that the " thrower" not be prosecuted.

I have DH & just skin contact may cause an issue with me....

There are some that believe "no press is bad press."

I would not have willingly looked at another picture of K.K. if it weren't for a flour bomb.

My disgust for KK and her family aside, :rolleyes::P

I would DEFINITELY press charges against someone if they flour bombed me. Gluten is poison to me and I would make sure the "thrower" was made aware that it is considered dangerous and life-threatening to me. (I do not have DH myself, but I am put down and out for weeks from gluten CC)

If nothing else, I would tie them up in court and get some press for the cause! :lol:

I wonder why the person chose flour as the weapon of choice??? why not a cream pie? :)

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      Abscesses on legs

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.
