Mission Trip Gone Wrong....

So my husband signed up at church to take the girls to a food bank to pack food. He takes them away on Thursdays so I can do a women's Bible study. Anyway...he comes home and my celiac child has cereal all over her. Corn pops. So I am thinking everything is fine until he tells me it has wheat flour in it. (I have never looked because I hate them) They packed LOOSE cereal in a zip lock bag for 3 hours. It was in 8 foot tall silos! He moved her to just zip the bags but it is in her hair, on her clothes. I sent her to the shower asap. She has no symptoms so I won't know for sure but I am 99.9% sure she got some cc today! Maybe not even CC...maybe the whole shabang. UGGG!!! Then to make it even worse, they walked in the house with it in the treads of their shoes. I am about to go crazy!

I totally understand your frustration and how it must feel ;-( Feels like world war is striking in my home if anything contains gluten makes it through the door. Don't stress.. it already happened and there's nothing you can do to change that. Perhaps next time it would be a good idea to check what type of food is involved before someone in the family is involved and gets it all over them.

Are your floors wood or carpeted?

This all means that you're a good mother though, and your daughter will be find because she has an extra careful mom like you :-)

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By nanny marley · Posted

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
