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 :-)

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
