About Me

Diagnosed with Celiacs:  3/2/2017

Gluten-Free since March 2017

Dairy-Free since November 2017

  1. It seems like your question might have been resolved, but I have been glutened testing perfume in Sephora (probably because it got into the air). During that process though I found a perfume I liked (L’Imperatrice, Dolce & Gabbana), so I went home and emailed the company and they got back to me after doing some research and said that it does not contain a...
  2. One of my friends has another celiac friend (acquaintance?) that has a dog trained to detect gluten (she trained it herself, I think she’s a vet) and apparently she rarely gets sick now!.
  3. With that being said, my reaction wasn’t severe because the contact with the gluten was minimal. I’ve also gotten the “gluten” gas when I tried another brand of powdered parrot food that supposedly didn’t have gluten directly in the ingredients, the dust in the air gets me. Again, no severe reactions. So, thinking about it, I’d change my answer to possible...
  4. It’s happened to me before when I opened a new bag of pellets for my parrot that I thought didn’t have any gluten grains in it (the prior bags didn’t make me sick). I instantly got “gluten” gas (my first symptom when I get glutened, happens immediately). The dust gets stirred up so I’d say it’s probable that it was the dog food!
  5. I’m not an expert, but I think it’s possible. I’ve been glutened from standing in the path of exhaust from a food truck (you know the air that blows out from the top?) and I’ve been glutened walking into makeup stores. If it was airborne when you were at the register, I would say it’s probably that you “ingested” it. I think particles can be carried into ...
  6. Whenever I see recycled-looking packaging, it makes me nervous. I even saw a “wheat bowl” in the grocery store the other day…at least it was clearly labeled 😅
  7. It’s funny because after I posted my response…I was thinking the same thing lol. “What if I just told this person that cigarette smoke is safe, but the ones that the contractors happened to be smoking were gluten-free and the ones smoked in their apartment weren’t.” For your sake I really do hope it’s not, smoke gets into everything 😭. Fingers crossed that y...
  8. Last year, the owner of the condo unit under mine had two contractors working every day for about two weeks and they chainsmoked literally back-to-back. My unit was flooded with smoke (sometimes it was so bad that I coughed and my eyes watered). I’m extremely sensitive to gluten (including airborne, touching surfaces, etc) and did not get sick from it at a...
  9. Have you checked your skincare/personal care products?
  10. I hadn’t heard of Cargill until now, but I’m wondering the same thing. Hopefully companies will know where their flour is sourced from and will issue recalls on any of their items that were impacted. I saw a lot of people mentioning the concern about this potentially causing contamination in 100% gluten free factory facilities, which could take forever to ...
  11. An article from Gluten Free Watchdog: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/product-recall-millions-of-pounds-of-cargill-soy-flour-have-been-recalled-because-of-gluten/
  12. In case people haven’t seen it, I wanted to share this FDA recall report for soy flour and soy protein that contained over 20ppm of gluten (based on my understanding): https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/?Event=92013 You can find the recalls at the bottom of this page by filtering with the recalling firm name “Cargill, Inc Corporate Hea...
  13. Do you know what the ingredients were in the polish you used? I use the Sinful brand nail polishes and haven’t had any issues with them (I had researched beforehand to make sure they were safe). My friend who is a nail artist told me that some gel nail polishes have gluten in them too.
  14. Oh the animal feed had both oats AND wheat, not just oats. But yeah I found out that I react to oats because I would get sick when I ate cheerios and kind bars, which was disappointing. I also got dermatitis herpetiformis rashes when I used a hair color product that had oats in it (also disappointing). Granted, after those instances I’ve been too paranoid t...
  15. Yeah this is exactly how I discovered that the pellets I had switched my parrot to that I thought didn’t contain any wheat or oats either did, or there was some cross-contamination. I opened a new bag and I guess the puff of the dust blowing up at my face was enough for my body to start immediately reacting. Finding purchasable healthy parrot food that d...
