Tonight About a half an hour after dinner I began to get horrible abdominal cramps. That is usually the first indication, now that I know what to look for, that I have eaten gluten. (followed by gas, swelling all over, restlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, and hives) Since I had cooked for myself, using tested ingredients I was sure it wasn't from the food.
Wrong
After I began to wonder how I could have eaten gluten, I realized that I had accidentally stirred the food with the wrong utensil. I grabbed a spatula that I had used to flip my husband's quesadilla made from flour tortillas.
The Lesson is: BE CAREFUL TO AVOID CROSS CONTAMINATION, even when preparing your own food.
So my poll question is: If your or a family member has a gluten allergy, have you "banned" wheat products from the house?
