I hope you are feeling better soon.

So why did you do it? You need to answer that in order to move forward.

You made your own gluten-free cake. Why did you feel the need to eat a bite of the gluten cake?

For that matter, why did you make your friend a gluten cake instead of a gluten-free cake that would be okay for you to eat too?

Stuff happens. Never forget how bad you feel.

I admit to still dreaming about eating food with gluten. No really, I do. Can we control our dreams? I don't know. The dream is like I eat something and then I'm in panic mode that I ate something with gluten.

Take care; hope you feel better soon.

I can honestly say I have never intentionally ingested gluten since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease two years ago. Trust me, it's certainly not becase I'm disciplined or I wouldn't be the yoyo dieter I've been all these years. It's because my GI doctor straight out told me how dangerous it was for me. For those with Celiac, I'd strongly suggest reading the book Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic by Dr.Peter Greene. I got more info in the first two chapters than out of all the searches I did on the internet. It really did help me to understand that for me, ingesting gluten is very similar to ingesting rat poison. Just not worth the damage being done. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

I've also been told that the damage from eating 1/16 of a slice of bread will take six weeks to heal. I've never intentionally eaten anything either although i know how hard it can be. Luckily i have found a fantastic cake shop that makes delicious egg, gluten, diary and soya free cakes - I'm treating myself to a muffins when I've lost 25 lbs.

I gave up gluten for the sake of my fiance who is highly allergic to it... Celiac disease is what I think it's called. If i so much as eat it and then kiss him he could feel a little sick so therefore it's hard to indulge in the foods that I loved as I love him more ...

I wish you the best on not eating any more gluten stuff

Awwww... what a gift to him! That's really amazing.

Ingesting even a crumb is enough to make some people extremely sick. There is no way you can put something in your mouth and chew it up and not swallow a tiny crumb of it afterward. Besides which, you will never wean yourself off of those gluten foods and may not have the willpower to spit it out afterward. I wouldn't suggest this!

You are not alone!!!! Let me give you a suggestion that a doctor friend gave me.. Sounds gross but it works. Take that bite of cake, chew it and enjoy it.. Then SPIT it out..... You still get the flavor but not the gluten in your system......I have done that many times when I wanted to enjoy the taste of something good.....Because it is the taste of the food that you want.....

Yeah, please don't do this. You will never get off those gluten foods!!

I, too, get sick if my husband eats something with gluten and I kiss him. And I SWEAR gluten free can be just as good as the bad stuff. My family has been iffy on my gluten freeness for years, but even my super picky Dad has agreed that my cakes, are pretty dang good . Devils food, vanilla, yellow cake, blueberry, apple, mulberry pie... it IS possible to create delicious tasting gluten free food. And every day they are coming out with more gluten free creations in the grocery store. When we started this journey, I couldn't find a decent loaf of gf bread. Now there's Kinnicknick, Udi's, and Rudi's - Trader Joe's has a store brand that's pretty decent.

There is no need to poison yourself.

The first couple of weeks are the hardest, after that it gets so much easier. I have not intentionally glutened myself since going GF. And believe me, it has been tempting!! Watching my husband eat my very favorite foods, and sharing with our youngest (our oldest is possible Celiac as well), its really freaking hard. But I know how bad I'll feel if I so much as stick my nose too close to smell it, and is it NOT worth it.

My kitchen is also GF because the risk of cross contamination is so bad. Husband has one bit of counter he can use for making sandwichesand his own toaster, but all my pots and pans, and my KitchenAid are GF. Flours get into everything, and its impossible to clean it all out.

I am not celiac but I have some sort of gluten intolerance and gave up gluten last week and after four days lost eight pounds of bloating and fluid retention. Makes me wonder what makes me eat it.
