Glutened


We visited my parents for the Holiday weekend. My mom is really amazing when it comes to helping out with gluten free. Before we came up she bought a gf biscuit mix and made rice noodles just for us. She really goes out of her way to make sure we eat good up here and especially make Kate feel normal. But accidents still happen. Kate got a hold of some Ritz crackers. From the crumbs on her shirt I know she ate at least one, but I have no idea if it was more. She denied it at first but later admitted to having one, so we'll just have to wait and see how sick she is.

About 3 hours after finding the evidence Kate said her tummy hurt. But it hasn't been anymore than just that. At least so far. Once she threw up after eating a handful of pretzels. Most of the time she has a tummy ache and then diarrhea the next day. TJ is usually doubled over in pain and stuck on the toilet for at least an hour (often in the middle of the night) if he has a gluten attack.

I guess Kate didn't eat much of the cracker because she slept through the night and just had some light diarrhea the next day, not bad at all!!
