Last week we took a trip to IKEA for stuff for our schoolroom and the trailer (we're picking up a camping trailer in a week or two). I thought the steamed veggies and side salad would be safe for lunch, but apparently not. I got glutened. This was the first time in at least 5 months, though I think it's been even longer. LMS isn't a big fan of salad, so she didn't have any, and she only ate a couple pieces of steamed veggies before deciding she was full. In any case, she didn't seem to have any reactions, thank goodness.
I've read about people's reactions when they get glutened, but never had a similar reaction till now. On the drive home, the pain started in my stomach, and then the cramping and bloating started. Not fun at all.
Instead of being productive, I spent that evening curled up on the couch trying not to think about the pain in my stomach. Luckily for me, I felt mostly fine in the morning. Others have reported feeling like crap for several days and having to stay close to the bathroom, so I got off lightly.
