ORIGINALLY POSTED ON "THE GF GF", DECEMBER 16, 2013. EDITED JULY 26, 2015
On Saturday, R and a few friends of ours ate at our local bar and grill (Flanny's) before going to True Music Festival.
I have had great experiences with Flanny's good before, but I had only ordered
At the first bite, I knew something was up with the tortillas. You just can't get that soft texture without flour. I ended up only eating that one whole bite and a bit of steak from the other tacos (it was on top of the lettuce).
Anyway, I ended up getting gluten exposed and missing 75% of the concert. I am still greatly feeling the effects on my stomach two days later. I'll also say that finding out you've been glutened at a music festival with port-a-potties is not an ideal situation.
I found this article on About.com that has a few tips to keep yourself comfortable after being gluten exposed. Read it and let me know what you think in the comments.
Anyone with other post-gluten tips feel free to share!
Love,
The GF GF

- Pub salad (steak, mixed greens, blue cheese crumbles, candied walnuts)
- Caesar salad (you know the drill. Dressing, cheese, lettuce)
- Sweet potato fries

In the two years since I originally wrote this post, I have found quite a few more methods for managing my post-gluten symptoms.
Activated charcoal can help to bind to the offending gluten, helping it to pass through your body without being absorbed. Ginger and peppermint teas calm nausea and help to keep you hydrated, which is important if you're sick to your stomach.
