<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I've been gluten-free most of a year now and, having helped write the FAQ, it came as no surprise to me as my reactions to contaminated food got more and more severe for less and less quantity, but during the last month I've had two episodes that I =think= are extreme reactions to mistakes in my diet, but I'm not sure. I don't recall anyone else ever describing anything similar. The first case, I think I got a big dose of wheat in some Indian food that (I asked three different sources) I was told was made with pure chickpea flour. (Either the mixing equipment may have been contaminated or it may have been fried with wheat-coated food. Or worse, it may have been cut with wheat flour.) About three hours after that meal, I was incapacitated with something that felt like the rapid onset of a bad flu: skin crawling, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, hot and cold flashes, the works. Worse still, later that night after a nap, my vision went all wonky (a glowing, wiggling bright line across my view out of one eye, and inability to focus on anything) and for days after I felt fuzzy around the edges, mentally and physically. Yuck. Just yesterday I experienced a milder form of the same thing. No diarrhea though, which would be odd for me in a contamination-reaction. Maybe I'm just catching lots of flus? Anyway, if any of y'all have had similar reactions, please email me privately, and I'll summarize to the list. Linda Blanchard [log in to unmask] Midland TX USA
