Today we are discussing gluten paranoia and how afraid of gluten do we really need to be when newly diagnosed. Here is the email I received:
Hey Gluten Dude. I'm so glad I found your site! I'm having a mental issue that I'm sure is not unique, so I hoped you could help. I feel like I'm slipping into "crazy" territory with the level of concern I have about gluten. I'm recently diagnosed and still getting the hang of it, but I find myself freaking out (on the inside) when my daughter puts her lunchbox on the kitchen counter...wasn't it also on the school lunch counter? And on the kitchen counter at her dad's (non GF) house?
But what about her blankie? It was at her dad's house! And her grandma's house! I cannot wash it every time she's at my house, but then it gets on the couch, and then I sit on the couch, and then I eat a snack OMG GLUTEN AHHHH! Or her clothes when I give her a hug. Or...or...or...
This is a constant brain cycle. Besides washing my hands before I eat, washing the counter before I prepare food, and keeping a GF kitchen/house (which I am), I'm doing what I can, right? Are there any good resources about chilling the fuck out for the anxious among us?
Tune in for the answer.
