My Ah-ha Moment

Yesterday marked day #4 of a gluten-ish headache and quite frankly, I was done.

I have narrowed down the culprits to three suspects.

My workplace changed dispenser soap.  Last week I noticed large clear containers marked "Soup."  :)  The container held the same pale shade of soap that is now in our dispensers.  Unlabeled.  Suspect #1 "Soup."

Yesterday in my quest to Google every possible thing in my life, I learned my beloved Woolite laundry soap now contains crushed pieces of hydrolyzed wheat.  I, then, Googled when was the wheat added.  No date.  Suspect #2.

Last week I was given a bottle of Mrs. Bronners lavendar hand soap.  In times past this has not bothered me...however my gluten search lead me to find this particular fragrance may or may not contain gluten.  She has others that have it so her facility is not gf.  Suspect #3-ish.

After work I drove straight to Meijer to buy clearly marked gluten-free laundry detergent.  Yeaaaaaah 7th Generation brand.  I do not even care that it was $1 more.  I, also, purchased the same brand * clearly marked gluten-free* hand soap.  3 bottles.  One for work and 2 for home.

In my quest to figure this all out, I learned that some nail polish can have hydrolyzed wheat.  Not. Even. Kidding.  I have purged the gluten from nail polish.  I shall now be an Essie, Wet-n-Wild, and Piggy Polish gal.  I did send an email to OPI as I want to confirm one of the gluten-free blog posts about certain OPI being gluten-free.

Call me paranoid.

Call me crazy.

I hate having a 4 day migraine.  Plus I know exactly what this gluten is doing to my poor digestive tract.

So much for 2 weeks of gluten-free.  Now I must reset the...4 months 'til I feel fabulous clock!!!

It looks like it'll be December 17, 2016.  Just in time for Christmas!!!!!
