Default SO my gluten free kid ate like 49,000 twinkies..

Okay yea not that many but...
I bought one of those big sams club packs that had a variety of Twinkies and those cream filled chocolates cakes. I'm forgetting the name. Basically a April is DH birthday month treat. I expected the box to go for at least a good month..
However the day after we discovered at least 12 of the twinkies and some of the chocolates missing. We asked but didn't get an answer. I figured we'd lost a bunch to the neighborhood kids... Was disappointed but didn't really dwell over it.
Today DH and I found a bag with like 18 empty wrappers in Margaret's room, this is our gluten free kid and generally dairy free but I'm not sure if these have any.. I confroter her at first she said she gave them to her friends. (I believed her) However after a while she admitted she had eaten them.

No putting aside the dishonesty, and all that which was and is being addressed I'm now left with another thought.. Why didn't eatting 18 pure gluten items over about a two week span of time not basically land her in the hospital.

Could it be that it IS time to retest her? Over the past few weeks she has been complaining of stomache aches she was even vomiting a bit yesterday.. It wasnt enough to stop her from playing but it has been a thing lately. I'm not sure if it was a gluten reaction or just too many sweets.. Her reactions before have been more serious from explosive diarrhea to huge mood swings rashes etc.. Honestly she had nothing big other than her saying her tummy hurts.

I'm kind of baffled...

I am following along. My 14yo who has been GF since she was 2 was discovered eating plain white bread yesterday. She insists she is fine but it’s the mood swings and inability to cope that often are her biggest symptom last few times she had minor exposure but she’s 14 and has hormone stuff going on so injust dont know!

Interesting. My gf kiddo completely monitors herself -- gluten makes her hurt so badly that she has good motivation to avoid it.

Personally I think I'd probably do a re-test. Not having to avoid it for medical reasons, even if you continue to choose to avoid or limit it on your own, could make things easier.

The ongoing stomache ache would be enough to convince me she shouldn't be having it, even if the symptoms aren't as severe as usual.

Could it be that the gluten in Twinkies is so highly refined and processed that her body doesn't quite recognize it? (I'm half kidding)

I've actually been wondering that. I know some with wheat allergies that can handle say wonder bread ok but a slice of a good quality whole wheat bread forget it.
As for the stomachs ache I'm still not sure stating that much sugar might make anyone sick.. She also isn't used to gluten even if she is no longer violently reacting her body still could be adjusting.
