The "oops" Moment - 5 years in waiting

Have you had one yet? That complete "oops" moment where you realized you accidentally just poisoned yourself. Not because of anyone else messing up or not being careful. You didn't get glutened because you went to a restaurant, family members house, or took that fruit even though you knew it was probably not safe. No, not that. Because those are all a rational decision, a clear choice to trust someone else with your food all the while knowing that they will probably make you sick. You give them power because you love them, or you're tired, or you just really want to feel just once that you can be normal and eat something like everyone else at the party.

No. This moment is the one where you were careful, you baked your pizza on the top rack in a special pan. Your wonderful husband was so careful, washing his hands, doing everything right. And then you pull out the pizza and you can't tell whose is whose because yours has a thicker crust than his (warning light number 1) but you ask him to clarify and he says it's yours so you put it on your plate and dig in. You're thinking about how wonderful it would be if this thicker crust pizza tasted good because you've never really loved thin crust and it would just be amazing to have this option. You eat a slice. It's good. Too good. You remember that it's an Amy's pizza and Walmart likes to mix their stuff in with all the gluten free food just to confuse people like us. You walk into the kitchen to check the box. First ingredient? Wheat flour. OOPS

So, as a warning Walmart likes to trick us so always check the box.
