history: Any time I order food, I count on the cook and server to make sure it's handled and cooked appropriately. When I go out to a restaurant_comma_ I order gluten free food items.  I have to trust that the cook and server take my request seriously.  If not_comma_ my food could be "gluten free" but cross contaminated with foods that aren't and still make me ill.
current: What kind of illness occurs if food is cross contaminated? I'm so sorry this happens to you.
next: If it's mild, just stomach pains for a few days.  If I were to say, eat a bun that was supposed to be gluten free and it was full gluten, my joints also inflame.  So you see it can affect more than just my stomach!
