I Still Mess Up!

So I know there’s so many people who accidentally eat something with dairy in it, or gluten, or carbs? (Is that still a thing?) Anyways, I’ve been gluten-free for 5 years and I still, without thinking, take a bite out of something for my son that’s not gluten-free. I also still assume things and don’t read ingredients because it seems obvious that something in the dairy free section would be dairy free when in fact it isn’t dairy free!
I really think there’s a bigger problem here with the way things are being marketed, but until the stores figure out their crap I’m gonna have to keep checking labels on EVERYTHING. Anyways, I found a “rice cheese” that looked like string cheese! So excited for my kids to experience this! So I buy it, get home, open the package, and decide to look at the ingredients ( finally!) and it says on the back it has casein in it. The fumes coming from my ears and a childhood memory taken from my kids! The AUDACITY to call yourself “rice cheese” but have dairy! Anyway, point is, check your labels people. Even I still mess up and that’s money down the drain that’s all my fault. Also, quick note of something that looks like dairy free cheese called “Go Veggie” that’s seen in a dairy free section. There’s two other varieties of that cheese with milk. So check yourself before you wreck your stomach. 😬 but really, don’t beat yourself up too bad. Slip-ups are going to happen at some point and you need to know that it happens to the best of us! I have said it too many times and I will say it more because even I can’t remember. Check. Your. Labels.
