What is the one thing I know DD is intollerant to? Dairy.
What is the one thing I always warn newbies to be on the lookout for in foods? Sodium Caseinate.
What did I JUUUUST realize was in the seasoning packet of the rice noodle ramen I like? Sodium Caseinate.
I cannot believe how stupid I am. GF, egg free, blah, blah. I guess I never checked to see if there was any dairy or maybe I did but then they changed the recipe. In any case I have eaten probably 8 packs of this thai ramen over the months. The amount of SC in it is small but still....Man I hope I haven't been eating anything else stupid. Just when you think you've really got things covered....I am just kicking myself!!!!!!!!!!

Ooops! At least its only 8 packs and not 80!

So maybe you've just uncovered the mysterious crappy sleeping problems??

And don't worry... I have done stupid stuff like that more times than I care to admit.

When I first look at this thread I thought it said, "I'm a mormon." lol

Um, great. Me too. I guess I should learn how to read a little better.

Well, that was my first exciting thought but I don't know that I've been eating enough of it to make a significant difference with the sleep. I certainly hope she's not that sensitive but time will tell I guess. The last time I had the noodles was probably a week ago. And....with molar teething in full effect NOTHING is going to help with the sleep. I can't wait for these dang things to come in!!!!

FYI, I just found some corn-free, everything-free vegan boullian at WF that's really tasty. I put it over some ramen noodles and peas for my kids the other day and they loved it.

We've all been there!! It is amazing how detailed I can be at checking things, and then when I slip up, it is always something SO obvious and I feel like a dummy!

Want to hear my most recent

moment? I was looking for some cheap, non-antibacterial hand soap for the bathroom (which BTW, is really hard to find these days...). Found some at Target that smelled halfway decent... got home and realized that I just bought: MILK PROTEIN and honey soap.

Granted, DD's not going to be eating it... but still, I figured that would be a pretty stupid thing to be rubbing all over my hands before I touch her.

My biggest duh moment was when I saw the Butterball turkey on sale right before Thanksgiving, and I didn't even LOOK at the ingredients. I've been doing this for 8 years. You'd think I'd know better. Got home. Of course we couldn't have it. Gave it away on freecycle and bought a safe one. And when I got the ALCAT test back, I went out and bought safflower oil, then got home and realized it had Vitamin E (soy) in it. oops. I have many moron moments.

OMG- you should see the collection of oils that we have bought and then can't use... I think we have 5 "oops" bottles (added Vit E, bottled in facility w/peanut oil, etc.) just from the past 2 months...

I'm in good company I guess.
