#notwheatfree

On Friday I went to the Goldfinger gig at The Globe in Cardiff.  In all gigs I have been to, I pretty much drink water as I get sweaty real quick and need to keep up my water intake.  What I usually have is a pint of tap water as its free and gets you the water you need.  Most gigs seems to have plastic disposable glasses but some places have the thicker plastic ones or even those flimsy ones.

The cups that were used looked to be the classic disposable pint cups but, after having my second pint of tap water, I found that I had a slight gluten attack.  Its possible they were re-suing the cups again as they were pretty good quality and the attack wasn’t as bad as the Toby Carvey nightmare but it was enough for me to have a bad stomach, stomach cramps, headache and fuzziness.  Have you ever tried to have a Number 2 at a Gig? Wasn’t fun :/

I cant blame the club as I should have thought about the use of cups in a club and that it would be used for Beer etc. and neither does the club advertise its gluten free.

Nevertheless , going forward, I MUST ensure I have bottle water in the future to stop this happening again and something else to think about while out and about.

Even though I was glutened, It was an awesome gig and had a bunch of fun and I will be going to more gigs at The Globe as it is a nice intimate location for bands.
