Thanks for sharing your story. I would have never thought to ask if guacamole contained gluten.  I think I've been getting a little lax about checking foods, and this was the wake-up call that I needed.  I hope that you're feeling back to your Gluten-Free self very soon!<br/><br/>

We went to a celebration dinner when my husband found a new job (about 2 years ago),  and we went to a specific restaurant that always made my Gluten-Free pasta to order. Turns out they made my meal with regular pasta... Half a bowl and a month later, as I was packing up and moving I was still sick - all the usual symptoms were lingering. <br/><br/>

I just spent four days with my family who could not understand what it is like to be a celiac.  I am the ONLY diagnosed one in the family.  I would have to walk away because they were shoving gluten laden food in my face and on my plate. (needless to say, I used several plates.)  I understand the recovery time for consuming gluten, and it sounds like I am not the only one who can suffer so much from such a small amount.

How can I get my family to understand that I cannot eat their comfort food, delicious as it may be?  

Again thank you for sharing, I had been feeling quite alone in my gluten free world.  It was nice to have the confirmation that I am not alone.

I've had a few VERY BAD reactions from putting orange juice or lemon aid in my stomach after eating questionable items. Usually they don't upset me at all, but I have ballooned (to the point where the waist band of my otherwise loose fitting pants were hurting me so much.), and I think its just from your gut being mad already, that adding citrus really kicks it up a notch. Good luck.<br/><br/>

A great recovery product (that I just commented on in response to the article by Janet) is called Glutagenics by Metagenics.  It may only be available through health care practitioners - I buy mine from my chiropractor.  It contains glutamine, licorice root and aloe and seriously works!  Other products that aid in restoring the intestinal lining include omega-3 oils and zinc supplements.  I vary my sources of those.  Additionally, a good probiotic helps wonderfully.  The one that works best for me is called Lacidofil by Xymogen.  Be careful of probiotics, many of them are not gluten and dairy free (I have to stay dairy free, too).
Finally, for the persistent nausea that I get, ginger root works wonderfully.  My favorite brand actually comes from England, but there has to be a local brand that comes in a capsule form and has the following similar ingredients:  550mg ginger root, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide.  
Here's hoping to a speedier recovery!

As it turns out, there was a 'seasoning' packet mixed in that contained 'modified food starch' and in my case, that's all it took. I literally at 2 Tbsp. of the stuff, but clearly that was enough. I've seen these packets used in other guacamoles and at parties, etc... so I warn you all to be extra diligent when it comes to this type of 'fun food.' Thanks for all of your great comments.

You literally have to check every single thing that goes into your mouth...I find it better just to not eat out at all even though they say it is gluten free. It still messes with me. I also know how annoying it is when you just want to get the gluten out of your system because you feel like crap but it only takes longer that way. Hope your feeling back to your gluten free feeling! Good luck.<br/><br/>

I am struggling with getting my protein in and am scared sometimes to eat anything because I don't want to eat the wrong thing.
I'm curious, why can't you eat at a salad bar if you are eating things like shredded chicken or raw broccoli or artichoke hearts or anything that is on your diet but in a separate bin, why can't you have that at a salad bar?<br/><br/>

It was recently suggested to me that I may have a gluten sensitivity. I had somewhat dismissed it, but had taken several days off. Then, without thinking, I had some. Holy Cow!! I went into anxiety overdrive and bordered on panic. When I did a little research I discovered that was probably from the gluten. Reading your story and description of symptoms makes me believe that was the cause. I had been doing so well prior to the 'gluten incident'. Thanks again!<br/><br/>

I too was poisoned on the 23rd of August, at a restaurant I had eaten at. I am extremely angry about it, as I was very explanatory to the waitress, and even asked the server twice to make sure and was assured that the food did not contain any gluten, and no wheat either. This was the 2nd time I had eaten at the restaurant, the first time there was not a problem. The 2nd visit, the waitress got angry that I was ordering so specifically. I want to do something about it, and have spoken to several lawyers, but none are familiar with Celiac. The depression part is hitting me hard right now, and it is causing major complications for my life, I have been so sick and still cannot eat, or wake up. Yesterday I could not walk. I have been so careful, and for this to happen to me because of a pissed off waitress...<br/><br/>

I really needed this today...my friends and family are sympathetic, but because it is an 'internal' illness, they can't understand the level of misery we go through. I was feeling very sorry for myself today as I am very sick this weekend resulting from eating gluten. I was also wondering if I was the only one who averages 2-4 weeks of recovery time, and a pretty consistent delivery of Symptoms. I'm in the gut wrenching pain part now, which is about 1.5 weeks in, and is very painful.... Eeek. 

Maybe you can help me... I travel with my job, and eating can be a very big challenge. They just don't realize the degree to which North America peppers everything with gluten protein. We have a culture of Cheap and efficient solutions, and gluten protein seems to be number one on our list of how to make things work for consumers. When I travel in North America, I have a difficult time helping the staff 'get' what gluten is, and often end up with gluten episodes when I count on them to help me eat properly. Does anybody travel with work, and if so, what solutions do you use? I can't bring food as I stay in hotels, and the airlines won't usually let me bring food on board. Airports do not have gluten free food generally speaking and hotels are largely ill equipped to accommodate me. Solutions would be very welcome....<br/><br/>

Typically, I'm home 2 weeks each month and traveling the other two. I've found: 

1. A handful of nuts & dried fruit can actually be a whole meal. There are loads of dried, portable, easy foods to bring with me. Sure, I get sick of them, but I focus on my work, not my meals. All I need is decent fuel to keep me going.

2. Eat less. I keep reminding myself that my stomach is only as big as my fist -- I really don't need a massive plate sized portion of anything. It's hard to ignore others around me and the large portions that most people eat, but once my body got accustomed to eating less, I didn't have to worry so much about finding food while traveling. But for trips that are more than 2 weeks long I carry a suitcase with just food (crackers, mixes, cans of soup even). As long as I check the bag and there's no fresh produce it's been fine. (I do international travel, several EU countries, NZ & AU, Israel, China, etc.) No problem yet! The only time I raised eyebrows with TSA is when I had several bags of fresh food (domestic flight). I don't eat much meat, but my daughter (celiac) is a carnivore. I had several large bags of deli meats. They thought it was odd and once I took a step back I realized it was pretty odd for an 8 yo to be carrying notebooks, toys, and several pounds of deli meat. Ha.

3. I often remind myself that since I get less pleasure than most from my meals, I need to treat myself in other areas of life. I'm not complaining.<br/><br/>

I feel like this is some kind of bad joke not being able to eat what I love. Does anyone get very cranky in the first stage?<br/><br/>

People that get and have experienced what happens to us!!! It was just as you all have mentioned, the nausea, terrible abdominal pain, trips to the bathroom, for two full days with today spent just to try to get recovered from it all.  Missed my husbands' work party tonight and had to call out at work when I was to cover court today.  Not sure that anyone at work or family-gets it.  I was thinking that your term "poisoned" might have been a bit too strong but seems I have grown used to feeling like this after an incident and felt fated to just accept the fact that I cannot trust the people that tell me there is no wheat or gluten in what they cooked. (Company party-ate the corn tortilla chicken enchiladas that she 'forgot' had cream of chicken soup in them.)  But during the that first night, I actually thought I could die.  That  qualifies as poisoning even if it was unintentional.  I cannot go back to work and tell her that she is reason that I missed three very important days at work? Or should I? <br/><br/>

Here I am, after being 'glutened' a week ago, almost fully recovered from my symptoms. I am so sorry some of you guys have to endure this for three/four WEEKS! I just wanted to say that I am so happy to have stumbled upon this support network. Best wishes to you all.<br/><br/>
