Was Glutenated Yesterday And Now I'm Scared To Eat.

Something I ate for lunch must have had some cross contamination. The only thing I can think of is I had some roasted potatoes that had fried onions. I'm thinking the onions might have been thrown into a fryer to cook them quickly.

I feel better today - still a tad bit jittery and my stomach is a little tender but now I'm terrified to eat. I'm hungry and should have brought my own food to work today : (

I don't know what to do for lunch....

How about a deli and have them make a huge salad for you? Then give you oil and vinager? Or maybe there is a Chipotle around you and have them make you a rice bowl......maybe?

Or if you're scared of more cross contamination, how about just getting plain nuts and some fruit at a deli....a banana or apple so you know they are pretty safe......I know it's not that filling, but the nuts might help.....

I know that feeling well--its hard sometimes to get to the culprit! I hope you continue to feel better. I find that after being glutened, it helps if I eat something (safe and familiar in a small amount!). I don't know why, but if my stomach is empty, it's worse. :)

Ok to I decided on some mashed potatoes from Wild Oats (where all the ingredients are safely labeled) and a bag of Terra Chips. THere is a Chipotle a block from my NY office but unfortunately I had to come to my CT office today where it's not as easy.

Thanks guys. I just needed a tad bit of comfort, and knew you'd all been there.

I've had the potatoes in our cafeteria a bunch of times but these must have been a little different. I guess I got to comfortable thinking the potatoes where safe. I know it wasn't the omlette because all of the different ingredients they can add are fine and they make it right infront of you in an individual pan.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
