You guys, I just have to complain to somebody...

I was so sick last night.... :( No details....too gross.

Let's just say it involved me and the "throne"....chills, dry heaves, upset stomach, basically, the works.

Honestly, at one point, I just curled up on the bath mat, too weak to make it back to the bed. :blink:

Way too much drama for 4:00 am in the morning. :rolleyes:

The only unusual food that I ate yesterday was a taco salad from Wendy's which I thought was gluten-free :blink: ...maybe my tummy was having other probs. besides gluten though.

All I know is I was Sooo sick! :(

Anyway, enough about all of that. I just needed to vent. :rolleyes:

Thanks for reading.

I know how awful you must feel. I hope you feel better soon. Just try to keep it light food on your stomach until it gets back to normal. Try drinking teas like peppermint too...that can really settle your stomach :D

Even if you didn't eat the salsa, fast food places are among the worst for cross contamination.

Oh no... I'm sorry... :( I know how awful that must be.

I wouldn't trust those salads again :angry: especially if the salsa has gluten :blink:

Thanks everyone for your well-wishes! :)

I am feeling better. I didn't eat much yesterday. I tried to give my tummy a break...and made sure I only ate things I was SURE were gluten-free. :rolleyes:

Good grief! I haven't felt that bad in awhile. Thank you everyone for your understanding. ;)

Blessings. -Julie

      Celiac disease symptoms

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken...

      Thanks for your insight. I've been eating wheat bread at least 5 times a week for several months. I've been eating chicken or eggs 5 days a week for at least a year.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Churro! Several things need to be said here: 1. Your physician neglected to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, the results of other IGA antibody tests specific to celiac disease will not be valid. A total IGA test should always be ordered when checking for celiac...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Last month I got blood tests done. My iron level was at 205 ug/dL and 141 ug/dL iron binding capacity unsaturated, 346 ug/dl total iron binding capacity, 59 transferrin % saturation. My ferritin level was at 13 so I got tested for celiac disease last week. My tTG-IgA is <.05, DGP IgA is 4.9 and ferritin level is 9. My doctor didn't order other celiac disease...

      Celiac support is hard to find

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.

Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Churro! Several things need to be said here: 1. Your physician neglected to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, the results of other IGA antibody tests specific to celiac disease will not be valid. A total IGA test should always be ordered when checking for celiac disease with blood IGA antibody test. You should ask your physician to order a total IGA test. 2. Iron deficiency anemia can also give distorted IGA celiac disease blood antibody tests. 3. If you were already on a gluten-free diet or had been restricting gluten consumption for weeks/months prior to the antibody testing blood draw, then the test results would not be valid. Accurate celiac disease blood antibody testing requires you to have been consuming significant amounts of gluten for a significant time period leading up to the blood draw. It takes time for the antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. 4. Your low iron levels and other symptoms could be due to celiac disease but could also be caused by lots of other medical issues.

      Last month I got blood tests done. My iron level was at 205 ug/dL and 141 ug/dL iron binding capacity unsaturated, 346 ug/dl total iron binding capacity, 59 transferrin % saturation. My ferritin level was at 13 so I got tested for celiac disease last week. My tTG-IgA is <.05, DGP IgA is 4.9 and ferritin level is 9. My doctor didn't order other celiac disease tests. In 2021 I was dealing with severe constipation and hemorrhoids. I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I still deal with hemorrhoids but only about once a week. Also, I've been dealing with very pale skin for at least 5 years. Do you think I have celiac disease?
