Glutened Just From Stitting In A Pizza Place?

I am in pain right now. I am pretty sure I got glutened. Earlier today I had a meeting at a pizza place. Obviously I didn't eat or even drink anything while there. Could it have been from inhaling flour in the air? I never considered my self hyper sensitive. Occasionally my two non celiac children will have poptarts or other gluten containing products in the house that they can fix with out my contacting those items, but it has been at least a month. There is no other way I could have been glutened in the last few days.

Perhaps from crumbs on the table, benches? I find pizza parlors frequently have greasy seats and tables. All it would take is touching a surface with a crumb...getting it on papers, purse, etc....and it making its way into your mouth.

Flour in the air is a possibility, especially if you were near the kitchen.

Or, you could have that nasty stomach bug I've had...if my son wouldn't have had it also I would have thought it was gluten.

I worked in a pizza place for 8 months before I went gluten free. Of course, I ate tons of pizza and pasta during that time, so I always joke that the restaurant caused my Celiac.

That said, yeah, it's definitely possible that you came into contact with flour without eating anything. If it was a small pizza joint and not a larger restaurant, more likely that there's flour in the air, or things aren't cleaned as well.

Or you've got PricklyPear's cold.

Hope you feel better soon!

Probably CC from every surface. Benches, chairs, tables. And flour in the air too. I once had a meeting at Panera Bread. I arrived early to scope out the seats. All covered in crumbs and I wiped them with a napkin the best I could. I decided not to even drink anything during the meeting as I could see flour dust on every table. I never noticed this before I went gluten free. I can see how easy it would be to get glutened in a pizza place. Hope you feel better soon.

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor?  Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector,  Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left?   Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand.    Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency.   No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

      This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
