Welcome, @anya22, Can you tell us more about your diet? How much gluten containing foods did you eat? What kinds of gluten containing foods did you eat? What has your high calorie diet consisted of? Some gluten containing foods contain less gluten than others. Cakes and cookies may have less gluten than something like deep dish pizza. Glad you're here! -
