Shared Dip With Daughter, Did This Make Me Sick?

I am new to gluten-free. I thought I was doing good until I got very sick after dinner. I went over every thing I ate & it seemed to be fine. I did share my yum yum sauce with my daughter who had McDonald's chicken nuggets. Could that be it? Really?

You probably got some crumbs from the nuggets in the sauce. The nuggets are not gluten-free.

Yep, positive, it's the sauce you shared with your daughter.

Yep!  Next time make a rule that nobody dip gluten stuff in the dip.  Ask for a little plate or bowl and share it that way.  I can remember getting very angry with my mom many, many times because she would break off a piece of her Chalupa and dunk it in the bean dip.  And then daughter would be like...  "Thanks!  Now I can't eat that!"  But my mother would never get it.  Never.  Some family members would also make fun of us for getting upset when they passed things with gluten or nuts (another problem for daughter) over her plate.  They do not believe that a crumb or two of something would hurt her.  So I tried this...

 

They all take prescription meds.  So I would ask them to describe to me, the tiniest pill that they had.  Or if they had it with me, to show it to me.  And they would.  And then I'd say...  "Okay!  Why don't you give that to Angela!?  It's tiny.  Tiny won't hurt her.  Right?"  And they would give me a look like I was crazy.  I thought that analogy would work.  It didn't.

 

All it takes is a speck of something if you have a problem with food.  I can't tell you how many times I've been eating smoething, only to find a crouton in the middle to the bottom of my salad, or even a shred of cheese.  Dairy is an issue for me.  A couple of times I picked that shred of cheese out plus all of the salad leaves around it.  And I still got sick.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
