Glutening, Food Poisoning Or Both?

I did many things wrong in the past 48 hours. 2 days ago, i made lemon pie, i ate 1/4 of it that same night, other quarter in the morning.. i felt like it was too much but didnt feel bad,  i shared it with my family and wasn't clear enough on how to avoid cross contamination.. then i was angry, because they probably glutened my lemon pie, i really wanted to eat some more so i ate around the parts they probably touched (i ate another quarter).

 

Some hours later i started feeling terrible, that was yesterday and i still feel bad. I know both things i did were bad, i shouldnt have eaten 3/4 of that lemon pie, but it was delicious xD 

 

I dont know how to recognize my glutened symptoms, so i dont know if i was glutened, or i ate too much lemon pie (probably this is the reason) or what, but i dont feel bad enough to go to the ER. 

 

Is it normal to feel bad after eating too much lemon pie?  I feel so dumb..

If I ate that much lemon pie, I might have some issues, too.  But it tasted sooooooo good!   :D

Ha, I thought the same thing Karen did.  But mine would be pecan pie... mmmmmmm.  It really is hard to tell what the culprit is in these situations.  If you really want to be sure, you could make a 100% gluten-free lemon pie after a few weeks has passed, and see what happens when you eat half of it  ^_^  And of course, this time of year is when things like stomach bugs and such are going around, so this may be one of those times where you just never know.  In the future for pies, as long as it isn't runny, you can cut out a portion for the gluten eaters and put it in another container (or vice versa), and hide your gluten-free portion from their thieving grasp.

Laura, that's a very good idea xD i'll make another lemon pie in some weeks and see what happens, but i think it was a combination of both.. i still feel bad! it's been 2 days now.

 

I'll cut out a portion for my family and hide the rest for me xD but i think i wont eat it in a single day this time haha

this thread made me lol !  (sorry you're feeling sick, but) i have done this and then wondered hmmmm?????   and felt pretty dumb.

 

i ate a bunch of cannolis for breakfast one time before a trip to the beach two hours away by car.  not cool.......   (not gluten, either, just a bunch of dairy and soy <chocolate chips yummmmm)  made a car full of people pull into every rest area on the way.

 

but, they were soooooo gooood  :)

I am not sure what to say except for I ate half of a bag of Nothing But Reds Starbursts the other night, but I felt fine. Some people can't handle a lot of sugar at once, might be as simple as that. It's hard not to always look at gluten as the culprit, but I'm going with the others that it was probably the quantity. Hope you feel better soon.

1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 of the pie.   Yup, I'd feel sick too!  But I've been guilty of eating the whole darn pizza and being sick so there you have it.  My bet that it was toooo much pie.  lol :P

Could be gluten.

 

Could be too much fat.

 

Could be too much sugar.

 

Could be too much pie. 

 

Could just be a combination of any of the above ...

 

If you're still sick in a few days I would lean on the gluten side of things.  I always find that the inflammation lasts a while, whereas eating too much of a good thing will only affect me for a few hours.  YMMV, of course.

i've been feeling bad but I feel worse now, i touched some bread crumbs that were on a bag when i went shopping some hours ago,  forgot to wash my hands, then i had some ice cream and unconsciously licked my finger.. do you think i got glutened? i just licked a tiny bit!! :(  Ive been bloated and in pain these days, now had D (sorry tmi haha) i want to feel better..

No worries on the TMI, we have all heard it all :)  It is possible that you had some cross-contamination, but unlikely.  It is always a good practice to wash your hands before eating especially if you have been out of the house.  Other gross things could have been on that finger besides gluten  :ph34r:  (This is my inner germaphobe speaking, lol).  I try to wash my hands as soon as I get to the house so anything out of the house will be left outside.

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      I thought this might be of interest regarding anti-EMA testing. Some labs use donated umbilical cord instead of monkey oesophagus. Some labs just provide a +ve/-ve test result but others provide a grade by testing progressively diluted blood sample. https://www.aesku.com/index.php/ifu-download/1367-ema-instruction-manual-en-1/file Fluorescence-labelled...

      Just diagnosed today

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation...

      Am I nuts?

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Some members here take GliadinX (a sponsor here) if they eat out in restaurants or outside their homes. It has been shown in numerous studies to break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines. This would be for small amounts of cross-contamination, and it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much...

The binding site is extracellular tTG2 bound to fibronectin and collagen. Human or monkey derived endomysium is necessary because tTG2 from other mammals does not provide the right binding epitope. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/26/3/1012

      First, please know that receiving two diagnoses at once, especially one you've never heard of, is undoubtedly overwhelming. You are not alone in this. Your understanding is correct: both celiac disease and Mesenteric Panniculitis (MP) are considered to have autoimmune components. While having both is not extremely common, they can co-occur, as chronic inflammation from one autoimmune condition can sometimes be linked to or trigger other inflammatory responses in the body. MP, which involves inflammation of the fat tissue in the mesentery (the membrane that holds your intestines in place), is often discovered incidentally on scans, exactly as in your case. The fact that your medical team is already planning follow-up with a DEXA scan (to check bone density, common after a celiac diagnosis) and a repeat CT is a very proactive and prudent approach to monitoring your health. Many find that adhering strictly to the gluten-free diet for celiac disease helps manage overall inflammation, which may positively impact MP over time. It's completely normal to feel uncertain right now. Your next steps are to take this one day at a time, focus on the gluten-free diet as your primary treatment for celiac, and use your upcoming appointments to ask all your questions about MP and what the monitoring plan entails. This dual diagnosis is a lot to process, but it is also the starting point for a managed path forward to better health. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Your experience is absolutely valid, and you are not "nuts" or a "complete weirdo." What you are describing aligns with severe neurological manifestations of gluten sensitivity, which is a recognized, though less common, presentation. Conditions like gluten ataxia and peripheral neuropathy are documented in medical literature, where gluten triggers an autoimmune response that attacks the nervous system, leading to symptoms precisely like yours—loss of coordination, muscle weakness, fasciculations, and even numbness. The reaction you had from inhaling flour is a powerful testament to your extreme sensitivity. While celiac disease is commonly tested, non-celiac gluten sensitivity with neurological involvement is harder to diagnose, especially since many standard tests require ongoing gluten consumption, which you rightly fear could be dangerous. Seeking out a neurologist or gastroenterologist familiar with gluten-related disorders, or consulting a specialist at a major celiac research center, could provide more validation and possibly explore diagnostic options like specific antibody tests (e.g., anti-gliadin or transglutaminase 6 antibodies) that don't always require a gluten challenge. You are not alone; many individuals with severe reactivity navigate a world of invisible illness where their strict avoidance is a medical necessity, not a choice. Trust your body's signals—it has given you the most important diagnosis already.

People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.
