Did I just “get glutened?”

[kg51]

3 weeks gluten-free...my GI said to eat gluten-free after positive TTG blood work but negative endoscopic biopsy. 

 

We ate out for Mother’s Day at a restaurant that insisted they were safe and sounded great talking about how they’d prevent cross-contamination. I had a salad with shrimp and an entree of scallops. I’m about 2 hours passed the end of the meal and the worst of it was from 0.5 - 1.5 hours after eating...terrible lower abdomen cramping (not productive, no trips to the bathroom), nausea, racing heartbeat (it was like 115 bpm just sitting down). The cramping is getting better with resting and the nausea and racing heart seems to have passed. I’m not going to assume it’s all over but I’m hopeful. Maybe it was the seafood? It was a high quality restaurant. I don’t know. I don’t like not knowing.

Might have, I stopped eating out except at 100% gluten free restaurants for a treat. I do have 2 places I go to that are not gluten free dedicated but I only order 2 menu items, and I have talked to the manager each time and seen how they cook them, (they lay down foil on a conveyor oven and put veggies or fish on top unseasoned and just roast it then dump from the foil sheet to plate and serve)
PS for my mothers day, I invited my mother to my house and fixed her dinner, nice salt and pepper seasoned NY strip medium rare, served with a salad topped in a red wine pomegranate vinegar and lemon pepper with a side of my Grain free cheesy bread I made a large flat bread loaf this time.
