I have eaten it and never had a problem with it.

Exactly when did you think you last had a gluten exposure?  Once triggered, your antibodies can ramp up and can last for weeks or even months.   For example, when I have had a gluten exposure, I become lactose intolerant for a month or so.  Actually, it can hurt to digest ANYTHING for me.  It is one reason that when I  have been glutened, I make a pot of mushy stew or chicken soup and eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  As soon as food hits my small intestine, it is so painful.  

The ranch might have too much dairy for you right now if your celiac disease is flaring.   My gluten-free hubby eats it without issues, but I can not tolerate garlic and onions, so I do not eat ranch dressing or dip.

I second Cylcinglady, lactose intolerance is very common with this disease, you should remove all dairy for a few months. 
What brand chicken nuggets did you have? Did you make your own unbreaded and plain? Could it be an intolerance to another ingredient, after exposure to gluten we often develop a new food intolerance or sensitivity? 

On a personal note, I use Primal Kitchen Ranch which is dairy free, soy free, gluten free, grain free. They even have a Vegan Version.  I also sometimes go light and use Big Axe Spice Farmstead Seasoning which is like ranch in a shaker.

You should probably stick to a soft mushy diet for while til you heal a bit more, go easy on the carbs to avoid gas.

Thank you all I appreciate all your help you guys

I bet you are doing a great job.  It might be that your GI tract is inflamed.  Just stick to simple foods that have less than five ingredients.  Better with just one ingredient.   Eat easy things like plain chicken, veggies and fruit.  Avoid processed foods until you see some progress.  It is just as easy to bake chicken as it is to bake chicken nuggets.  Avoid dairy, but when you see progress, add in yogurt or hard cheese as these contain less lactose.  

For lunch, I had a hamburger patty with cheese, fresh green beans and 1/2 banana.  Keep it simple.  

Also try to avoid grains in general just until you see improvement.    The gluten free watchdog reported that gluten-free products containing oats were the worst offenders in not meeting the 20 ppm standard.  

Again, just short term fixes until you feel better.  

Hang in there!

My husband eats the Cucumber Ranch all the time & has no problem with it.

I agree with the others, keep it simple until you start feeling better. No processed foods at all & ditch the grains for now. Just fresh meats, fruits & veggies.

Ok I know I've been asking alot but I bought that gluten free watch dog signed in downloaded some reports man I not really word smart I don't know how else to put it I have no idea what the reports are saying I read it over and over is there like some kind of explanation of how to understand what it says ? Thanks for talking the time to help me I am taking all of your advice only veggies fruits meat till I feel better

If the test report summary says “The sample tested below the lower limit of quantification for the assay used of 5 parts per million of gluten” that’s good! It means the test could not detect any gluten. There might be a teeny, teeny, tiny amount so small that the test could not detect it but it probably is truly gluten free.  If there were 1 or 2 parts per million it would be very unusual for such a tiny amount to hurt someone with celiac. The complete test reports may list Extraction 1 and Extraction 2, again if those are <5ppm (which means less than 5 parts per million) that is good.  

Hope this helps, if not just let me know what needs more explanation.

They tell you what was tested - skip how it was tested - just know it was tested correctly.  At the end it willl tell you it tested less than 5 PPM .  And that is great!  Or, the few things that test as containing gluten , are usually share with the public

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
