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.

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.

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

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just switching to gluten free diet will answer your question without involving anyone else.  Your sister was diagnosed, that puts you at 40% risk of having it also as a first degree relative.  If you improve on a trial gluten free diet, you either have Celiac Disease (autoimmune) or Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (not autoimmune).  In any case it is important to address nutritional deficiencies like vitamin D.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to fortify.  The reason gluten foods are fortified is our western diet is deficient in them to the point where the government had to step in and require fortification.   Once you start GFD you'll realize it was the gluten you were afraid of all along, but nobody told you.

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.
