i'm so sorry you're sick! that sounds miserable. and your poor mom must feel awful.

i'll throw out some possible causes, but i dont' know if they'll be useful at all:

is throwing up a usual gluten reaction for you?

if not, maybe the chicken was off, or not cooked enough.

or maybe the buttermilk was off. or any of the ingredients really - could just be usual food poisoning?

OR

i know a lot of people have had cc issues with flours/meals (though seems like the most problems are associated with corn meal) - is the rice flour from a facility that also puts out wheat flour?

OR

are all the kitchen surfaces, pots/pans, utensils, cutting boards, colanders, plates and glasses that your mom used completely gluten-free? no possible trace of gluten?

OTHER RANDOM QUESTIONS, what did you have to drink? and did the bag of corn cobs have any additives? did your mom switch dishwashing liquids (i just found out the one i'd been using had gluten in it and had to rewash *everything*)? did you feed any pets, i.e. stick your hand in a gluten-y food bag? new lipstick/lip gloss? toothpaste?

okay, that's all i've got - you probably thought of all those already anyway. in any case, good luck! i hope you feel better soon! i am not a good thrower-upper myself - lots of sympathy. oh - ginger tea helps settle my tummy. if you don't like it warm, just put it on ice. if you don't have a ginger tea bag, you can also just put ginger powder/root/minced in water and make an infusion - same thing.

feel better,

paula

Paula pretty much covered everything I would say. Is anyone else sick? Have you been around anyone who was sick in the past few days or week? Also, check the buttermilk carton for any additives ---just fishing around here. Was the chicken fresh or did it have any marinade? Hope you feel better SOON!! :)

I take dramamine and it seems to help with the nausea. I also take Pepto bismol. Is this a normal reaction when you get gluten? Could it be a stomach virus?

Hope you feel better soon.

I react that way sometimes to rice, which is a bummer because I love rice. Corn is also really hard to digest, and some Celiacs can't tolerate corn at all.

Pepto Bismol chewables are great when I get feeling like this... sip on water, don't feel like you have to eat if you aren't hungry and let your tummy settle. When you do feel like eating, start with something simple like a banana or applesauce. A hot water bottle on the tummy can also work wonders. Rest when you can. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all for the help and suggestions,

I am not feeling much better this morning I have eaten a peanut butter banna and it usually helps if I am quesy but I am still feeling sick... The only possibility is the pan, it probably a very very long time ago had something gluten fried in in.. we NEVER fry things so I am thinkin its the pan or the oil somehow, We have used the buttermilk before without any trouble, and the corn was straight from the cob corn was the only ingridents.. My mom mentioned her stomach felt bad in the night maybe it was bad chicken but.. This is how I react to gluten, Imediatly after I ate I began terrible belching.. My brothers tease me it sounds like demmons are coming out and then I threw up after that, my head hurts this morning, but I came on to school.. its hard to just have a "sick day" in college! the only reason I wanna figure out the problem is I dont want this to happen again! thank you all though for the helpful suggestions.. Its so hard to know when you are Celiac Sick or just plain sick.. but I do beilive this is a gluten reaction.!

Did you say GREEN BEANS?

I thought I was okay with LEGUMES for about 5 years until I had a food allergy test and came back SOY was a major food allery for me. SOY is in the legume family along with green beans. Soy cause my thyoid problem. My doc (that I trust confirmed) it again yesterday.

I am also one of those celica's with a problem with corn. It began about 8 years ago with pop corn I becan having seizure with pop corn after the 3 time I stopped popped corn.

Hope you are feeling better!

It is entirely possible that you could have had some reaction to the canola oil. It has been advised that people with gluten intolerance avoid this oil as their have been some reactions. I would guess that canola could be like soy oil. Soy oil is acceptable but some people who use it frequently will develop a sensitivity to it and have some GI distress.

Also, sometimes the buttermilk does not always work in some recipes. I know that I am careful as to how I use it. Then there is always the outside chance that the chicken was bad as other stated. I have also been told by a dietician that chicken is one meat that seems to have chemicals in it and many celiacs do not do well with it.

And another issue that is often forgotten is the fact that people with celiac disease can have problems with foods that are too fatty. Home fried chicken is one item that can be very greasy and cause issues. Hopefully this will not happen to you again. deepvalley

I'm so sorry to hear you are not feeling well.

When I get glutened I'll sometimes drink some Pepto Bismol. It doesn't help much but I think it's a mental aspect. I find putting a heating pad on my tummy eases some of the pain.

I have big problems with Canola oil. I use either Olive oil or Grapeseed oil.

Sure hope you are feeling better quickly. Not a nice way to start off the New Year :(

I get problems with canola oil, too. It took me the longest time to figure that out.

I use olive oil most of the time.

I definitely have issues with Canola. It affects my DH crazy bad, almost instantly. This is one that took awhile to figure out, too.

A few weeks ago I heard that canola is often grown in the same fields as wheat and that Celiacs react due to the cross contamination. I have no idea whether this is true or not, a Celiac-aware chef told me. Anyone know if this is really the case?

I suspect the issue IS cross-contamination, but it seems very prevalent, so I avoid canola all together.

If I'm not mistaken, there is no such thing as a "canola" plant...canola oil is made from rapeseed? Which is grown LIKE wheat, but I'm not sure if they are grown near each other. I'm sure it's really possible.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
