Help ! My Daughter Is Now Working At Carraba's !

Last Saturday nite, my daughter brought home Bruschetta, Goat cheese and marinara sauce for herself, but I ate it. I didn't have any cramping, so, I thought I had gotten away with it. Sunday nite, she brought me some fresh bread with EVOO and spices. So, like a dummy, I ate that too.

On the bright side, at least now that I have been gluten / etc. free for 6 - 8 months, I can identify when I have been glutened / caseined ? The brain fog, mania, insomnia, constipation, gas, and bloating came back. And I'm back to eating bland foods until this calms down.

I can tell this is NOT going to be easy. I feel like a vulture waiting to pounce when my daughter gets off work and walks in the door with her Carraba's bag.

I just wanted to let you all know that I have a whole new respect for any of you trying to maintain this diet while being tempted by delicious mouth watering foods that you can't eat.

Bless you all ... Sincerely ... Marcia

My mother and I discussed the other night how sensitive I am to small particles of gluten.

It is like being an alcoholic, when an alcoholic or drug addict goes off of the drugs or booze for any length of time. If they use again it effects them harder than before and it becomes more difficult for them to quit because they are addicted. Like things people are allergic to you either crave them or hate them.

We are like gluten addicts some of us will gobble them up if we have not immediate ill effects but if you are like me then, you would never want to touch the stuff. I am so sick on minute amounts if I ate bigger things with gluten, I don't even want to imagine what I would go through.

Does your daughter Know about your Celiac disease??? Why would she even tempt you with all the food? Maybe you could ask her to bring home some of the things you're able to eat - if she brings anything home at all. They have a gluten-free menu there.

It's easier to stay on the diet if you're not tempted by the food in your own home. I can see how you'd be tempted if you Went to Carrabbas to eat....but you shouldn't have to deal with that temptation at home like that. If it gets serious enough - you should ask her to not bring the food home when you're there.

Their chicken bryan is fabulous! So is the Mama whatever chicken soup. Maybe she could bring some of those things home for you instead of bread. They are both gluten free and yummy!

They have a gluten-free menu. If you really need to eat her food with her maybe she should bring some those items instead.

It was really my fault. I thought I could handle it. I was doing so well. But, what I didn't realize is that it was only becuase I wasn't being tempted by anything REALLY good.

Nini - good luck with your husband's job ... that is going to be hard too.

My computer keeps logging me off, so I may be done for the night.

Thanks for your replies ... marcia

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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 y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
