Got Sooo Sick

Yesterday me and my dh took my son to Philadelphia for his visit to the cardiologist. It started out a great day. After getting great news from the cardiologist, we proceeded to Mr Ritts bakery. All I can say about that is YUMMY. I bought a cheesecake, with raspberry in it. It tasted like heaven. He also made a new bread since I have been there last, an Artisian Olive Bread. It was fantastic. I keep just eating plain slices.

After we headed back into New Jersey, we stopped at the same Wendys we always do on our way home. I had my usual plain salad and baked potato. I even splurged for a frosty.

We couldnt have been home for 10 minutes when the nausea started. I began throwing up violently. The pain I was in was awful. I was ready to go back to the hospital. I had some oxycodone at home that the GI had initially prescribed me, and after two of those the pain finally went away.

The only thing I can think of was some kind of CC at Wendys.

Today I just feel sluggish and miserable.

I just wanted to share my only bad experience with Wendys and I dont blame anyone. I wasnt clear with them what i needed. I will be more diligent from now on.

sorry you got sick... I've had reactions from Wendy's from their handling of the baked potato if they didn't change gloves before hand, maybe loaded a burger on a bun right before helping me...

      Chest pain from celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
