I'm so sorry that you got glutened :(

Last time I got glutened at a restaurant, I let the manager know, so that he could make sure that it didn't happen to another person (they put pancake batter in my omlet that I had stressed needed to be gluten and dairy free).

I hope that you feel better soon.

I find that saying "gluten-free" means very little to MOST restaurant people without lengthy explanations.

Therefore I just tell them I'm allergic to wheat, bread, flour, most cereals and grains and many additives because they have flour and derivative of wheat in them (e.g. non-clear sauces, gravies, dressings, etc).

The most common response to the word "gluten" I get is about "glucose" and how they have sugar-free stuff.

I told one waitress (very sweet young 17-yr old who really wanted to help) that I couldn't have bread, flour, wheat, etc" and she brought me a salad with extra croutons! She said I know you can't have the dressing so I gave you extra coupons. She was so embarrassed and quickly went and had a special salad made for me, in a separate preparation bowl. But then she brought me onion rings with my steak because she knew I couldn't eat the rolls!

I've found that eating in restaurants, without a gluten-free menu, almost always leads to eating gluten in something. Unless you ask for a "NAKED STEAK" or "NAKED FISH" or "PLAIN SALAD" or stuff like that - makes eating out very boring and unpleasant.

I'm dying for a KRISPY CREME or DUNKIN DONUT!!!!!

And I have to cook for my father and he eats a lot of whole wheat stuff and cookies and crackers.

Makes me sniff the baked stuff and die for some.

There's probably no way to prove that you got glutened there, but you could call and let them know and try to figure out what when wrong. But the next time a celiac comes in, they'd probably get a different waiter so I'm not sure how much good it would do. I always carry around a little card with what I can and cannot eat on it. A lot of times the waiter will take it back to the cook to make sure my meal is ok. I've been lucky - I haven't been glutened at a restaurant yet, so maybe the card works!

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
