I just have one big question: why do I get sick almost every time I eat at a restaurant, no matter what I might eat? Last week Red Lobster nearly killed me! lol Looking back, I didn't drown myself in gluten.

Is it mostly a cross-contamination problem?

Makes me want to avoid eating out at all!

I'm no officially dx yet. Just a family history and all the symptoms. After my blood tests next week I am going gluten-free.

It's either going to be cross contamination, or maybe a gluten-containing ingredient that was overlooked (such as a seasoning or something).

Red Lobster is definitely not the most Celiac friendly place... Try eating off the gluten free menu at Outback or PF Changs first and see if you still feel horrible.

I don't know, but I gave up eating out for two months and felt better then I have in a year! Even with stuff that should be safe. Anyway, I tried again without success at Chipotle's. I know it isn't in my head, but it is very frustrating!

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
