There are only 2 things that I ate that are new to me. One is a three musketeers candy bar and the other was salt and pepper lay's potato chips. Does anyone know if these are gluten free? I am sure I have ingested something with gluten because I remember these symptoms very well :(:(:(

Three Muskateers is gluten-free.

Don't know for sure about the Lays. I worry about cc with chips.

Sorry you're feeling bad. Between the new name and the new avatar, I almost didn't recognize you!!

First lesson, don't eat anything if you're not sure it's gluten-free.

Lay's has serious CC problems on some products.

Besides possible cross-contamination, there are a number of chips that also have hidden MSG in them. Just look up the symptoms that causes and you may be surprised. It's a major cause of Diabetes for one thing, which has been known since the seventies. Yet the packaged food companies (and sadly, also gluten-free food companies) use MSG as a "flavor enhancer". It does this by over-stimulating certain parts of the brain, making the person perceive a sensation of the product having a higher fat content than it really does. That's how many products achieve a fuller flavor with less calories and fat on the label. Often the MSG is listed as some form or another of yeast. You might see "yeast extract", "hydrolyzed yeast", or even something as bold as "nutritional yeast". All of these are added for the naturally occurring free glutamic acid, which is how they get the MSG into the product without actually explicitly adding it. Otherwise it would have to be on the label, and the public is too informed about it for the product to sell well that way. OK, sorry for the rant...

Here's an eye-opening link for you:

Those chips are probably what caused the symptoms. Some people have had problems with brands that are made on the same lines and then end up with cross contamination issues. I have problems with certain chips. 3 Muskateers are gluten free. I agree though...if you don't know for sure that something is gluten free then you should not be eating it.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
