This diet is so frustrating sometimes!! I think I got either glutened or food poisoned at taco bell...all I had were the pinto beans w/ cheese, and i had my own chips at home. Got pretty sick from that. Then, I either got sick from chic-fil-a's fries (which I have eaten numerous times and been fine...) or else I got CC from making tacos (flour tortillas for DH)...this is a pain!

hey sweetfudge,

im soooo sorry. wow, what a bummer. it can be so frustrating...

sounds like all of your possibilites are very possible. i have gotten horribly sick at both chick fil a and taco bell..I finally had to tell myself than any glutenings are just not worth it because I get sick...plus making flour things *can* be risky.

I wish I could make it all better....its one of those "I'll never do that again" moments (like, "I'll never drink again" when we are hungover....;))

Hey Sweetfudge: For the most part, I don't cook/bake with anything containing gluten...the exception is Christmas baking with my kids. I wear one of those face masks, make the kids pour and mix the flour in the garage :rolleyes: and wipe the counters etc real often with paper towel and soap and water--yeah I'm a bit of a freak in that department but it really helps.

Dear Sweetfudge,

I feel for you! I can so relate (as can all of us on the forum). It is a pain. My parents are not gluten-free. My mother treats me like a hypochondriac. Dad is coming around a bit more now.

She has always been convinced that I am crazy, though. She is obsessed with it. She labels everyone with some form of psychological disorder. Since she went to beauty school, she does not apply for a mental health professional. However, many hairdressers must often act as therapists! I got glutened the other week, and could not figure out how! Then, the other night, Mom used my Smart Balance Light so now I have to get new butter! UUURGGGGHHH!!! People are just not careful! I just do not go out to eat! My cousin and Aunt came to visit, but they always go out to eat. So, I did not end up going. It sucks having to explain yourself to everyone all of the time.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. My business site is finally up and running. go to www.kimskraftsgiftsandmore.com to check it out.

Please spread it around. I desperately need customers!

Sorry your mom isn't any better. I know, I screamed at my husband the other day for using HIS butterknife to butter his bread with MY butter!

I don't go out to eat often, but I miss it a lot!

Congrats on the business! Wow you have a lot of stuff on there! Do you make it all or just sell it? I'm gonna have to put in an order once I get some extra money :) Hopefully I'll get christmas cash from relatives!!

      Is it gluten?

      Thanks for the reply.

      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.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      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.
