Ugh. I hope you feel better quickly.

That happened to me a few weeks ago. It really ticked me off too. We spend years basically having food poisoning every day, then when we figure it out, we still get food poisoning. I think we should be exempt. Mother nature is a real $#*&% sometimes.

It's a real pain (pun not intended) to be so careful about what we eat then to be done in by carelessness of others. AAARRRGGGG Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the support. What ended up being the worst was trying to convince people that it was not a gluten reaction. If that's the price I have to pay for supportive friends and family that take celiac seriously, well I have it good then.

The same thing happened to me last night! I went to a place in NYC after work. I spoke to the waitress about my Celiac and she spoke to the chef and assured me that the Ceviche did not have gluten. I can tell it did not have gluten since in addition to my gi symptoms I get very bad brain fog and have motor probs after eating gluten and honestly I am not NEARLY this sick after eating gluten. I had the Ceviche at 6:30 last night and I still can't eat. I have been trying to eat this bowl of chicken soup since 2pm. It's so frustrating that I can do everything that I am supposed to do and still wind up so sick.

I got food poisoning last week - from the only place in town that offers sandwiches on gluten-free bread! This is so frustrating! I got really sick - fortunately, it didn't last more than a few hours. We called the place to let them know, and they had gotten another call from someone getting sick - the link between the two of us was avocado. I can't believe I finally found a place to get a sandwich, and now this!

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      7yo struggling!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Food Allergies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
