I have to share a great vacation with everyone!!! It was in Los Cabos, Mexcio! 6 wonderful days! I was so scared to go, but as it turned out, it was fantastic. The food was awesome, and I felt so much better - almost like before I fell sick last October. I did take some of my own food just incase I would have a hard time, but everyone was so understanding that it worked out well. I ate fresh fruit, vegs, and protien everyday. No spices, or anything, and I was extra careful - a great place to go.

I am now back home since Tuesday, and since Wednesday evening I have been so sick all over again....tired- the big D, itchy - brain-fog... I am hardley able to function. What should I do??

Either you got glutened on vacation or something at home could be making you sick. It sometimes takes a day or two before I start to feel bad after a glutening. Hope you feel better soon.

Move to Mexico! :D Just kidding - could it be a delayed reaction to something? Hope you feel better.

On the way home, we stopped at Hoss's...I just found out that their tips are marinated....with a wheat.... Most of their steaks are marinated with a wheat base....only one is plain. I am feeling better today, just a bit of itching is left. Can't wait for that to end!

I am very sorry you are feeling ill. We went to Cabos last summer, prior to gluten-free and are going back in Dec. What places did you eat? Where did you stay?

We are staying at Playa Grande, though we never eat at the resort. I love the local flavor. I am so ready to go back!

I stayed at the Sheraton Hacienda Del Mar

They were so good to me...I emailed them ahead of time about my issues, - At the sheraton, when I would go to order something, they would come over and tell me yes or no. Most of the waiters new me, and watched me very closely.

Bogenda -in the old town - Sergio was the manager - He made sure everything I ordered was looked into with extra care. Filet mig.- best I ever ate!!!

I also ate at the Hilton - grilled lobster on the beach - it was great. Again, I talked to the manager and ordered with them.

I made sure I called the rest. and talked to the manager, went over the list carefully with them, and then when I got to the restuarant, I talked with the manager again - he even took the order.

Most days I ate what I took with me from home for lunches - tuna fish, wheat free crackers, canned chicken, applesauce, fruit cups...I really took a lot of things with me to make sure just incase...

While I was there, I actually forgot how sick I had been, I never felt better, even felt as good as before I fell ill!!

Now, back home, I am still having issues...but I lost my dog, and that has put some major stress on me.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      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...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      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...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      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 ...

      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. ...

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.

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.
