Los Cabos Vacation

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.

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.
