This Is What I Think Happened

I think i got glutened the other day. Boy oh boy. My stomach hurt so bad. Not like I was going to have diarrhea or a stomach ache, but pain in my upper quadrant. I was doubled over, etc. It also hurt my stomach to walk. This lasted for 3 to 4 days. Sheesh. We went out to eat at Cracker Barrel because we were on the road for a trip and I order what I thought was ok. Grilled Roast Beef. It came with carrots and green beans. It was wonderful. <_< I could not look up on Cracker Barrels web site about allergens. So I don't know what happened there.

Anyway, this is what I think. I thought to myself, why did it hurt so bad and I really noticed something this time? Well, I think it's like if you were to be poisoned slowly over a long period of time, you feel yucky all the time, but don't really know why. You are not in tremendous amount of pain, but some nonetheless. You just kinda wither away slowly. Well, then you realize you are being poisoned and you are poison free for 2 months say. Then all of a sudden you are poisoned again. Well, after being poison free for a while, your body is like "WHOA" and the effects of the poison are really strong at that time. It is not little by little like before. Does this make any sense?

I ordered the fecal test from Enterolab and even if they come back negative, I think I will be gluten free anyway. Ouch.

Absolutely, it makes sense. Your body has had time to recover from the damage gluten has done. Then, when it's reintroduced your body goes into overdrive trying to fight it off. Thus, causing exagerated symptoms. Ugh...

      Restaurant had a ‘GF’ pizza option… then whispered, ‘But we use the same oven.’ 🍕⚰️ Share your worst ‘gluten-free, but not really’ moments!

      I have not made my own juices but have made my own granola copycat recipe from Trader Joes Turmeric ginger granola. Have you made your own juices? blending vs cold pressed what is better?

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.
