May Have Accidentally Consumed Gluten Today

[jasonD2]

i have been on a gluten free diet for 1 month and ate at a restaurant today that did not have a gluten free menu, however i think there may have been gluten in the marinade for the chicken that i ate, but the kitchen manager was unable to provide me with an useful info. could i have reversed all the repair that took place in my gut for the past month by consuming a little bit of gluten?

You may not have reversed it but if there was gluten, you did damage. Are you having symptoms???

Always ask BEFORE you order and if they can't answer questions about a certain dish, then choose another one that is simpler. Your best bet is to call ahead before you go somewhere but that is not always possible!

nope no symptoms- well, actually i had symptoms from the butter in the rice but thats it

[Guest j_mommy]

How did you narrow it down to the butter?

I wouldn't think about it this way, because you already ate it, and your mind can be really powerful in a situation like this. There's a chance that it was okay and you won't get sick or do any damage. Just learn from the situation and be more careful next time

I have noticed here that some people don't get sick from a gluten exposure until a few days later...that is what recently happened to me. I was fine right afterward, but 2-3 days later started to feel poorly and day 4 was quite bad.
