May Have Accidentally Consumed Gluten Today

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.

      Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.

      Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.

      As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Well, it certainly seems reasonable to get checked for Crohn's since you have a family member with it and SIBO. You might also consider talking to your physician about a trial on an immunosuppressant, like prednisone, to see if numbers go down and symptoms subside. Sometimes, just interrupting the inflammatory cycle can effect a reset and put you on the road to health.

      I am wondering how you developed this supplementation regimen? Was it just through trial and error? Did you base this trial and error on blood tests or symptom improvement? It cost me $300 for the blood tests, so I would prefer not to do those regularly
