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!

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.

      Thank you 😊 I will certainly have those tests done to be thorough although bright red color indicates lower down.  This information is very interesting,  Thank you so much 🙏🏻

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Still unsure.....

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).
