Bread Crumb In Salad

[Guest maybe I have celiac]

Yesterday, I was feeling fine and focused and went out to eat with my co-workers. I had a salad and noticed I was chewing on a bread crumb. I ate it anyway and the remainder of the afternoon, I was panicky and depressed. Can this small amount of gluten screw me up this badly??? Anyone with personal experiences similar to this?

Yes, unfortunately, that amount was enough to make you sick.

My wife brought home a chicken ceasers salad from Mcdonalds one day. I tried a small bite of the lettuce just to taste the dressing. I carefully selected an area away from the croutons. As soon as I put it in my mouth, all I could taste was croutons! Naturally I spit it out. I was shocked at the intensity of the crouton taste. In my mind I could see a crouton previously sitting there half dissolved right were I took a bite.

Was a very stupid thing to do anyway. Plus I didn't know about the ingredients in the dressing. Fortunately, I didn't have any ill effects.
