Hi I'm new to being gluten-free...about 2 weeks now. But yesterday I ate a Taco Salad and the whole thing including the shell...it totally escaped my brain that it contain gluten. But today I haven't gotten stomach or gut aches yet :) but I did have a fever yesterday night and random "kidney" pains today that stop me in my tracks but only last for a couple seconds. I was just wondering if that's because I'm glutened or maybe just that I don't feel good. I was just wondering if anyone ever experience that when glutened...thank you!!

I don't know about a fever... I never had one when glutened. But as for the lack of reaction from eating gluten... you're pretty new to it all. When I first went gluten-free, I had many, many slips as I learned the diet and didn't have huge repercussions. I remember about a year after being gluten-free, I made two beautiful loaves of homemade bread for a party and was so upset that I couldn't eat them... I cut a thick slab, buttered it, and ate it!! I had NO symptoms!! I made this great plan... to cheat maybe once a month w/ foods I really missed... but never got to try my great plan! The longer I was gluten-free, the more sensitive I became! And now, 7 years later... I don't so much as BREATHE a crumb of gluten if I can help it!!

It takes time and practice to learn where gluten is hiding.

Are you certain the shell contained gluten? If so, you would have gotten glutened even if you ate around the shell. If your food touches gluten, it is contaminated! You may already know that, but I just wanted to make sure.

My older son sometimes gets low-grade fevers when he gets glutened.

Taco shells are usually made from corn. It might have been gluten-free.

I think it contained gluten because I'm pretty sure they're made from flour tortillas but I did wake up this morning with horrible cramps and a gut ache my glands in my throat are all swollen and i have some itchy spots on me...so i'm pretty sure I was glutened and now paying for it :(

Taco salad shells are usually made from wheat flour. They are different than "taco" shells. I know because I used to be addicted to them. So light and airy and crispy fried and pale. Nothing like corn.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
