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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
