Does This Sound Like I Was Glutened?

I have been gluten-free for 2yrs and I don't think I've been glutened before (or I didnt notice :)) I eat out regularly but Im usually really careful. [if relevant ... before being finding out I had celiac disease and going gluten free I was nearly asymptomatic - no gastro symptoms!]

I got hot chips from a shop I dont usually go to yesterday and I ate them at 12:30pm and at 3:00pm I had awful nausea and vomited at 3:30pm and had nausea all afternoon. no other symptoms.

I forgot to check if it was chicken salt or normal salt they put on them and have since found out it was chicken salt and therefore likely contained a small amount of gluten. (I checked that the fryer was only used for chips - they had a separate fryer for other things so it wasn't that).

Im just surprised that such a small amount of gluten can make me that sick! I dont think its food poisoning as 5 other people ate the same thing and no one else got sick at all.

can small amounts of gluten in a bit of chicken salt really make me vomit?

Australia :) didn't realise it was only common in Aust & NZ (though I think it was common when I lived in UK too...)

INGREDIENTS COMMONLY ARE: Salt, dairy solids, rice flour, hydrolysed vegetable protein (soy and corn), wheat starch, yeast extract, chicken fat, sugar, vegetable powders, hydrolysed corn/wheat/soy protein, corn syrup, monosodium gluramate (E0621), herbs spices and/or extracts, tricalcium phosphate (E341iii), Vegetable oil - soy bean (refined), disodium isonate (E0631), disodium guanylate (E0627), benzyl alcohol, butylated hydr anisole (E0320), Citric Acid (E0330).

Wikipedia:

"Seasoned salt is a flavoured blend of table salt composed of herbs, spices, other flavourings, and sometimes monosodium glutamate (MSG). It is widely sold in supermarkets and is commonly used in fish and chip shops and other take-away food shops. It is known by many other names, including seasoning salt, season salt, and, in Australia and New Zealand, chicken salt.

Seasoned salt is often the standard seasoning on foods such as chicken, hot potato chips, and deep fried seafood. Most take-away shops also offer the option of "normal salt".

Chicken salt, as sold in Australia and New Zealand, generally contains chicken extracts, which are listed as the second ingredient after salt. It is therefore not suitable for strict vegetarians. However, some flavoured salts sold as chicken salt do not contain chicken extracts or concentrates. It is not related to the chicken flavouring or seasoning that is found on potato crisps, although it can be similar in appearance (both have a slight yellow colouring)."

Yuuk!! Chicken salt = poison. Thanks for the heads up.

I think you mean french fried (deep fat fried) potatoes ? The oil used for frying could have been contaminated by breading containing wheat, used on other things that were fried in the same fryer, in addition to the "chicken salt."

Also, the potatoes, unless sliced up there and made of actual potatoes, who knows what could be on them if they come pre frozen- not all frozen potato french fry or chip type products are gluten free.

Chicken salt- learn something new every day. :blink:

If I ate that chicken salt with those ingredients, I would have to be hospitalized.. When in doubt, go without!

Well, I just can't imagine any of these ingredients making a robot sick! Kidding. Sounds like you are eating at the back end of a chemical factory!

Yes, wheat protein has gluten and can make a celiac sick. Even small amounts can cause a reaction. You might be well off to avoid the corn syrup, citric acid and benzoate also, as they may contain mercury per recent research.

Chicken salt, chicken yuck! :-(

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
