Glutened At A Wedding?

Hi all

I've been gluten-free for almost a year. I reintroduced dairy successfully in about December 08 and I've been feeling pretty well lately. I suffered with quite bad chronic fatigue prior to giving up gluten.

I went to a wedding on Saturday. I felt fine on Sunday but possibly didn't get enough sleep, although my body hasn't rebelled this much in a long time.

Basically today I can't do anything, when I do anything I get dizzy and sweat and my whole body feels heavy, same old Chronic Fatigue story. No diarrhea yet, but my stomach's been off, lots of wind etc but that isn't uncommon for me.

The people at the wedding knew about coeliacs and CC, and assured me it had all been cooked separately. They made me a separate soup, and fruit salad for dessert. The main was Chicken stuffed with sun dried tomatoes and mozarella in a white wine sauce. Other people's sauce contained wheat flour but mine was cooked without it, and separately.

I can't think where I could have been glutened from but unless I have a flu coming I'm stumped as I've been feeling really good. I am new to being 'glutened'. I did a challenge in Nov 08 and it went very badly, I felt like this basically but with added diarrhea. I do still have blip days but not had one like this for ages, so while I don't want to blame the gluten in case I've overdone it etc, I'm stumped really. Could it have been the meal?

It could have been the meal or it could be a bug. i would give it a day or two. if you're better tomorrow then it probably was gluten because i have never had symptoms from being glutened last more than two days.

What did you eat on sunday?

I t could be that even though they were careful it could be slight cross contamination. This is just a thought but i react to MSG even though it is on the safe list some people cannot tolerate it. If i eat something with MSG in it i get the fatigue, slight gas or a kind of heart burn feeling. The fatigue is the worst though. And since it is considered safe some part of your gluten free meal could have that particular ingredient.

On Sunday I ate gluten-free bread that I took myself to the hotel, with cheese and onion at my dad's house which is not gluten-free but i used a fresh knife and put my toast on some new foil under the grille. Then we had steak, potatoes and salad and the only dressing I had were mayo and ketchup, which are both certified gluten free.

It could have been CC from someone having touched gluten before preparing your dish--or after in setting it down. etc. unfortunately. Or even the plate or cookware having old baked in gluten... For all that, sundried tomatoes could be suspect in that regard...

Did your white wine sauce have dairy? Lots of sauces do. And the other poster is right, crumbs are around the kitchen and CC can happen easily, even off the server.

You said you had ketchup and mayo. Were those your containers or could someone have used them before you?

I personally have a reaction that lasts longer than two weeks, so that may not be a good gauge.

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9. There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease. Are you still having symptoms? What do...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?
