We ate out at a very nice, small neighborhood restaurant last night for our anniversary. I called ahead and talked to the chef/owner and she said not problem about accommodating me. This is the type of place that serves you soup, appetizer, salad, your choice of two entrees and desert for one price. She cooks with organic fresh herbs and produce, most grown in her garden. She made a special entree for me. I checked and the lentil soup was fine, the salad with walnuts and balsamic dressing was all home made. She did have an assortment of goat and ewe cheeses imported from France. I did notice that after one slice had what looked like a blue cheese through it. I ate part of the cheeses before I noticed it. For desert, she had berries in a white chocolate cup with shaved chocolate.

Does anyone know if the white chocolate cup could have contained gluten? I doubt she made those. Or maybe the cheese? I am hoping she just didn

Its possible that the white chocolate cup was dusted with something on the assembly line. If they make in house which we do sometimes, we use a balloon without dusting. Bleu cheese is rarely made from a bread mold now but since it was imported that could be a slight possibility. Sounds like she did her best to take care of you. Hope you feel better soon!

According to the Canadian Celiac Assoc, all their tests showed that even blue cheese started from bread mold is gluten-free. I've never heard of white chocolate with gluten. Any time you eat at a restaurant, CC is a possibility.

Chocolate shavings are a possibility. Celiacs cannot have many types of chocolate, including Godiva and Lindt and many others.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update @Rejoicephd it is good to know that you may have some answers.  Keep up the good work with your diet, and do let us know if you do get a firm diagnosis.  I took so long to feel better and for my TTG levels to normalise,  but got there in the end, so also bear in mind it does take longer for some of us.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁

      Could this be a new intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.
