The last thing I can remember eating with Gluten was a big salty pretzel and a sabrett hot dog (no bun) at a NY Yankee Game, it was the 4th Inning and I had to fight to stay awake for the rest of the game.

Kentucky Fried Chicken. I'd been eating normally for 36 years with no symptoms, so the day of my biopsy I decided I'd have a gluteny dinner for the last time and start the next day. Had a heck of a time trying to decide between the chicken dinner or the Big Crunch Sandwich. I kinda wish now I'd had the Big Crunch, lol.

Last Xmas, I had some very dense chocolate chip square that was so yummy I had 2! :(

Worse thing about it, it never bothered me except for a little gas the next morning.

Beer and Cookie dough ice cream for an endoscopy-a little too much of both.

Sometimes when I 'm really bored in class and in the mood to torture myself, I'll make a list of all my favorite foods that I'll eat one of these days when we're cured.

LOL! Sometimes I think a cure would be a bad thing for me! I'd probably put on about 300 lbs the first week! I don't even know where I'd start.................

I think the last gluten item I ate before becoming gluten free was a Crumbs cupcake at bakery in East Hampton last 4th of July weekend. I happily sat on a bench and ate my devils food cupcake with oreo bits on top knowing this was going to be my last. (I had gotten my blood results back at that point and was still awaiting the biopsy results, so I figured I would live it up until then).

Dinner at Macaroni grill, with pasta and an ENTIRE LOAF of french bread.

I wish I would have gone to KFC, gotten a loaf of french bread on the way home, and a tube of pillsbury cookie dough.

I had forgotten - after the fair and the elephant ear, I went home and had a couple of cold beers to wash it down with - if I was going out, I was going out in STYLE!!!

I haven't touched anything with gluten intentionally since!

I was very drunk and said "to heck with it" and chowed down an entire

large bag of Doritos (my favorite junkfood)...

Felt horrible for over a week and now no amount of alcohol can inhibit my gluten-free senses!

15 months ago I went to PF Changs and ordered EVERY gluten filled appetiser they had on the menu. A couple of them I made into double orders. It was really OINK OINK time. I still think of those appetisers. Not a lettuce wrap among them.

Elephant ears are made of the same thing as funnel cakes -- puffy dough and loads of powdered sugar. Very common at State/County Fairs

I miss them....

never wanted one in my whole life, would look at those funnel cakes, and think, wow, how utterly vomitous. Now, what I wouldn't give (only half joking...fried dough is somehow really appealing to me now).

my last thing.....the day of endoscopy/colonoscopy, and he told me right then I had advanced Celiac and not one villi, I didn't care, my friend drove me straight to the grocery deli and I ate about six pieces of the most yummy fried chicken. It was SO delicious....

last thing I remember intentionally eating with gluten was cheese fries and a nice, fat cheeseburger from windmill... I was trying to increase my gluten intake that day for an antibody blood test the next morning... not that one day of eating any substantial amount of gluten would matter but I figured why not enjoy a good meal..

When I went on my gluten challenge for six weeks, I ate Big Macs (someday I WILL go to Findland for a gluten-free one), McGriddles, scones, pizza. All I remember is that they were making me so sick that it was all I could do to choke them down after a while. It certainly made me not want to cheat, even after my tests were all inconclusive! (I was eventually diagnosed by Enterolab)

I haven't cheated at all since being diagnosed. I remember my "last supper" well, however. It was a Friday nite and dh called and said, "Why don't I pick up some ribs from..... on my way home?" Now, I'd been having gi issues for months, and was dropping 5 lbs a week without knowing why. All tests were coming back negative. This place is well known for its ribs, so I thought, yeah, what the heck, it sounded good. I had ribs, slaw, baked beans, and a roll. Yummy! In less than 20 minutes I was 10 x sicker than the sickest I had ever been. This lasted on through the nite, and by Sat a.m. I was in the hospital. There wasn't much left to test me for, so they decided to test me for e coli....negative of course. 3 days later, still in the hospital, a dr. said, "Gluten!" when I told him that for several months I'd not even been able to eat toast without getting sick. Do I even need to tell you what tests finally came back overwhelmingly positive???? Complete villous atrophy.

Although I'd been on a fast downhill slide, I suppose that 1 roll and possibly rib seasoning was my final tipping point.

Life insists you have a sense of humor; everyday coming home from work, I pass the billboard advertising those ribs :wacko:

I did not really have a "last supper". I was so sick, when my doctor gave me the blood tests...my levels were so high that he told me to start the gluten-free diet right away, that he did not think a week would make a difference with my endoscopy (as he had it scheduled for one week later)..

Everything I was eating at that point made me feel awful, so nothing was enjoyable.

I think that is why I had my drunken breakdown with the doritos...I had finally started enjoying food again and was craving those yummy chips!

If I could have my last hoorah, I really think I would go to Outback and get a no rules burger with everything and a double order of cheesefries!

I'm answering for my six year old son. I know that the night we found out we were having Chicken Caesar salad and sourdough bread. I had to scramble to find a gluten-free Caesar dressing, but I did - he didn't have the bread or croutons. I'll bet it was Honey Nut Cheerios. He lived on those things. He probably had two bowls for breakfast, I don't know about lunch...we found out after lunch. He still looks at the box of Honey Nut Cheerios at the store from time to time and sighs and says I loved Honey nut. Then he walks away.

My sister and I use to sit on our couch and talk about what our last hoorah meal would be if a meteor was coming and the world was going to end....

And also if the meteor was coming and we could only go to one aisle of the grocery store, what aisle would it be ?(yes we have problems and are obsessed with eating!). At the time I never even thought I would be restricted from so much food....

My sister has celiac too, so now our discussions are "what we would eat if we could have gluten"...

Beer (was eating Brisket, potato salad and baked beans, so you have to have beer), sliced white bread with brisket and fixins, and cheesecake for dessert.

I was like megzmc3611. I was told to go on the gluten-free diet about two weeks before the endo. The doctor was hopeful that she would see some villi. Unfortunatly, not a one was found. So my "last supper" (I even called it that) was some crappy leftovers :angry: I was too tired to make dinner. Had I known then what I know now I would have gone out to dinner at least! The reality was that I was so sick food was not enjoyable. If I could do the day over I would eat out for breakfast, lunch and dinner with oreos and krispy kremes for a snack.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
