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:

Mine was a sandwich...just a ham and cheese sandwich. With Doritos.

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.

      Living with celiac disease can be especially hard when you’re in a smaller town and don’t have many people around who truly understand it, so you’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. Ongoing fatigue, joint pain, and headaches are unfortunately common in people with celiac disease, even years after diagnosis, and they aren’t always caused by gluten exposure alone. Many people find that issues like low iron, low vitamin D, thyroid problems, other autoimmune conditions, or lingering inflammation can contribute to that deep exhaustion, so it’s reasonable to push your doctor for more thorough blood work beyond just vitamin B. As for eggs, it’s also not unusual for people with celiac disease to develop additional food intolerances over time; tolerating eggs as an ingredient but not on their own can point to sensitivity to the proteins when they’re concentrated. Some people do better avoiding eggs for a while, then carefully testing them again later. Most importantly, trust your body—if something consistently makes you feel awful, it’s okay to avoid it even if it’s technically “allowed.” Many of us have had to advocate hard for ourselves medically, and connecting with other people with celiac disease, even online, can make a huge difference in feeling supported and less isolated.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Cecile! It is common for those with celiac disease to develop sensitivity/intolerance to non-gluten containing foods. There is a high incidence of this with particularly with regard to dairy products and oats but soy, eggs and corn are also fairy common offenders. Like you eggs give me problems depending on how they are cooked. I don't do well with them when fried or scrambled but they don't give me an issue when included in baked and cooked food dishes or when poached. I have done some research on this strange phenomenon and it seems that when eggs are cooked with water, there is a hydrolysis process that occurs which alters the egg protein such that it does not trigger the sensitivity/intolerance reaction. Same thing happens when eggs are included in baked goods or other cooked dishes since those recipes provide moisture.  So, let me encourage you to try poaching your eggs when you have them for breakfast. You can buy inexpensive egg poacher devices that make this easy in the microwave. For instance:  https://www.amazon.com/Poacher-Microwave-Nonstick-Specialty-Cookware/dp/B0D72VLFJR/ Crack the eggs into the cups of the poacher and then "spritz" some water on top of them after getting your fingers wet under the faucet. About 1/4 teaspoon on each side seems to work. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top and then snap the poacher shut. I find that with a 1000 watt microwave, cooking for about 2 minutes or slightly more is about right. I give them about 130 seconds. Fatigue and joint pain are well-established health problems related to celiac disease.  Are you diligent to eat gluten-free? Have you been checked recently for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Especially iron stores, B12 and D3. Have you had your thyroid enzyme levels checked? Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? If not, you probably should be. Celiac disease is also a nutrient deficiency disease because it reduces the efficiency of nutrient absorption by the small bowel. We routinely recommend celiacs to supplement with a high potency B-complex vitamin, D3, Magnesium glycinate (the "glycinate" is important) and Zinc. Make sure all supplements are gluten-free. Finally, don't rule out other medical problems that may or may be associated with your celiac disease. We celiacs often focus on our celaic disease and assume it is the reason for all other ailments and it may not be. What about chronic fatigue syndrome for instance?
