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.

I love beer, so I drank a six pack of Foster's Lager. I drank it throughout the day and cherished every sip!

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 do that too...it's in the back of my Day Planner. :ph34r:

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.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary depending on where the samples are taken and how many are collected. It’s also true that celiac disease exists on a spectrum, and many people have serious symptoms and immune responses without yet showing classic biopsy damage. Managing diabetes alongside suspected or confirmed celiac disease is incredibly tricky, especially when healthcare providers don’t work as a team to support your whole health. You shouldn’t be forced to choose between controlling your blood sugar or protecting your gut and immune system. A well-planned gluten-free diet can be both nourishing and diabetes-friendly, especially with guidance from a knowledgeable dietitian who understands both conditions. It’s also deeply concerning that your symptoms—neurological issues, severe fatigue, GI distress, rashes, and more—are being dismissed. You’re not just describing discomfort; you’re describing a level of illness that’s life-altering, and your instincts that something is seriously wrong are absolutely worth trusting. You know your body better than anyone. You deserve a team that listens, believes you, and helps you build a realistic, sustainable path to healing. Whether it’s celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or something else, you have every right to go gluten-free permanently if that’s what makes you feel functional. Many people never get a “perfect” diagnosis but reclaim their health by honoring their own experience and choosing a path of least harm. You are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. Keep advocating for yourself—you and your daughter both deserve a healthier, more stable life.

      Am I celiac or not?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I have posted a lot on here and find that the support , advice and information here is much more helpful than anything else.. ever. I am really tired of the back and forth advice in the medical community and I am beyond frustrated and over all of it currently. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I have positive TTG IGA antibodies - and I have had these every time I have been tested. The first time they were positive I was told I did not have celiac and couldn't have celiac but I was gluten intolerant and to go gluten free. I did this for about 3-4 months, dedicated I might add, and I did feel better. However, my blood glucose went up drastically and since I was already pre-diabetic and insulin resistant already, I was then told to stop the gluten free diet and resume eating gluten as it would be better for my diabetes.I have been on a yo yo diet and roller coaster since between the gluten free and not gluten free. I decided to see a gastro doc and after him promising me I had celiac based on all my symptoms and positive antibodies but we needed that actual diagnosis in order to be treated correctly, and we just needed the EGD with biopsies to have that diagnosis, I reluctantly agreed to go fully on the gluten challenge for 8 weeks prior to having an EGD and colonoscopy, both with biopsies . The gluten challenge was miserable. At first I was horribly constipated, I gained 9 pounds during the challenge, had horrible swelling issues, terrible bloating, looked and felt pregnant, had rashes and itching, couldn't stay awake, had extreme brain fog, exhaustion, speech difficulties, palpitations, tachycardia , menstrual issues, had an insatiable hunger, mood swings, just all the things. All of this to get the tests and biopsies done and they looked "okay" .. so even though I was told to live like a celiac all of the sudden I am no longer at risk.. I am just gluten intolerant.  I also have uncontrolled diabetes that they feel is made worse by the gluten free diet, so again after all these tests, but having all the symptoms and still having positive antibodies I feel like I am stuck with the choice in regards to my health of addressing the diabetes or the celiac (still don't believe I am not actually Celiac).  So I have been having gluten off and on to try and manage my diabetes, even though most recently, because I have been so physically sick again (that can't be good for diabetes either right??)  with stomach pain, burning, diarrhea, stools that are yellow in color and contain mucus, nausea, some vomiting, sour stomach, I was told I need to just eat gluten free so my stomach will improve, and we will just put you on insulin - I don't want to go on insulin yet, and especially if I do not actually have to. I don't understand why I am backed in this corner of feeling like I have to choose to eat for my diabetes or my stomach, but not both, but I am over it.   So currently in regards to GI symptoms - I consistently have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, gas , bloating, reflux, sour stomach, yellow stools with mucus.  I am also exhausted and have been itching. I have been having increased swelling, pain, and horrible numbness and tingling, especially in my hands. I am also having an increase in relentless nightmares and night terrors. I have also been having chest pain and palpitations and tachycardia. I have even tried taking digestive enzymes to help break down gluten - (specifically the Gliadin X) and they just seem to make me feel worse. I have trouble with digestion of things like salads, beans, broccoli, etc. on a good day, and that is even worse when I have gluten on any kind of semi-regular basis.   I just can't keep doing this. Mentally, physically and emotionally I am just DONE. I already have a lot of stress in my life.. I am a single mom to a daughter who has her own health issues and is somewhat special needs. I need to be 100% to be what she needs from me, especially with all the running back and forth we have been doing to the doctors and hospitals. So I am no doctor... but I just don't think they are right about any of this. I truly feel I am celiac.. and either the damage just wasn't bad yet, or they just missed the area that has damage, or its all a precursor to full blown celiac (kind of like pre-diabetes/insulin resistance is for actual diabetes). I don't want to live miserable and feel bad all the time. I also don't want my diabetes to be so out of control I have major complications, and I don't feel like insulin is a great option if not truly needed. At this point, if I ever feel like I have a somewhat clear path of what I am dealing with,  I feel like I am looking at MONTHS to YEARS of trying to heal my body. Please help!

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      No, I have not been checked for any other deficiencies or issues. No one will check these things since my EGD looked normal and there was no damage. I recently saw my gastro doc and it is just frustrating. I have diabetes, which is basically uncontrolled, and I keep being told, stop eating gluten free, because the gluten free diet is contributing to my diabetes worsening. Then I am told oh just eat gluten free and you can go on insulin, which I don't feel like is a good answer either. So I end up eating gluten because they tell me it's okay or that I should bc of my diabetes. I am so sick today - physically mentally emotionally - just tired of this roller coaster ride.  I am open  for any realistic advice... I feel like I get more support here than in real life
