Got Glutened By Frying Oil

I was really silly yesterday. I was craving something substantial for lunch so my coworkers and I went to a burger place that does gluten free buns. I also decided to get chips (fries) because I just really felt like them. The burger place were great, they described exactly which ingredients contained gluten and which didn't and warned me that the frying oil was also used for a breaded product. But since I'm not diagnosed celiac I decided I'd experiment. Ugh. D later that afternoon and evening and I couldn't eat dinner (amazingly out of the ordinary for me!) and then I fell asleep on the sofa at about 8pm (not terribly unusual) and stayed asleep there about 3 hours, which is unusual because my sofa is super tiny and I usually wake after about 20 minutes. I woke around 11pm and went straight to bed and slept for another 11 hours. I'm always an early riser, I wouldn't sleep til 11 usually unless I'd be up until 4 am.

So I guess I really am that sensitive to gluten. I felt fantastic when I first went gluten free at the beginning of June, but less of a difference as I went along (I think dairy needs to go too but I've been resisting). I'm not remotely tempted to eat gluten again, which surprises me since I tend to be the kind of dieter who can easily justify 'just a little bit' even though I know that with sugary things a little bit means a whole lot soon after. But I guess I was wondering whether I really was as sensitive to gluten as other around here, given that I wasn't as sick as others were before I started investigating. My blood tests were all negtive (despite a 3 month gluten challenge) and I don't have the gene but my doctor supported me going gluten free as she feels it's not really all that good for anyone. I live by myself and mostly take my lunch to work so being gluten free hasn't been all that hard, so I guess yesterday was a very good learning experience considering I'll be travelling for a month in the US later this year. I can't let be anything less than 100% with this.

Better you find out when you can be at home in your own bathroom then when you are traveling. I know several people who tested negative for Celiac but have other GI problems and their GIs told them to go gluten-free or at least gluten lite because it is hard for everyone to digest.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      I love Middle Eastern food and eggplant, and here is another version we shared some time back:

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
