Just Ate Gluten. Anything I Can Do Now?

I am traveling and went to a health food store cafe. they had gluten free wraps and rolls for the veggie burgers and quesadillas. I got home and ate it and began to realize that the tortilla was grilled and decided to call the place. The kid that answered said most likely the tortilla was grilled on same surface as the gluten breads!!!

i am so angry at myself and at them. every salad bar item is labeled gluten-free so I "assumed" they were in the know...

so is there anything I can take now or do for the onslaught of pain and D? I have a special powder that my functional medicine internist gave me called GI revive that has herbs and such that helps heal the gut. any other home remedies that anyone uses?

by the way, has anyone successfully sued an establishment like this that claims to be gluten free? I am on vacation and not near my docs so I am upset

thanks group

You may not even get any symptoms so try to stay calm. I know your angry and upset right now and that is justified I would be upset also. Hopefully you will be fine but drink lots of fluids and go ahead and take the GI Revive. If you don't have the Revive with you get some Pepto Bismal.

I don't have any advice...just hoping you don't get symptoms.

I don't know what to tell your for the GI issues, mine are the opposite of yours. For the pain, I take Tylenol and/or Tylenol PM. The benadryl in the Tylenol PM helps me sleep through the worst of it. Warn the people you live/work/travel with that you will be more irratable because of the pain. Get some sleep and force feed the hydration. The reality is that there is little you can do except avoid taking risks.

I hope someone will give you tips on the GI issues.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
