I remember going to my in laws the weekend before and having a big Italian meal- pasta, breads, etc. I also had a chicken finger sub that weekend.

Pizza sounds good! Enjoy!! I tried gluten-free pizza from my local pizza place recently and it was very good!

I remember because I got so sick. It was a sandwich from Jack in the Box. I was going to gluten challenge so I went by Jack in the Box on the way home since they were only a few blocks away to start it. They had grilled French bread sandwiches on a promotion. I got one with ham and swiss, got sick, and decided I didn't want to put up with being that sick for a month. I would have chosen something a little better had I known it was going to be my last full-gluten meal. :lol:

December 27, 2009: Breakfast at my in-laws house, the main features of which were my mother-in-law's special bread that she only makes at Christmas and my sister-in-law's cookies. Ugh. I was already suffering from three days of family festivities (my own personal gluten challenge, although I had been avoiding obvious gluten when possible) and that pushed me over the edge. I haven't intentionally consumed gluten since.

It was a gluten challenge - a tablespoon of vital wheat gluten in a bowl of yogurt. YUCK! But it told me that gluten does NOT sit well with me. :P

I'm sure it was something with Barilla pasta. It was so filling and of course, too filling.

Hi I thought I would update on this I went for the camera. They had to stop the procedure as I was in distress so they only managed to get one sample. I can not remember a thing so I dont know exactly what happened.

Be glad you don't remember :( I remember the colonoscopy and endoscopy..they kept giving me the shots of pain relievers...but I felt it all and remember the whole thing! At least I know I have Celiacs...so it was worth it. Hope you get some answers!

I have one tiny memory of trying to sit up. I have a liver scan on Monday so that should go better :lol: . I was reading online if you do show distress they should stop it straight away but that must have been terrible for you.

Fried shrimp and hushpuppies, although now I wish I had gone to paneras or my fav mexican place! Papa johns perhaps.. Those are what I miss right now. However, going gluten-free has made a big difference..not trying to figure out other intolerances.

Pizza from pizza hut and a 6 inch sandwich from subway. all on the same night :lol:

I knew I would miss those, but I will miss the subway sandwich the most. :P

Spanakopita. Although I was feeling pretty bad at the time - and stressed about not being able to eat bread/pasta/cake etc for the rest of my life - so I didn't really enjoy it.

I do really miss filo pastry though.

Don't remember but it appears my seafood dinner the other night had it. My fault for not really investigating the ingredients.

I'm going to PIG OUT tomorrow at my favorite Chinese buffet and eat orange chicken and noodles until it hurts... literally. <_<

I just had my EGD and was just diagnosed. My last meal will be tasty but I'm going to have a good attitude about all this so no worries.

When I first suspected gluten intolerance I was very very well behaved & cut it all out right away, which made me feel amazing. But between talking to my doctor about it and having the blood test I went on a massive gluten binge, pigging out on hamburgers and kebabs and just about anything else that comes wrapped in gluteny goodness. Probably just as well - when I got my results, the antibodies were so high (>300) I didn't need a biopsy to confirm! :P

A sandwich... From a bakery called Paradise bakery. It was good, but sickening... Sad to say. I also had gotten sick because someone ate tuna fish around me... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... Silly law firm getting so much bad stuff to eat for me. Between gluten and tuna, I can never eat here... (Thankfully I bring my own lunches now.... mmmmm cinnamon bread. yum. I am so glad I don't have to completely give up bread and that there is gluten free stuff out there.)

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a...

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to...

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
