gluten free for one week and I felt great. BUT today I felt so good that I took my daughter to swiss chalet. I thought, maybe I will try something with gluten in it and see how I do. Well I just pigged out today seriously bad. I ordered a 1/4 chicken with ribs and it came with a huge pile of french fries, coleslaw and a bun on my plate. I didn't eat the bun but I ate 4 ribs, some of my chicken and most of the fries. I ate the little coleslaw and then skipped the bun. I drank lemonade also. Afterwards I felt pretty stuffed but my daughter and I wanted something sweet. So as we were walking back to the car we stopped at Starbucks and she got a drink there and I got a fudge oat square (definitly had gluten in it) But I thought what the heck I will just see what happens.... So ate that .....stupid me...I could have just waited and got a sweet gluten free goody later. We were just having such a good time and just dumb decisions...

I don't know if it was just the huge meal, the high fat or the gluten in the food but half hour later I was shopping and I had to go to the bathroom. there I had a very large loose BM. Then we went home and I had more loose BM.

So was it the large meal that triggered it, the fat, or the gluten ? or just a big combo of it all? Do you get sick that fast after eating gluten.

I really don't know if I am gluten sensitive or not. But eating gluten free for a week has made me feel almost 100% better. But during that week I also increased my water intake and eating more fruits so not sure if it was that or just cutting out the gluten.

Anyways I have diarrhea .......boooo me !!!! can't eat like that anymore. UGH

Likely the fries. If you google 'swiss chalet allergy guide' you can see what is and isn't safe. The fries are not safe. The guide says: All fried products may contain one or all of the allergens in this table as the fryer oil can be a source of cross-contamination of allergens

Why are you gluten free? Diagnosed or just experimenting? I think you found your answer.

There were so many things wrong with that meal & dessert from a gluten free perspective (not just the fries). Never eat anything that has touched gluteny bread. Not sure how the chicken or ribs were cooked but lots of places put soy sauce (usually contains wheat) in the marinade or BBQ sauce. Of course the dessert bar was made with wheat flour.

The safest thing you had was the lemonade.

Remember even one crumb of gluten can cause a reaction. So it could easily have started with the bun you didn't eat. Kareng is 100% right, none of that food was safe for someone with gluten problems.

It says that because it is true at some locations. Most full-sized Swiss Chalet locations with table service have dedicated fryers for the fries. But the locations where Harvey's shares the facility usually share the fryers.

It's the gluten.

You will probably get the same reaction every time you test it.

It is hard to believe, but it is true that traces of gluten can cause the same reaction as eating a whole gluten dessert.

I feel for you and hope you feel better when it is out of your system.

You should go back to gluten free.

That was a perfect "gluten challenge" though!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
