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!

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.

      Toothpaste question.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, I've been using a gluten free labeled toothpaste since being diagnosed with celiac. No big deal, the toothpaste seems to work. Question is, I just realized it contains hydrated silica.  Now, I've heard that silicon dioxide can cause issues in some people with celiac (was that ever confirmed though?), so to be safe, I cut it out of my diet entirely. But, as I understand it, hydrated silica is related to silicon dioxide. Is that something to worry about, or is the hydrated form not known to cause issues like the silicon dioxide form?  I've never seen it in food, but nearly every toothpaste I look at contains hydrated silica?  Issue or not?  Any scientific research (Not opinion pieces, not health bloggers, you get my gist), but actual science, that says it's an issue? I have a hard time believing 99% of what I read on random internet searches.    Thanks so much, Renee.
