Not Sure If It's Gluten Or Something Else

We had KFC yesterday and I've had something going on with myself and my daughter. My daughter is coeliac, my tests are due back this week. I have other symptoms but don't recall this sort of reaction. We had the meal around 3pm yesterday and I was fine up until almost 7 last night. Since then I've had bad tummy pains, wind and a weird fullness, not wanting anything to eat because I don't feel right. She too has had stomach pain around same time last night and also this morning. Everyone else who had it is fine.

Is it possible KFC or any other foods can have much higher gluten content and I could have suffered from an attack? I occasionally get bloating and uncomfortableness after some meals but I haven't made a note of which foods have done this.

I hate not knowing my result but just wondering yet again whether I have celiac disease as daughter who has it has same symptoms.

It is pretty common for there to be more than one celiac in a family. There really isn't anything safe for us at KFC whether they are higher in gluten than fryed chicken you would make at home I don't know. It does sound like you both reacted strongly to it. After the biopsies are done you can go ahead and get on the diet strictly and hopefully you will both be feeling better soon. You don't have to wait on the biopsy results to start the diet full force.

Thanks for the reply. I'm feeling better now. I also find I have a lot of wind in the mornings, I don't know if thats a common symptom too.

I'm not aware of anything that's really safe for us at KFC, even their grilled chicken is made in flour! Glad you're feeling better.

From what I've read on the KFC website, there's nothing at KFC that we can have aside from the coleslaw. Even the grilled chicken has gluten in it. I'd stay away if I was you.

Well that was our last one anyway :) This week and next are our last gluten ones then we're gluten free. Bought some products to try but will still be on gluten mainly as my daughter has her biopsy on Tuesday.

Gluten or not, can't even the strongest intestinal tracts expect this kind of reaction after visiting the colonel? :P

Pretty much any fast food place for that matter. I don't miss fast food AT ALL since going gluten free.

I get horrendous wind after MSG and tartrazine, so maybe could be an additive they use that is causing a reaction too.

Hope all goes well on biopsy day :)

Thanks hun. I've just glutened myself so will see if anything happens. I'm going to pay extra close attention until I get results. It takes so long!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      Celiac getting dentures

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
