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!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
