Glutened By Something I Ate Safely Last Week

I just pulled some brisket out of the freezer that I cooked last week. Ate some with the same BBQ sauce I had last week. Ate nothing else, used clean utensils, but had significant glutening symptoms within 30 minutes. Ate the same stuff the same way 3 times a week ago and was fine.

Any ideas as to what might have happened?

Could the BBQ sauce have gone bad or gotten contamination somehow? Did you have to slice the brisket on an old cutting board or reheat it in old tupperware with scrathes or in an old scrathed non-stick pan?

Good call on the cutting board. It was one I used to slice home-made bread months ago. Must have contaminated some of the meat. It is amazing that gluten could be on something I have washed and washed and not used in months, but that must be it.

Anyone else use the BBQ sauce? We have had the tutorial on pour the sauce from a couple of inches above the glutenous burger bun. My boys remember well. They actually pour onto the meat not the bun. Hub forgets. Touching the sauce bottle to the food isn't a good idea anyway.

Anyway, you have to watch out for those sneaky gluten b$$$$$$$s! :ph34r:

I'd like to add that Celiac Disease is an Autoimmune Disease. Once the autoimmune mechanism has been triggered, other things other than gluten may set it off as well. Your symptoms may have been caused by your immune system attacking your body, but not necessarily triggered by gluten. Other things that can set off a sensitive immune system are infections, stress, environmental toxins. Remember, it's not just the gluten. You have to care for your immune system as well.

You have to care for your immune system as well.

I get so frustrated I could cry sometimes when my husband has distinctive gluten reactions and I can't for the life of me determine where the gluten came from. What else should we be doing to care for his immune system? What are some other triggers common to people with gluten intolerance?

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      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

      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.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
