Is This Normal

I am new to all of this. I have been gluten free for just over a week now. I did bc I have various issues that always arise and when researching all can be linked to gluten. After day 2 I felt horrible but after that have felt better than ever. Well today I had a taco from Moes and about 4 chips. On they way home I started feeling really bad achy almost and wanted to throw up my food. I read on here that the chips and shells may have been contaminated. Would I seriously get this bad of a reaction after only a week? I have been a HUGE bread eater all of my life and was really hoping I could still eat some gluten. Is this normal or am I just crazy? I am starting to feel a little better but never want to eat a taco there again!

Well tacos are pretty greasy, which can upset a damaged digestive system. Since you've just started, I would suggest staying away from restaurants until you have a gluten-free routine down. If it makes you feel any better, my body reacted oddly during my first week as well. Just give it time and stick to foods that you know for sure are gluten free :)

It sounds like you probably got glutened from Moe's. A lot of us react very strongly to small amounts of gluten after being gluten free. The last I checked, Moe's chips were listed as made from flour tortillas and not safe for celiacs, although maybe they changed their ingredients.

Moe's tacos are not gluten-free. They fry them in a shared fryer with gluten foods. They have gluten-free info on their website and tacos and chips are not on the list of safe foods.

You really have to research before you go anywhere, never assuming that because a food seems gluten-free, then it is. McDonald's, for example, has gluten in their fries. Taco Bell has it in all items on the menu but the mexican rice. Some places but gluten in their beef patties, and so on.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
