Hi! I've only just been gluten-free for not even two weeks now, but have already experienced quite a bit of symptom relief. Yesterday, my husband and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch after church. I VERY carefully went over the 'allergin' list to decide on my meal (which should have been not only gluten-free, but dairy free, nut free, soy free, egg free, and corn free), in additon to STRESSING to the waitress that I could NOT have those things. And now today, my back and feet are KILLING me again. They haven't hurt in about a week up until today. Does this sound like possible CC? Or is this still part of the detox process? I've been having insomnia, fatigue, and headaches (all much worse) since I started my elimination diet.

Hi! Any time we eat in restaurants we assume the responsibility of risk. That's just life living with Celiac. I have never been to Buffalo Wild Wings before, but I can assume that they are just like every chain restaurant.

You have only entered the world of gluten free living just a few weeks ago. I don't know your history, but often, it takes weeks, if not months to get your body to settle down after fighting gluten. Most foods can be an irritant until some healing can take place, gluten free or not.

You need some time under your belt, before you can attribute something to cross contamination.

Best advise I can offer is to eat simply with natural foods and keep a food log in the days to come. :)

A few years ago BWW told me that naked wings were cooked in dedicated fryers but now it appears that isn't necessarily true. The last time we went to our local one the manager took over my order and specifically cooked it in a clean fryer.

Lisa is right, for a while you need to avoid eating out AND stay away from processed food as much as possible. After healing more, then you can venture out. Then you'll have a better idea about whether specific food is the problem.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
