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.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed.
