Salad Bar

I had a salad bar today- only having lettuce, carrots, cheese, eggs, and my own gluten-free turkey and my own dressing.

After I ate it I got bloated. All the things I choose were away from the crutons, and I went way after lunch after everything had been changed out and was new.

What do you think made me bloated?

Could have been CC from stuff being chopped on the same chopping board. Is it possible you had something earlier in the day and it got you after a few hours? This is what's so hard with celiac. I hope you feel better soon.

First, for most people (celiac or not) salads are hard to digest. If bloating is your only symptom...you might want to lay off salads for a while.

OR maybe carbonation from a drink...not all roads lead to gluten.

I would stay away from anything with the word "bar" in it unless it's serving alcohol. Way too much risk of cross contamination. Too many hands in all of the items if you know what I mean.

LOL! That made me laugh.

I could see a wayward crouton flying pretty far across a salad bar, or crumbs getting wherever. I've been to a couple of buffets and had no problem though. One was a fancy place for a wedding and the chef gave me a personal tour of the buffet and went through all the ingredients. The other was at El Torito for the brunch. I just had an omelette and some fruit and it was fine. It was a wedding related event too. I wouldn't risk it if I didn't have to though.

I don't think there was any gluten since I only had the bloating, and it was almost immediate. I ate all my own food prior. I was just wondering if it's normal for sensitive tummies to be bothered by lettuce and carrots.

I also stay away from salad bars but that said I still have problems with lettuce. It isn't a gluten issue but I do my 'salads' without it even after all these years.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - 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. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
