Man Sues T.G.I. Fridays Over Allergic Reaction to Non-Gluten-Free Hamburger Bun

For those of us with the extreme vomiting reaction to gluten, I think that it is the vomiting, not the gluten itself, that causes the scary stuff—precipitous drop in blood pressure and in blood sugar if you are diabetic, leading to passing out. Absent the vomiting the other stuff would not likely happen.  So my doctor has prescribed for me strong anti nausea suppositories (pills would just urp up.). So far haven’t had to use them, but they do assuage the fear of eating out.  The guy in the suit is claiming anaphylactic shock, which sounds like an allergy, not a celiac reaction.

For me it's not JUST the vomiting, but the severe stomach spasms and cramping, severe diarrhea and dehydration and pain. Everyone is different and has different severity of allergic reactions, but I also have never heard of anaphylactic shock with a celiac reaction.

Interesting.  For me the ABSENCE of diarrhea and cramps is one way I tell a gluten experience from a normal virus/food poisoning episode. Just incredible nausea and vomiting from gluten  But I never had “gut” symptoms pre diagnosis. Just super severe anemia. The vomiting reaction is POST gluten free diet.

  Dehydration, yes—that will send your system spiraling
