Well, I went to my husbands family for Christmas dinner and they made a meal that had barley in it. We didn’t know until after I had finished it so I ate a lot :( anyone has gone through this and has a positive thing to say? I am extremely terrified and worried I really don’t want to miss this baby it is our rainbow baby. I can’t even begin to explain how upset we are. We checked multiple times :( . Please help .

Welcome to the forum, Erika.ON!

Not sure what you are referring to when you say "we checked multiple times". The baby or the in laws' food?

"anyone has gone through this and has a positive thing to say?" Are you looking for commentary on the effect this "glutening experience" may have had on the baby you are carrying or how to handle the the situation with our in laws?

Hi, I meant with them and then food to make sure it was gluten-free. And they only realized it wasn’t three hours after I had eaten it :( .

Consider creating an information sheet and giving it to them. Just sounds like they need a little education and coaching as to what gluten is and where it is found. You might also check with the cook beforehand when family gathering plans are being made to go over the menu with him/her and ingredient lists. It needs to be handled graciously so that they don't put up walls.

Honest mistakes are sometimes made. At least your in laws are making an effort to accommodate your dietary needs it sounds like. They just need help in understanding the nuances of preparing gluten free food. Your experience highlights one of the more challenging aspects of celiac disease and that is the dangers of eating outside your own home where you don't have total control of food preparation. We all face this.

Barley is 8% gluten. Wheat is 85% gluten. With luck you may not be activated yet against the gluten in barley. Or your natural stomach acid neutralized the small amount and your vitamin D is high enough to dampen the response of the Celiac genes.

Similar proteins to the gliadin found in wheat exist as secalin in rye, hordein in barley, and avenins in oats and are collectively referred to as “gluten.”  ...The most immunodominant T-cell epitope is from α gliadin, although T-cell cross-reactivity against gluten-derived, secalin-derived, and hordein-derived peptides have been confirmed...The gluten found in all of these grains has been identified as the component capable of triggering the immune-mediated disorder, coeliac disease. What is gluten?

Oh thank you so much!! Yes I haven’t felt sick thank goodness 🙏🏻. And I ate a smaller amount than I thought too because it was only present on one of the dishes . Thank you for that info I didn’t know it and really appreciate it .

I’m sorry this happened! I’ve heard a lot of stories about pregnant women who didn’t know they had celiac and ate gluten the whole time and the baby was fine. The baby is protected inside it’s little sac so good chance everything is okay :)

      Confused with test results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      There is plenty of gluten food that is unplatable also. The trouble in restaurants is that wheat,  like the Frank's Hot Sauce commercial; "They throw that bleep on everything." In my opinion, the underlying problem is compromised immune system due to vitamin D deficiency and Green Revolution modern wheat.  50% of the industrialized world are vitamin D deficient and we are urged to avoid sun and limit oral vitamin D intake to the minimum.   Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity became an official diagnosis only 10 years after modern wheat was marketed.

      Does Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism elevate Ttg levels ? I have had 3 blood test results where ttg levels are around 39-43 (range 0-19). The first test was in 2021 before I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease. I had an endos

      I understand from one of our forum moderators who is UK-based that the benefits of having an official celiac diagnosis varies depending on your postal code. So then, it must be a benefit tied to local government rather than national government.

      I think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).  think if I gave up gluten and got a negative blood result and stick with it rather than do the gluten challenge (even though I’ve got no symptoms.. yet).

      Obviously, you have looked at all this from various angles and I respect that. But consider this, you could trial the gluten-free diet for six months to see if it results in lower ttg-iga scores. If so, it is another piece of evidence pointing to celiac disease. You could then go off the gluten fast and return to a gluten loaded diet for weeks or months and repeat the colonoscopy/endoscopy. My point is that trialing a gluten-free diet does not eliminate the possibility of getting valid celiac retesting at a late date if you are willing to engage with the gluten challenge.
