I'm so sorry that you got glutened :(

Last time I got glutened at a restaurant, I let the manager know, so that he could make sure that it didn't happen to another person (they put pancake batter in my omlet that I had stressed needed to be gluten and dairy free).

I hope that you feel better soon.

I find that saying "gluten-free" means very little to MOST restaurant people without lengthy explanations.

Therefore I just tell them I'm allergic to wheat, bread, flour, most cereals and grains and many additives because they have flour and derivative of wheat in them (e.g. non-clear sauces, gravies, dressings, etc).

The most common response to the word "gluten" I get is about "glucose" and how they have sugar-free stuff.

I told one waitress (very sweet young 17-yr old who really wanted to help) that I couldn't have bread, flour, wheat, etc" and she brought me a salad with extra croutons! She said I know you can't have the dressing so I gave you extra coupons. She was so embarrassed and quickly went and had a special salad made for me, in a separate preparation bowl. But then she brought me onion rings with my steak because she knew I couldn't eat the rolls!

I've found that eating in restaurants, without a gluten-free menu, almost always leads to eating gluten in something. Unless you ask for a "NAKED STEAK" or "NAKED FISH" or "PLAIN SALAD" or stuff like that - makes eating out very boring and unpleasant.

I'm dying for a KRISPY CREME or DUNKIN DONUT!!!!!

And I have to cook for my father and he eats a lot of whole wheat stuff and cookies and crackers.

Makes me sniff the baked stuff and die for some.

There's probably no way to prove that you got glutened there, but you could call and let them know and try to figure out what when wrong. But the next time a celiac comes in, they'd probably get a different waiter so I'm not sure how much good it would do. I always carry around a little card with what I can and cannot eat on it. A lot of times the waiter will take it back to the cook to make sure my meal is ok. I've been lucky - I haven't been glutened at a restaurant yet, so maybe the card works!

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By Monte Carlo Fine Taste · Posted

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.
