Was I Glutened?

Hi all! I have been gluten free for 3 weeks now. I have noticed a difference for sure. My question is this: I dined out yesterday at a local restaurant. Told the waiter i had a wheat allergy so he was really helpful and got grilled chicken for my salad instead of fried and even made sure to not have fried onions put on top of salad ( something i didn't even catch). Any way i woke up this morning with a splitting headache, felt grouchy and emotionaltoo. I'm fianlly feeling better this evening. I don't tend to get really volatile stomach stuff, so i'm wondering if my symptoms are "glutened" symptoms or not? thanks

Could be. Was the chicken a premade grilled chicken, or cooked on a contaminated grill? What did you use for salad dressing?

If it is gluten you need to avoid and not just wheat, then you should have said that. I am always leery of chicken breast unless I know it is being cooked from scratch. Much of the frozen stuff does contain gluten.

It could be that you got cross contaminated. It's important in restaurants that the cooking staff use clean utensils, clean cloths to wipe the plate edge, clean pots, and grill (they can clean a section for your food, or line with foil) for your food. They need to use fresh knives and not use the same cutting board as they do for everything else.

Sometimes chicken (or any meat, but frequently with chicken) can be pre-marinated--always ask :)

      Fibrin glue

      By trents · Posted

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_glue From what I can tell, all ingredients seem to be of animal origin. The article does indicate the exact composition varies from manufacturer to manufacturer so to get a more precise answer you would likely need to find out who manufactured the fibrin in question and contact them.

      Perhaps a silly question, but does fibrin glue, often used in surgery, contain gluten?  I've searched and searched and cannot find an answer.  Thanks, Tammie

      Test says no, but body says Yes?

      https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/immunoglobulin-test https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ I think for total IGA to be elevated to the point of being out of normal range there would need to be some chronic inflammation or infection happening, not just a short term event. As I said, I would visit with your doctor over this and I would ask to get that checked again in the near future after your back pain and cold have been resolved for a time.

      @knitty kitty Hi there, All my other bloods were within normal limits, though my iron has always been just a couple from being below range. Physio thought I had Ehlers-danlos syndrome, she sent a letter to my doctor but doctor said i don't have it. I've only had stomach issues for 1.5 years. About 4 years ago I lost a tonne of weight (I did go through a really traumatic experience at that time which I got c-ptsd from) then 2.5 years ago I put all the weight back on plus 14kg and all within 6 weeks. I went up 3 clothing sizes. Bloat up like I'm  months pregnant. Pins and needles, aching joints and muscles, major forgetfulness and brain fog. Only get about 5 hrs sleep, urinate every hour day or night. Nausea and bad belly pain and rashes. No diarrhea though. It all just seemed to come out of no where. It's crazy and I'm getting no answers. Biopsy getting done it 2 days.

      @Travel Celiac, Doing a happy dance with you!!!  You're doing very well!!!  Kudos for being a rescuer!  Hip Hip Hooray! Yes, strenuous exercise can raise your IgA, as can viral infections like the common cold or Covid.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9574171/ Do discuss with your doctor the nutritional deficiencies that frequently occur in Celiac Disease and on the gluten free diet.  Deficiencies in zinc, iron, the B vitamins, Vitamin C and Vitamin D can all affect your ability to fight off viruses and repair stressed muscles.
