We had a barbecue yesterday. I used Kraft Mayo, French's regular yellow mustard, Bush's baked beans with maple syrup, the regular potatoes, boiled eggs in a potato salad, my own homemade pickle relish, Heinz ketcup, I drank a Hire's Brand Root Beer. I ate a plain hamburger patty - no bun - not even near a bun. I ate part of a smoked sausage - no brand name, so that might have been it. I got so bloated I thought I was six months pregnant and I just don't feel good.

If your hamburger was cooked right on the grill, it may have got contaminated from previuos cooking (epecially if anyone has warmed up their buns on the grill). To prevent getting sick from contaminated grills, I either wash the grill very well or cook my food on tinfoil.

We used my own brand new Weber bbq - so no possible way of having gluten on the bbq. We do not cook any buns on the grill ever!!! I also ate some potato chips, but don't remember the brand - the ingredient list was simple - potatoes and salt and oil.

My money is on the sausage. You never know what fillers they might put in. Hope you feel better soon!

I agree that it was probably the sausage, and it could have also been the chips. A lot of them have cross contamination issues due to being made on the same lines, etc. A few of the wrong chips and I am VERY sick. Plus the wrong sausage!!

Feel better soon!!! The rest of the meal sounded yummy!! ;)

Yeah it may have been the chips, a lot of chips are contaminated. Some companies produce them on the same line as gluten chips. Let us know if you remember the brand.

Was the potato salad homemade?? Could have been that or the sausage, or maybe both.

Good idea... homemade mayonnaise can have wheat in it.

I've never heard of Hire's brand root beer, so I can't comment on whether it is gluten-free or not, but I wanted to comment on the root beer. My middle child has always had a very sensitive stomach, so it was not surprising when he came back with the most intestinal damage. He gets a severe stomachache from rootbeer, event he gluten-free kind. There must be something in the formulation that doesn't agree with him. He gets very bloated, and has a bad achy stomach, then lots of gas afterwards.

Just a thought. It could have been the sausage or the potato salad.

God bless,

Mariann

Anything that pickled like Relish will bloat you up. When I eat a pickle I'll go up on the scale about 5 pounds. Also the mustard can do this to you. Now the Root Beer - I don't know anything about this brand but know that most all root beer have gluten. And the smoked sausage could have gluten as well - they load these up with so many preservatives like when you buy sandwich meat and with celiac your body sometimes can't handle all the different stuff is has to break down.

I have a problem with Bush's beans because they contain corn syrup and I have an intolerance to corn. I get a bad taste and nausea after eating.

Most everything was homemade - I used Kraft Mayo - and there was nothing naughty on the label. Actually, I read the smoked sausage label, and ya know, there was nothing bad in it. HOWEVER, the next day, I drank a sip of that root beer, and stomach ache almost immediately. So I do think it was the root beer. Barque's doesn't seem to bother me. The rest of the bottle of Hire's root beer headed on down the drain!

Thanks for all the replies - you guys are great!

Barq's Root Beer has gluten in it.

no it doesn't . It is a Coca Cola product and IS listed as gluten free.

Hire's is listed as gluten free as well.

It wouldn't have been the mayonnaise then, Kraft will clearly indicate gluten on the ingredient list.

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy).

      Thank you for the response and article. I was placed on the Mediterranean diet and been on that now for about 3 weeks. While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is...

      Hi, I was recently diagnosed with stage 3 NASH and doctor is concerned something is caused my disease to progress quicker than they would expect. During blood tests a celiac screen was pulled as my mom is a celiac. My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am...

      To put this in perspective, most recent pretest "gluten challenge" guidelines for those having already been eating reduced gluten or gluten free for a significant time period is the daily consumption of 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks leading up to the day of testing (antibody or biopsy). And I would certainly give it more than two weeks to ensure a valid test experience. Short answer: If it were me, yes, I would assume I have celiac disease and launch full bore into gluten-free eating. I think the tTG-IGA is reliable enough and your score is solid enough to make that a reasonable conclusion. Here is an article to help you get off to a good start. It's easy to achieve a reduced gluten free state but much more difficult to achieve consistency in truly gluten-free eating. Gluten is hidden in so many ways and found in so many food products where you would never expect to find it. For example, soy sauce and canned tomato soup (most canned soups, actually), pills, medications, health supplements. It can be disguised in terminology. And then there is the whole issue of cross contamination where foods that are naturally gluten free become contaminated with gluten incidentally in agricultural activities and manufacturing processes: Eating out at restaurants is a mine field for those with celiac disease because you don't know how food is handled back in the kitchen. Gluten free noodles boiled in the same water that was used for wheat noodles, eggs cooked on the same griddle that French toast was, etc.

While not gluten free I am eating very little bread or anything with gluten ie a slice of whole wheat bread every couple days so assume that would cause issues now with a biopsy.  With the condition my liver is in I am unsure moving back to higher bread consumption is ideal.  In this scenario would my test results be enough to assume positive Celiac and just move forward gluten free?

      Welcome to the forum, @MI-Hoosier! You are operating on a misconception about your "mixed" test results. You only had two celiac disease diagnostic tests run out of six that could have been ordered if your doctor had opted for a complete celiac panel. It is perfectly normal to not test positive for all possible celiac disease diagnostic tests. That is why there is more than one test option. It is the same way with other diagnostic testing procedures for many or most other diseases. Generally, when diagnosing a condition, a number of different tests are run and a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at the total body of evidence. The tTG-IGA test is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing and the one most commonly ordered by doctors. You were strongly positive for that test. It was not an unequivocal result, IMO.  Having said that, it is standard procedure to confirm a positive celiac disease blood antibody test result with an endoscopy/biopsy which is still considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Had your tTG-IGA been 150 or greater, your doctor many have opted out of the endoscopy/biopsy. The absence of GI distress in the celiac disease population is very common. We call them "silent celiacs". That can change as damage to the lining of the small bowel worsens. Elevated liver enzymes/liver stress is very common in the celiac population. About 18% of celiacs experience it. I was one of them. Persistently elevated liver enzymes over a period of years in the absence of other typical causes such as hepatitis and alcohol abuse was what eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis. But it took thirteen years to get that figured out. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes were back into normal range. Thank goodness, there is more awareness these days about the many long fingers of celiac disease that are not found in the classic category of GI distress. Today, there have been over 200 symptoms/medical conditions identified as connected to celiac disease. It is critical that you not begin a gluten free diet until your endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel is over. Doing so before that procedure will invalidate it because it will allow healing of the small bowel lining to begin. Here is a link to an article covering celiac disease blood antibody testing:

My ttg was a 49.4 (normal >15) but my endomysial antibody was negative. I have never had gluten symptoms and no issues with bread and am 54. Do I need a biopsy to rule celiac in or out with this mixed test? Any thoughts are appreciated.
