Just Ate Gluten. Anything I Can Do Now?

I am traveling and went to a health food store cafe. they had gluten free wraps and rolls for the veggie burgers and quesadillas. I got home and ate it and began to realize that the tortilla was grilled and decided to call the place. The kid that answered said most likely the tortilla was grilled on same surface as the gluten breads!!!

i am so angry at myself and at them. every salad bar item is labeled gluten-free so I "assumed" they were in the know...

so is there anything I can take now or do for the onslaught of pain and D? I have a special powder that my functional medicine internist gave me called GI revive that has herbs and such that helps heal the gut. any other home remedies that anyone uses?

by the way, has anyone successfully sued an establishment like this that claims to be gluten free? I am on vacation and not near my docs so I am upset

thanks group

You may not even get any symptoms so try to stay calm. I know your angry and upset right now and that is justified I would be upset also. Hopefully you will be fine but drink lots of fluids and go ahead and take the GI Revive. If you don't have the Revive with you get some Pepto Bismal.

I don't have any advice...just hoping you don't get symptoms.

I don't know what to tell your for the GI issues, mine are the opposite of yours. For the pain, I take Tylenol and/or Tylenol PM. The benadryl in the Tylenol PM helps me sleep through the worst of it. Warn the people you live/work/travel with that you will be more irratable because of the pain. Get some sleep and force feed the hydration. The reality is that there is little you can do except avoid taking risks.

I hope someone will give you tips on the GI issues.

      I’m so confused…

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start...

      Recipe Apps?

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances. It's a web site but there's also an app.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      You could try white willow bark, but make sure it's in a safe dosage range. Herbs aren't regulated the way prescriptions are. White willow bark works a lot like aspirin but is often milder on the stomach. I used to use Nature's Way white willow bark. I was told it was corn free at that time. Double check with the manufacturer to make sure it's free of...

      Be sure to bring this up with your doctor, as there is always the possibility that you've got other issues besides celiac disease.

      Open Food Facts is a free food database: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/discover  There's an app to access it which is also free (with no in app commercials).   You can use it to look up information about foods such as ingredients, Nova score (to help avoid ultra processed foods), environmental impact and nutritional scores, allergy related information and more.  It can scan a product's barcodes and bring up relevant information about that product.  The project relies on volunteers to share information about products.  We can add information on our favorite gluten free products to share with each other.  It has several gluten free items in the database already:  https://world.openfoodfacts.org/cgi/search.pl?search_terms=gluten+free&search_simple=1&action=process  I think it could make a great tool for people with celiac.
