Crying Over Chicken!


MegRie

Recommended Posts

MegRie Rookie

Well, I've been out of town for almost a weeks so the food for me at home is pretty scarce. As I was out and about running errands today I got REALLY hungry. So I went to Bk for some tasty gluten free fries. "I'm sorry, we aren't serving fries yet." The drive-thru girl told me. BLAUGH! Well, at least there is a chick-fil-a across the street. I'll go over there get some tasty waffle fries and a plain fillet and eat it when I get home. Well I finally get home, I'm completely starving at this point so I get my tapioca bread spread some of my gluten-free ranch dressing on it. I can already taste that chicken. AGGHHHH what's this- BREADED CHICKEN.... and then I cried. I couldn't believe I was crying because my chicken was breaded. But I was so hungry and I hardly ever look forward to eating anymore, but I really wanted that chicken.

The moral of this story:

If you have celiac disease. Try not to let yourself get that hungry in the first place. Normally I have snacks on hand, but after being out of town I found myself very unprepared in my own home. I've discovered that Lara bars, cheese and fruit, nut thins, and horizon milk cartons are very helpful while out and about.

Well here's to not crying over breaded chicken! :D

and.. thanks for letting me vent!

Ha! Been there!! SOOOO understand, only I cried at a stoplight.

big virtual hug - been there, done that, and cried about it.

I think you're absolutely right: getting hungry when we're out, and don't have safe snacks on hand, so often leads to disaster. And then when you're still hungry and can't eat, or you eat and get sick, it's just that much worse. We all need a good cry sometimes, anyway, huh? ;)

Oh my, this very thing happened to me today!!

Went to Jason's Deli and ordered everything to go, we were taking it to my grandmother's to eat with her. I was so excited that they had Udi's bread!!! Ordered our meals, raved about

how excited I was, thank everyone for being so nice and drive the 1/2 hour to grandma's. Imagine my total disappointment when I pull everything out of the bag and see that my order didn't make it!!!! :blink: I was crying over an empty bag! :(

Not to mention cranky... I get sooo cranky when I can't get something to eat.

that sucks about not getting your food, but that is exciting that Jason's Deli is offering Gluten-Free options!

I so understand!! We were recently motel-ing it for a week. The motel refrig malfunctioned & froze all my veggies & fruit, the stuff in the freezer all thawed out - the final straw was when I took my loaf of bread out of the the ice chest and it crumbled into a zillion bread crumbs! I sat on the motel floor in front of the refrig and cried. !! I think we all understand being hungry and having no food!!!

Yeah, I can relate. Got the holiday See's catalogue in the mail today. I thought "YIPPIE, See's chocolates." Sat down to read it and remembered I can't eat See's anymore because I'm now horribly allergic to soy.

Yes, I cried. It sucks to know I can never have another See's Thin Mint. And no, I don't want to hear that so and so's is just as good. It's not, it never is; never at any point in the last four years has anything been as good as what I now can't eat.

Had it been me, I would have cried over the breaded chicken too. Heaven knows I've cried over far sillier things since the adventure began four years ago this month . . . .

I've had 2 meals at Jason's Deli and both times I felt great, other than being very full. I come from Toronto where Deli is an art form. Here in Texas, Jason's makes a very decent sandwich and now that it is on Udi bread, I am in heaven. I had a sandwich this past weekend and although I had to eat it with a fork and a knife because the bread didn't hold up, it was delicious. I took half home and toasted it and it held up better. The meat does not contain nitrites, and the chips are delish!

It is a restaurant that I can go with DH or friends and not feel what I order is strange.

I always check my take-out orders before I leave the restaurant to make sure they're correct. There's no way I want to risk getting all the way home with the wrong food.

That is something I need to remember! Lesson learned.

      I would agree. The tests do not indicate you have celiac disease. So, if you are convinced that when you eliminate gluten from your diet your symptoms improve, I would conclude you have NCGS.

      My old results are: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 6.6 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 3.0 is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.91 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) IgA Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) IgG Endomysial antibody (EMA) - < 1:10 titer (for the lab I did the tests < 1:10 titer is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 0.3 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 46.1 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests 0.0 - 6.0 is normal)   Then I didn't eat gluten for six months and after I started a gluten challenge. Before the challenge I did some tests as RMJ had suggested to do. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 0.5 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 28 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As trents suggested I ate 6 slices of wheat bread before the tests during the challenge. My results: The Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) The Tissue Transglutaminase IgG antibody - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Immunoglobulin A - 1.31 g/l (for the lab I did the tests 0.7 to 4 g/l is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgA - 2.0 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal) Deamidated gliadin peptide IgG - 2.13 U/ml (for the lab I did the tests < 20 U/ml is normal)   As I can understand I don't have celiac disease.

      So it sounds like Global Foods has adopted the FDA standard for "gluten free" advertising.
    • cvernon
      Agreed, I am disappointed in the recent GFCO findings as well and definitely don't hold them in as high of a regard as I used to. I did find on the Global Foods website after posting that their required ppm limit is 20ppm, which isn't as low as I had hoped. I'll email and report back. Thx.
    • trents
      Never heard of them. They give an email address so if I were you I would contact them and ask those questions. It would be wonderful if they had tighter requirements than GFCO in the sense of more frequent batch testing and even random testing. Recent news articles on this forum from back in this summer have revealed that GFCO is letting us down.
