Hey, I just woke up after 2 hours of puking/pissing out of my butt. I feel much better now, just dehydrated. I had lunch with some old college buds today at a restaurant/bar I'd never been to. I ordered a cheeseburger with no bun and fries. Now, I usually have no problem with McDonalds fries because the oil they fry them in is only for fries. I have a feeling it was the french fries at this place that caused me to get sick. I don't usually have a reaction from eating gluten, can't ever tell except maybe diarrhea, but today was different. I asked my sister (who's been Celiac since she was two years old) if she ever pukes from getting "glutened." She told me only when she eats fries that were fried in the same oil as other things like fried chicken or fish. "Bingo," I thought. Anyone else have bad reactions to gluten like this? I was diagnosed with Celiac's about the same time as UC, I was 29. I've been eating gluten free ever since (to the best of my knowledge), but you can never be sure unless you make it yourself. I hardly ever puke, but I've had 3 cases within the last 6 months. The other two times I had drank a lot of beer (which is a no no for Celiacs) but didn't know if I had puked because I was so drunk, or if it was because of the gluten. I'm guessing maybe a mix of both. Anway, I don't plan on drinking beer or eating fries at a strange restaurant anymore, but was wondering if any other Celiac's out there ever have this happen. Cheers!
