Celia37799 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi all, I'm on day 27, have been going fiercely strong (many thanks to this motivating forum) since the beginning. Although my first week was rough, I've had no major issues to be concerned about until now & im terrified this has ruined all my hard work. My meals have been balance of grass fed high quality meat, steamed or roasted veggies & salad with homemade dressing consistently. Drinking lemon water & tea, not even coffee. So, I've been researching restaurants (calling, trolling menus online etc) and finally found one that cooks everything in olive oil so I decided to try it for dinner tonite. Luckily we've eaten here many times before & were familiar with the menu too. I was super specific about the restrictions & already a lil worried something could go wrong. A few hours after dinner, my stomach got very very very upset in the form of an urgent bathroom run. I'm totally confused about what happen & very concerned there was a mix up between the order. Ok so here's what we ordered bcuz I cannot for the life of me figure out why I had such a bad reaction. melintzanosalata- blended eggplant with garlic & lemon juice Lamb chops- grass fed marinated in lemon juice, evoo, oregano & spices (I confirmed the spices were ok) steamed veggies- broccoli, carrots, green beans grilled shrimp skewer- marinated in evoo & lemon juice. thats it! I was being so so careful now I'm beating myself up. I first thought the waitress prob gave me hummus instead of the eggplant meli. But even after calling the restaurant to confirm my order was indeed meli not hummus, the manager mentioned there was gluten in the meli! Idk what to do now. My digestion is still very upset, but I'm more worried i have to start over. Help. Thoughts. Advice? Thanks in advance for everything u guys do!

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2017 It sucks when you ask all the questions and still something slips by. Generally, we recommend reading this article and deciding whether you want to start over or not. Unfortunately, it does sound like you may have an issue with gluten.

Celia37799 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thank you Shannon for your response. In my heart I know I need to start over, it would b unfair to myself to keep going. But I also want to make 100% sure that it was gluten & that's what the reaction was to. Part of me hopes maybe there is no issue & maybe it was a combination of lemon water & green beans or something. But if it was something off plan, I will regrettably start over.
