I'm suffering from celiac disease and had ordered the gluten free meal for my flight. The tray was labelled as gluten free, but I noticed that the menu had a different main meal listed than what I received. I asked one of the flight attendants what's going on, but I was assured by him and another flight attendant that the meal is indeed gluten free and I ate about half of it. It turned out to be the children's meal instead which included bread that was not gluten free. I had terrible stomach pain for the rest of the day and the crew seemed not to care much about their mistake. I was offered free water and another gluten free meal from business class but I'm sure the permanent damage to my health was already done. I had not eaten gluten for nearly 10 years before this. Is there anything I can do?
