From Dubai to diarrhea — this plane ride devolved right into a real s – – t show.
A TikTok star says she suffered explosive bowel movements on board a 15-hour flight from Dubai to Los Angeles after an alleged “pastry mix-up.”
Chloë Chapdelaine, 25, has celiac disease and made sure to pick out gluten-free meal options before boarding the Emirates aircraft on Monday.
But after demolishing half of a plain croissant, the Canadian content creator was purportedly informed that the treat contained gluten — a substance she hasn’t eaten in nine years.
Chapdelaine subsequently caused a stink — literally and figuratively — tearfully taking to TikTok from the toilet of the plane.
She later told Kennedy News that she’ll be suffering the “mental repercussions” of what occurred for about two weeks.
Within the viral TikTok, Chapdelaine is seen fighting back tears within the plane’s bathroom as she declares: “I do feel like celiac disease shouldn’t be taken as seriously [as nut allergies] at times.”
“I do feel that individuals with food allergies or sensitivities should exist safely and be taken seriously of their medical condition and that’s not at all times the case,” she adds.
The clip — which was viewed greater than 1.4 million times — also included footage of the incriminating croissant.
“I’m very highly sensitive and my celiac disease will react to a trace amount or cross-contamination,” Calgary-based Chapdelaine further explained in an interview with Kennedy News on Friday.
“To be told I had eaten half a non-gluten-free croissant, which is kind of a great amount and larger than what I even have reacted to previously, was really scary for me.”
The TikToker said she almost immediately felt the results of the gluten consumption, saying she forced herself to throw as much as attempt to expel the substance from her system.
“I went to the toilet and made myself physically sick and was in there for about an hour throwing up, which was horrible,” she declared. “I knew if I didn’t do this it will cause my body so much more damage.”
“I could feel the opposite symptoms starting right away as well and it just got worse from there,” she added. “I began getting really bad stomach cramping, I got diarrhea, I felt nauseous and my skin began itching.”
While she safely made it back home, Chapdelaine says it’ll take her about 14 days to get better from the brain fog and the depression that eating the gluten has caused.
The content creator said Emirates flight attendants were sympathetic towards her, but that she has filed a proper grievance.
The corporate had not returned multiple requests for comment by Kennedy News before the time of publication.
