Indeed, coconut oil is an anti-inflammatory dietary fat and is renowned for enhancing the immune system. 80% of our immune system is located in the intestinal tract.<br/><br/>

Sorry if it is TMI,  but I have projectile vomiting for 3-4 hours accompanied by severe cramping in my stomach (not intestines)  .... and then feel like I have the worst hangover  the next day.

Frankly   diarrhea, or loose stools would be a welcome change...easily fixed with Imodium.<br/><br/>

I find that when I have a reaction to food, Imodium doesn't work.  I have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in the past, and Imodium worked for my symptoms when they were related to that.  I get roughly the same symptoms for both UC and food reactions.  Just for one I can take a pill and the other I can't.<br/><br/>

And just a note to Jen: It's a bit presumptuous of you to assume that those of us who suffer from severe intestinal pain and D as a result of being glutened somehow have it easier. It is literally the WORST pain I have ever felt, and it is most definitely not 'easily fixed with Imodium.' Just wanted to clear that up.<br/><br/>

The problem is when I discover that I ate hidden gluten after the server, manager, or cook has assured me multiple times that my food is gluten-free. I do not get tummy aches that can be cured with a tummy remedy. I get some of the severe symptoms mentioned in the article. My gut is severely damaged, possibly permanently, and the symptoms last for days if not longer. Restaurant owners and managers have to take responsibility for their actions, and this article does not help in that regard.<br/><br/>

If this happens to me at a restaurant possibly caused by cross-contamination, the reaction is usually immediate and hopefully there is a restroom handy and empty.  When I go for walks even that sometimes brings it on so I therefore have become dependent on Imodium.  To me this is not a good thing.<br/><br/>

I too went on the Gluten Free diet after biopsy etc. I too found that I have become much more sensitive to gluten after being on the diet. I did get rid of my all-body rash, which had been diagnosed for 13 years as Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma and improperly treated for such at Yale New Haven Hospital and Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, Cornell in NYC.  What a mess. Yes, whenever I eat out I usually get glutened. Do not ever trust restaurants or waiters even when the restaurant has a reputation for having a Gluten Free menu. I now usually bring a small container of fat free yogurt and a banana which I hide while others order food. I eat what I bring and although I miss the goodies at the table I feel well after the meal. That is becoming the most important thing for me. I am old and I realize that Celiac damages our general immune system so we must be vigilant to protect ourselves. Yes, we 'think' we recover from the cramps, diarrhea, malaise in a few days, but the immune system damage, and small intestine damage lasts and lasts. Be vigilant and survive.<br/><br/>

Following along in the footsteps of the 11, or is it now 12, allele types associated with Celiac (or gluten intolerance), there's another one that treats a chemical found in pear, apple and peach skins, as well as in birch bark and seeds, just as though it were a terrible poison.

That annoying apple peel that lodged in your gum didn't just 'irritate it'.  That welt that rose up in the roof of your mouth and your gums is an auto immune reaction to the chemical in the peel.

When that stuff gets to your intestines it continues cause welts.

It is believed this genetic trait served to protect folks against eating small birch trees (6 inches high or less) in the Arctic.  They contain high levels of cyanide and a diet high in birch trees can kill humans.

If the peels are cooked, apples and pears and peaches are OK since heat destroys the damaging chemical.<br/><br/>

Those are supposed to be avoided on the Fiengold Diet, too.  It's been 5 days and my mental state has greatly improved, I'm nearly 'normal'.  It's amazing, the more I read, the more things I find in common with advice for celiacs, the Fiengold Diet, and the blood type diet (i'm an O), and I'm avoiding those right now, too.  All of this research is going to converge soon, I think.  Brighter days ahead for all of us dealing with our conditions.<br/><br/>

She is successful in her career and home life. She is in no way a pot head. One night she smoked a little after being 'glutened'. She was amazed how quickly her gastro-intestinal symptoms went away.<br/><br/>

I recently discovered that I have Celiac after being sick since I was very young and I am now 38.  I have not had the biopsy or blood test.  The doctor suggested I do an elimination diet mentioning wheat and gluten specifically.  We started with wheat but realized it was gluten.  I have been gluten free (at least I have been trying) for almost two months now.  I have already noticed a greater sensitivity when I have been 'glutened.'

This website has been wonderfully amazing!  I have learned so much and finally feel as though I am among those who truly 'get it.'

I thought it would be good for my mother who is celiac. If she accidentally has wheat or wheat syrup, wheat glucose (as is in things like mousses, sweets and on dried fruits), concentrated grain sugars (which I think are the reason so many people are celiac - we just aren't meant to eat that much concentrated grain sugar. A few drops of the glycerin based tincture and she will come out of a faint, loose the shakes and think clearly again. Its truly magic and you can carry it in a handbag! I thought it would be good because it is a bitter and treats stomach problems, and cleans the blood.<br/><br/>

It has been a battle.  Recently while in the daycare at church, she was given pretzels for a snack by mistake.  She was projectile vomiting for hours.  Is there something I can give her after she ingests gluten by mistake?  It's only going to get harder to make everyone aware when she's in school.  Is there a website I can go to and get her a medical bracelet?<br/><br/>

I have searches the web for information like this. I appreciate the research and the time you took to put out the detail.  I accidentally got gluten 2 days ago.  I react with flew like symptoms, achy joints and tiredness for 2-3 days.  This time I took Claritin and antihistamine and my reaction was not as bad as some past reactions. Your article helped.  I agree with the response above.  I think it is best to bring your own food with you and explain your allergy to the server.  It is to risky to take the chance.  I tried by ordering beans and tortilla's at a Mexican restaurant.  I wanted to enjoy a special event and have just one night not worrying about food. So I ordered simple.  I was two bites into the tortilla when I discovered it was flour.  I cried!<br/><br/>
