My guts are killing me.  My lower right side hurts and feels swollen and bruised.  I was diagnosed with celiac at the end of Jan.  I had several slip ups between now and then.  Last week I was glutened by cc.  Had major D for 2 days and D last night.  Today I feel like a horse stepped on me.  I cant take the pain anymore.  The GI said that there is nothing else wrong but could be some IBS with the celiac.  

I dont know what to do at this point.  I am down to unprocessed meats, fruit and veg, salt, pepper and olive oil and eggs...Water and lemonade and mint tea to drink...nothing else.  My guts are searing. :(

I have also been running a low grade fever with isn't helping matters.  I have since I was diagnosed.

Sounds like you have a lot of healing to do, the longer you go without gluten the better you'll feel, getting CC is a set back. You might try cutting out eggs as well a lot of us have other food allergies egg being a common food allergy it's worth a try. I have read others having trouble with meat, lentils, nuts, dairy, nightshades, soy, etc. you have to pay close attention to how you feel and how you react to certain foods. This is a great place to find support and answers, I'm sure the wiser Celiacs will chime in when they log on, they all have great advice, just hang in there! Hope you find some relief soon!

I'm so sorry. When it happens to me I'm in pain for weeks sometimes. I am so terrified of eating out now because of what you are going through. I'm even afraid of eating at my daughters because she really doesn't understand and I pay for it.  I only eat at home now.

I double up on my probiotics and eat more sauerkraut when I'm really hurting. I hope you are feeling better soon. Hugs.

Thank you both!  I am super sensitive and am reacting to lots of things right now.....and the GI said go home and eat gluten free.  HA!  If it were only that simple!!

 

Thanks for the comments.

Keep in mind if you are new to this that gluten hides in a LOT of things. Read ALL labels and if in doubt, call the company and talk to someone. Most products havd a number on the food package.  I am going to start taking Gluten Ease and see if that helps me more.

Rotation, rotation, rotation!  All good advice from everyone who responded to your question.  I'd add that in order 1) calm down your body (inflammation) and 2) prevent you from developing allergies to other foods,  you'll need to rotate your foods.  There are plenty of four day rotational diet sites out there that can go into detail.

 

Good luck!

Thanks everyone.  Most of my celiac symptoms have resolved.  DH is just about gone, joint and muscle pain is about gone and no more bladder issues or migraines.  I just have this constant nagging gut pain and that is hard to deal with.

Just my own thoughts:

 

Try water or coconut water for beverage.  I wonder if lemonade could be irritating, ever spilled lemon juice on a cut?   I had some pain, but nothing like you describe.  Ouch!

I'm allergic to coconuts but I'll try just water for a while.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Gut pain is no fun...after almost two years post-diagnosis I am finally getting a handle on the pain I continued to experience even though I was strictly gluten free. What worked for me was giving up: corn, dairy, most grains (I can tolerate rice and small amounts of sorghum), any processed meats, egg yolks...plus anything with fat I can tolerate in very small amounts (as in one tiny tiny slice of avocao or 4 pecan halves) but if I eat too much I'm miserable. Drink lots and lots of water...that is really good for your body in general (my nutritionist and I had a whole conversation on drinking water when I saw her last week!)

BabsV, Thank you for sharing that.  I read on here so many times that people quit eating gluten and in 2 weeks they feel great.  That is not the case with me.  Some of my celiac issues have resolved but the gut pain hasn't.  

I am off gluten, all grains, dairy and soy.  Hopefully in time I will feel better.  I hope that I am ok with egg yolks b/c I eat hard boiled eggs every day for breakfast with fruit!

Thanks for the tip on the water too!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
