Really Bad Glutening

I accidentally ate something with malt vinegar on Friday. I threw up twice but had no other symptoms so I thought it was just food poisoning or stress or just having a weird stomach. I ate a half serving of the food Saturday around eleven am...and by one pm I was in awful shape. Nausea, some vomiting, awful stomach cramps of evil, headache, body aches, sweating.

 

I vomited every forty-five minutes until about ten am on Sunday. I tried to hydrate in between but it made things worse. By Sunday evening my husband brought me to the ER where they gave me a liter of IV saline, two doses of IV zofran, and a dose of dialudid (they said it was an antispasmodic and would help me to sleep...) I felt much better after leaving- my stomach was cramping and I felt a little weak and achy but I got home and managed to hydrate as directed and get some sleep.

 

I slept from about midnight to seven am on Monday. Woke up feeling awful- headache, dizziness, falling over when I tried to stand up. We went to immediate care and they directed me to the ER (at this point I was pretty listless, peeing dark yellow/brown, dozing off). At the ER they checked me for UTI, kidney infection, gallbladder, pancreatitis, and a few other things I didn't catch. Nothing abnormal except for the crippling stomach/vomiting which led to the dehydrating. Two bags of saline, a couple of IV doses of a stronger anti-nausea medicine, felt a lot better. I urinated and it was a normal color!

 

Well I ate peanutbutter toast today- vomiting commenced. Trying to stay hydrated again. I have an appointment with my primary care tomorrow- anything I should ask? I'm wondering if its time to go back to the gastro.

I had something similar a few months ago -- horrific vomiting and diarrhea for several days, I suspect it was norovirus.  Primary care seems like the right place for you to be going.  Good luck!!!

Sorry to hear you are so ill.  It could be that on top of the mild glutening you also caught a bug which helped you be extra sick.  Sounds like you are doing the right thing by hydrating, hope you feel better soon!

Looks like it was just a really bad reaction to gluten- i haven't even been cross contaminated in over a year, according to the gastro the reactions can get worse the longer you're gluten-free.

 

I've got a gastro appointment in a week to make sure there's no Chron's and to schedule an endoscopy to check on healing. My blood relative is considered refractory Celiac so they're thinking that could be part of it.

 

they really don't think it was norovirus or anything, sort of wish they did!

      glutenfreedrugs.com

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!
