What Happens..?

Hi all,

I have been gluten-free for about 2 years now and am extremely careful with my food. I often have to travel for my job and so I bring a lot of my food with me (one suitcase is for my clothes, etc, the other for food). Anyway, I am currently staying at a 5* hotel in Manila (Philippines) and I'm pretty sure I was poisoned by gluten. I have never had a very serious reaction before but I have been feeling nauseous for about 3 days now.

I was wondering if you could tell me what happens when you are poisoned by gluten... I'm not sure if this is normal or if it is perhaps a reaction to being here in Manila (pollution or water?).... I've been here for about 3 months though and have not changed my habits at all which is why I think it may have been cross contamination...

Thanks for your help.

I can feel nauseous from gluten and I also can get fatigue, brain fog, GI symtoms, chicken pox like bumps on my skin, and stomach pain.

Have you eaten anything unusual? What do you think was contaminated? And you are right, you could be sick from the water, if you were drinking it.

Actually I have only been drinking bottled water... I am pretty sure it's gluten poisoning. I slept for 10 hrs today and I'm still exhausted.

Thank you

I'm guessing that you may be having a gluten reaction. When I accidently eat gluten, I will also sleep for hours and still be tired.

PS--I've been to Manila....loved the Philippines ! If you have been staying and eating in the hotel only, there is less chance for contamination from bacteria etc. However, I did get sick when I went to there from having to eat local food in one of the villages. I never drank or brushed with the regular water. But I stayed in a village...so it was risky. Has the hotel worked with you on the menu? Stick with plain meats cooked on clean surface, veggies and fruit. Hope you are feeling better!

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
