Sick Or Glutening?

Recommended Posts

OK - sorry to go graphic - but I had some severe D tonight. (ick!)

I could have been glutened at the lunch table today at work. It was excpetionally crumby and filthy today. I cleaned and cleared a spot and washed hands and was very careful, but you never know......

Still, and I may sound crazy here, it didn't feel like a glutening....It felt like different D. Does that make sense? I don't know if I am imagining things, making things up, or just plain crazy, but it seemed different than any I've gotten from being glutened.

I have a slight fever, so I'm guessing my hunch is correct, but I'm just curious......

Basically, my question is - how do you tell if you've been glutened or if you have a bug... or are you winging it too?

Hi again! I moved this to 'Coping With'--hope this is where you wanted it. Anyway, it sounds like you may have caught a virus. I always get stomach rumbling, cramping and D about 2 hours after I've gotten some gluten. That's how I know that it's gluten and not something else. Everyone is different, but I think most people have some sort of sign that happens when they've been glutened. It takes a bit of time to get familiar with all of it. Hope you feel better soon :)

Do you only get D when you have gluten? Maybe there are other symptoms that would help ou detect gluten. For example, I can tell becasue I can get brain fog, dizziness, a rash/hives, and heart problems.

I was fine earlier at work, I have had no gluten today for sure. However, as three people were off today with a virus, I know that is what I have. It too was not the same as glutening. I would say you and I both have a virus now.

If I have been glutened I know within 5 minutes. I have spent most of the day in the bathroom and it is not the cramps of gluten. If it doesn't feel like a glutening, chances are it is not.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
