Accidental Glutening

Hi all. I've been gluten-free since the first of October - no diagnosis - but feeling absolutely GREAT! I had made the decision not to do back for an official diagnosis, just to remain gluten free. Then, over the weekend, I started feeling bad. Saturday night, my husband asked me what was wrong, and I told him that my body felt funny. Achy, I was tired, grumpy, etc. No GI symptoms, though. Then Sunday morning, I woke up, had coffee, 1 gluten-freen donut- and the GI symptoms began. HOrrible indigestion (which was always my worst symptom), feeling so full and miserable, then the diarrhea. I still do not know for sure what it was that I ate - but I know I was completely gluten free for supper Saturday night, and breakfast Sunday morning.

Anway, I was miserable all day Sunday, Sunday night, felt a bit better Monday morning, pretty much back to normal MOnday night. However, although I felt terrible, I'm thankful, in a way, it happened. It was realy "proof" for me. So, 2 months into the diet, now I feel like I'm definitely on the right track.

Thanks for listening.

It sure makes it easier to cut things out when the difference is so dramatic. Glad you are finding the gluten-free diet helpful.

Best of luck!

I have been gluten free for about 1 1/2 months. I can really tell a difference when I accidentally get some gluten.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
