Glutening Reactions

So... I messed up last night and really I know better. My salad came with croutons, and I just picked them off. I was starving and service was terrible. Over the weekend I accidentally ate 3 jordan almonds before I realized they were not gluten free, I didn't have much of a reaction, just some painful gassing. But these croutons... they are doing a number on me. Painful gassing, awful noises, cramps, bloat, and today I still am feeling all of it. I am just wondering why there is such a most intense reaction this time that then almonds. I am wondering if people react more to some foods than others. Like because the crouton crumbs had more gluten than the almonds...

Maybe they are all adding up? A little gluten here, a little there. You really haven't had time to heal from one glutening to another

another thought in addition to the reactions adding up, is that the croutons are all gluten, while the nuts were probably just coated.

I've wondered the same thing although I seem to have collected reactions over the year's. It was the bloat, gas, diarrhea. Then we made the mistake of actually visiting Bob's Red Mill and eating at their café. I could smell flour in the air as they grind close by. I later, usual 4 hours, went into sneezing, wheezing. Now when I get gluten I start with horrific sneezing then the gas, bloat, cramp etc. Another weird one was at our Crawfish Festival. Bought fire roasted fresh picked ear of corn. Roasted in the husk, fresh touch of pure butter and a little salt. No way cross contaminated. Every time I got it to my mouth I realized I would sneeze, became horribly congested. Thought at first it was something in the air because it was so windy so kept eating. Realized after I was finished the reaction was gone. 4 hours later mild cramps, bloating. Only my doctor believes me the "fresh picked" corn was next to a wheat field and we'd had wind for 2 or 3 days. Family thinks I'm over dramatic!

I'm not sure what what in the nuts, but something I have noticed going back over my reactions. My reactions to wheat, weirdly enough, last 3-5 weeks. My reactions to barley last about 2 months and are far worse at the beginning. With wheat I feel like complete hell and like I want to die. With barley I feel like I have been dragged through hell and back, and and so far beyond dead already that I am completely non functional for a full week, I can't even get out of bed. You may find that you have different types, lengths and severity of reaction to the three offenders. I haven't had an incident with rye yet and I intend to keep it that way.

Thank you all. I thought it was odd having different reactions, but now I see it's not. I am sure overtime I will learn more about my reactions and how sensitive I am to things. It's a long strange journey, I am sure :)

  We don't eat any food unless it is prepared by us.   Health risk isn't worth it.  Even though you "feel" fine, there is no way of knowing if there is destruction/inflammation occurring while going to the restaurant, the party, etc.  Know what I mean? 

 

We call the banquet halls about special diet restrictions *I know of a couple wedding venues that allowed the newly married to bring their OWN food - why not a guest, as well?

 

Family parties --  we bring our own in individual containers, almost like lunch bags.  For there is always someone wanting to fork the salad we bring, or try something with those glutenous fingers.  :) 

 

GIFTS!  Yes even some seemingly harmless looking baskets of lotions, shampoos, etc are donated due to items containing wheat products. 

 

It does get easier.  Good luck and good health to you :)

I'm having my first reaction since starting gluten-free diet after Dx and I do want to die.  Will this wanting to die possibly last 3-5 weeks?  Oh, say it isn't so!  How long did it take you to be able to determine what the offending substance was so that you could begin tracking reaction times?

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company?

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
