Celiac Issues All Over Again?


Keithelrod

Recommended Posts

I was diagnosed 3 yrs ago with celiac and have been gluten free and well ever since. In March i got a stomach virus that was horrible. The vomiting/diarrhea kind. It lasted for days, not hours. Ever since i got over that I have been dealing with the same issues/symptoms i had before knowing i was celiac. Howver, i am super careful abt what i eat yet it feels like im on the same merry go-round. Could the virus have triggered something else? I am at a loss. I have diarrhea almost everyday, bloating/ cramping insides. Any ideas or suggestions as to what may be going on. Thanks.

Hmm...You might be developing new intolerances. But then again, you might still be dealing with that "stomach virus". There are a lot of nasty things out there that can grab you and hang on. I would see the doctor about this before doing anything else.

Maybe check if any of your regular foods, medications etc to see if anything has changed?

Do you eat a fairly simple diet? Plain meat, fish, fruit, veg might be worth a go to give your system a break.

Might well be worth a check with the doctor to make sure there is nothing lurking around from the previous infection.

I hope you work it out

And don't forget the possibility of SIBO, which seems to love to jump in after any ol' infection. The symptoms can be (at least mine were) quite similar to glutening.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
