My guts are killing me.  My lower right side hurts and feels swollen and bruised.  I was diagnosed with celiac at the end of Jan.  I had several slip ups between now and then.  Last week I was glutened by cc.  Had major D for 2 days and D last night.  Today I feel like a horse stepped on me.  I cant take the pain anymore.  The GI said that there is nothing else wrong but could be some IBS with the celiac.  

I dont know what to do at this point.  I am down to unprocessed meats, fruit and veg, salt, pepper and olive oil and eggs...Water and lemonade and mint tea to drink...nothing else.  My guts are searing. :(

I have also been running a low grade fever with isn't helping matters.  I have since I was diagnosed.

Sounds like you have a lot of healing to do, the longer you go without gluten the better you'll feel, getting CC is a set back. You might try cutting out eggs as well a lot of us have other food allergies egg being a common food allergy it's worth a try. I have read others having trouble with meat, lentils, nuts, dairy, nightshades, soy, etc. you have to pay close attention to how you feel and how you react to certain foods. This is a great place to find support and answers, I'm sure the wiser Celiacs will chime in when they log on, they all have great advice, just hang in there! Hope you find some relief soon!

Oh and I run a fever when I'm glutened and will be sick for a week sometimes longer...

I'm so sorry. When it happens to me I'm in pain for weeks sometimes. I am so terrified of eating out now because of what you are going through. I'm even afraid of eating at my daughters because she really doesn't understand and I pay for it.  I only eat at home now.

I double up on my probiotics and eat more sauerkraut when I'm really hurting. I hope you are feeling better soon. Hugs.

Thank you both!  I am super sensitive and am reacting to lots of things right now.....and the GI said go home and eat gluten free.  HA!  If it were only that simple!!

 

Thanks for the comments.

Keep in mind if you are new to this that gluten hides in a LOT of things. Read ALL labels and if in doubt, call the company and talk to someone. Most products havd a number on the food package.  I am going to start taking Gluten Ease and see if that helps me more.

Rotation, rotation, rotation!  All good advice from everyone who responded to your question.  I'd add that in order 1) calm down your body (inflammation) and 2) prevent you from developing allergies to other foods,  you'll need to rotate your foods.  There are plenty of four day rotational diet sites out there that can go into detail.

 

Good luck!

Thanks everyone.  Most of my celiac symptoms have resolved.  DH is just about gone, joint and muscle pain is about gone and no more bladder issues or migraines.  I just have this constant nagging gut pain and that is hard to deal with.

Just my own thoughts:

 

Try water or coconut water for beverage.  I wonder if lemonade could be irritating, ever spilled lemon juice on a cut?   I had some pain, but nothing like you describe.  Ouch!

I'm allergic to coconuts but I'll try just water for a while.  Thanks for the suggestion.

Gut pain is no fun...after almost two years post-diagnosis I am finally getting a handle on the pain I continued to experience even though I was strictly gluten free. What worked for me was giving up: corn, dairy, most grains (I can tolerate rice and small amounts of sorghum), any processed meats, egg yolks...plus anything with fat I can tolerate in very small amounts (as in one tiny tiny slice of avocao or 4 pecan halves) but if I eat too much I'm miserable. Drink lots and lots of water...that is really good for your body in general (my nutritionist and I had a whole conversation on drinking water when I saw her last week!)

BabsV, Thank you for sharing that.  I read on here so many times that people quit eating gluten and in 2 weeks they feel great.  That is not the case with me.  Some of my celiac issues have resolved but the gut pain hasn't.  

I am off gluten, all grains, dairy and soy.  Hopefully in time I will feel better.  I hope that I am ok with egg yolks b/c I eat hard boiled eggs every day for breakfast with fruit!

Thanks for the tip on the water too!

      Studies have shown that individuals with canker sores tend to have lower levels of vitamin D in their blood compared to those without the condition. This suggests that vitamin D deficiency could be a risk factor for developing canker sores.  Vitamin D deficiency is very common in Celiac Disease.

      So Sunday night after writing that post about Losartan was causing weakness in my hips I decided to stop taking it, even if against medical advice.  When I was 12 years old I read a book called The First Hundred Years of Surgery.  It gave me insight to the politics, financials and egos of the world.  My take-away at the time was: one day I'm going to have to find my own cure. Sunday 6 am was 134/60 after Losartan dose Sat nignt. Monday 8 am BP was 118/56 no Losartan sunday night. Tuesday (today) 6 am BP was 126/64. Getting up from the floor is improved. Brain fog improved, vision less foggy, cold feet not as cold, and not feeling like I need to go back to sleep almost as soon as I wake up. Doctors are required to follow protocols, not listen to patients.  I say I hurt and they say "that's not common, the medicine protects you, is good for you, keep taking it"  Not unlike Celiac Disease.  You eat gluten, get sick and your blood and biopsy says you do not have Celiac Disease, you are not sick.  Keep eating wheat because it is good for you. Despite what the doctors say, it appears ACE inhibiters and ARB BP meds are NOT good for me.  One had me considering a walker would be good (it had me bent over).  Standing straight once I stopped.  One had me thinking a walker was in my future (lost quadracept stability in knees, Lisinoprol caused an inquinal hernia, something caused a blind spot in my right eye and cataracts in both.  Amlodipine dehydrated me so I could not wear contacts, Losartan I was thinking a walker or wheelchair is immenent, hips and lower back getter weaker.  My only vision issue at 70 was increasing nearsighted and farsighted; until we attempted to control my BP. I am not advocating ignoring medical advice, but sometimes I know what is better for me than what the protocols say.  After all, I live in this body.  Doctors only see me for 20 minutes every 3 months. My current list: Medications: Prednisolone 2.5 mg 6 am Clonidine 0.1 mg 6 am, 2pm, 10 pm Rosuvastatin 20 mg evening meal Glimiperide 2 mg morning meal, evening meal Nicotinic Acid (Niacin) 6 am, 2 pm, 10 pm Liquid Iodine 600 mcg once a day in a drink.   Vitamins:  Several times a week. B1 250 mg, B2 100 mg, B3 500 mg, B5 500 mg, B6 100 mg, B12 1 mg, DHEA 100 mg, vitamin D 250 mcg, vitamin C 500 mg, CoQ10 200 mg, Selenium 200 mcg Taurine 500 mg,

      Wow, thank you for share Elisal!  We do need to stay focused on the fact we are so much healthier without wheat and gluten as hard as it is! I've learned to love rice and almond flour based sweets and enjoy the corn and plantain chips as my go to salty snacks!

      I feel your pain. Grain and gluten intolerant. Hang in there. This forum is very helpful
    • ElisaL
      IDK how common it is but it does happen. I'm celiac, allergic, and intolerant to the fiber in grains. (Fodmaps) So not only do I get sick from cross contamination, also gluten free wheat statch/fiber, and beauty products with wheat will get me. While I don't stop breathing the full body hives and short breath are not fun. Then once I make through that me and the bathroom become reacquaint. Sigh if I didn't feel so much better with the restrictions on my diet I'd feel sorry for myself. Least it makes for some good jokes about how the gremlin that lives in my gut really hates wheat.
