I Was Diagnosed 2 1/2 Years Ago & Now Something New....

I've been gluten free ever since diagnosis. Last summer I was cross contaminated & got violently ill. Severe stomach cramps, vomiting, and I didn't feel good for months.

 

On Saturday, I went over to a friends house for dinner. She bought corn tortillas for me to have with the tacos. After I ate 2 tortillas, I read the label & realized that there was wheat gluten in the tortillas!  And I had no reaction. I was slightly queasy that night & a little on Sunday.

 

I don't understand how I can go from having such a violent reaction to no reaction at all.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on this??

 

Thanks!!

Jenni

You're right.  Thats quite peculiar.  Maybe the first time around, your violent reaction was something more than gluten.  Gluten and something undercooked?  Don't know...  Are you usually asymptomatic?

 No, I usually have at least a stomach ache. I don't tend to have the typical GI symptoms, like vomiting or diarrhea. I tend to get fatigued and joint pain.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
