I Ate Gluten....and I Feel Great

I went to the health food store and grabed my brand of rice bread that I always get. Yesterday for lunch I had two peices of toast and than last night I started to eat another piece. I was talking and just reading the package for some reason and saw the word organic and almost died. It was not rice bread it was orgainc wheat bread! I started to cry instantly because I have been doing so well with eating gluten-free foods only...finally! Then this happens! Only its been over 24 hours now and I dont feel sick at all! Not even a little! I am tired but when am I not tired. I am thinking that maybe my body just hasnt reacted to it yet.....kinda weird its like I am waiting for the storm to hit ya know? Is there a chance that my boby wont react?? kinda confused here becasue last time I ate 3 bites of ice cream with wheat I was sick the next day and bloated and it lasted about a week. makes ya think right?

p.s. I have decided that we all deserve an award for being such good scientist and doctors because the way I see it the only ones studying this disease is Celiac's themselves. Good work guys your brilliance will see us through!

I have heard of people accidentally eating gluten and not reacting, but don't you worry... it's still causing damage ;)

hopefully you won't feel sick from it.

Some people just do not react and get symptoms...everyone varies when it comes to that. You still are doing damage though even if you do not feel it.

Before I was diagnosed I could eat a bowl of pasta and not notice any immediate gastro issues...so symptoms or reactions aren't always a good judge...

question for you... do you know for sure you have celiac disease? If so, then you just got "lucky" with the no reaction. Its normal for some ppl with celiac disease to not react.

Also, if it's only been a day, your reaction may be coming (sorry to be the voice of doom here). I sometimes won't react for about 1-3 days after getting gluten, I've heard somewhere that a reaction can hit even weeks later, but I'm not sure if that's true. Good luck, and congratulations for all the "clean" time you've had.

Just a thought but maybe you were reacting to the dairy and not necessarily the gluten. I dont think everyone "noticeably" reacts to gluten each and every time its consumed. Like everyone else said...its still causing damage even if you dont feel it.

It takes my body 3 full days to react as far as the gut reaction goes. As another poster said I also hate to be a voice of doom and gloom but wait. If you go a week breathe a sigh of relief.

Oh dont worry about being the bearer of bad news. I know its coming! I wish I could be one of those people who does not noticed when they get glutened, however my body does not handle it at all. I still dont feel sick or anything but I just feel like I cant focus on anything. Ick!

A couple weeks ago, the same type of thing happened to me. I never had a reaction to it. I did have a little stomachache- but it could have been caused by EXPECTING one :P .

Anyway, good luck- and remember that if you don't get a reaction, it DOES NOT mean that the diet isn't working. I had trouble with that. :)

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
