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. :)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
