It's Been A Week I've Got Glutened Almost Everyday

Hello everybody !

 

First of all, please forgive my poor english ! Ok, so I'm gonna sum up my story. The symptoms of celiac started a year and a half ago. I didn't know why I was sick everyday so I went to see many physicians and they all told me that my symptoms were only due to anxiety which I began to think as well. No doctors found what I had, and in France, I think people and physicians in particular don't know much about celiac disease (and it's the same for groceries stores, it's pretty difficult to find gluten-free food). Anyway, I didn't know what I had until the day I read something about gluten in a newspaper. All the symptoms described where mine, so I decided to go gluten-free cold turkey. And no symptoms, not anymore (for about 7 months). But the thing is that this week, I know I've been contaminated, I've been eating cakes (so-called gluten-free but they weren't, the body doesn't lie haha) and I was sick for two days, and I got glutened three other times in the week even though I haven't eat anything with gluten. I mean, the symptoms are the same, my belly hurts the same way that it does with gluten. So I wanted to know, if some of you have been glutened many times in a short period of time and if it feels this way, is it because of the gluten binge I had a few days ago, or because I've been eating gluten without noticing it ? Does it takes a long time for you to recover ? I'm going to see a physician this week anyway, but I'm really worried, I'm afraid it might be something else than just celiac disease.

 

Thank you for reading this.

Hi Morgane,

 

I don't know what is happening to you now. It sounds like a good plan to check with the doctor.   But the last time I experienced contamination for several days afterward I felt cramping each time I ate.  It can take a while to get rid of it all.  I hope you learned not to try gluten again.

 

Be sure to study what foods to eat and not eat to avoid future problems.

I agree. Symptoms can last days and days from one exposure to gluten. It could be another food causing the problem, but my guess would be a one-time glutening.

 

I hope you feel better soon.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      I had similar pains after going gluten-free.  Turns out it was more related to undiagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.  Because celiac is an immune dysfunction disease, it's possible you have another underlying one.  I wish mine had been identified much sooner, so you may want to look at symptoms of diseases like RA and lupus to see if you have other symptoms that might point you in the right direction to ask the right questions.

      When they give you a blood test, there's a range they consider low to high from the results.  It's not based on how much vitamin you're taking.  My blood tests were low and then I took 5000 IU and they went too high on the blood test.  I also get exposed to D from the sun and I live in a very sunny area and I get D in some foods I eat.  I was very annoyed with the doctors because they weren't paying attention to the blood test results in order to help me figure out the optimum dose for me.  They just told me to take it when it was low on the blood test and didn't pay any attention after that.  Too much of a good thing is not a good a thing.  I hope the medical field knows enough to really...

      How high is too high?  I take 10,000 IU vitamin D3 every day.  My blood is stable at 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L).  Even at 10,000 a day it took 8 years to raise it to 80.  Higher levels of 25(OH)D in blood can moderate the autoimmune attack.  Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Lower vitamin D levels have also been associated with increased OCD symptom severity.  This is a most dangerous popular belief. As mentioned you are suffering from vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Part of the recovery, that is never explained by doctors, is replenishing your deficits.  Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption.  The Western diet is a diet of deficiency.  That is why many...
