Purpose Of Forum?

Is it to present a unified view?  Is it to present optional viewpoints?  Is it to present what we know from our own experiences.  Is it to present what medical science vantage point is?  Is it to support each other?  Is it to help one type of person or super-sensitive and a little sensitive alike?

This is my opinion...

 

This forum is many things to many people.

 

I think it's most important task is to welcome those new to living gluten-free and try to present clear information about Celiac Disease and other gluten sensitivies. 

 

I stumbled in here within days of the first time I heard the word Celiac on March 9, 2009 and was still pretty unclear as to exactly what gluten was.

 

As time progressed -- I watched, listened and learned so much from the members here that I strongly believe those of us helped by this forum should pay it forward, which I did for a while and then would leave for some time to live my life.

 

Unfortunately, I had some rather severe setbacks over the past five years and when down with doctors stumped would return here for advice, but mostly to hang with folks that get it.

 

Eventually I was asked to Moderate...which I did for a couple years until my health really improved. 

 

Now I pop in - usually daily to welcome new folks, answer the questions with regard to what I consider a very flawed testing/medical care system for Celiac Disease in this country and to share what I'm cooking with others to find out what they are cooking to keep my kitchen interesting.

      I switched to egg beaters and have no issues.   Try that and see if it is a difference maker.  I would eat regular eggs and feel like a rock in my chest and stomach and just feels bloated and terrible.

      I'm like Cristiana. After getting glutened, in about two hours I start develop emesis that lasts for two or three hours with intense abdominal cramping. This is followed by several hours of diarrhea. It's like my body is doing everything it can to expel the gluten as it begins to leave my stomach and enter the small bowel. So, I'm not sure how much of it actually gets into my bloodstream to create a systemic effect. But once I get past those initial intense reactions and get rehydrated I feel a lot better. Just a day or two for me. And I should add that I am not a particularly sensitive celiac who reacts strongly to a tiny amount of cross contamination. It takes a decent amount of gluten to produce a discernable reaction in me. The last reaction I can remember having was precipitated by consuming a small appetizer-size cup of soup at a Chinese restaurant that had soy sauce in it. I was careful to choose things for the main meal that didn't have soy sauce in them but overlooked the appetizer.

      Has anyone reacted to Clancy’s hint of lime tortilla chips? The bag says gluten free, but this is the only new food I’ve had recently and I was definitely glutened by something. I know Tostito’s brand doesn’t claim gluten free and these suspiciously taste very similar to how I remember those tasting.

      Hi @Michael McDonald and welcome to the forum. Everyone's experience varies, and I think what you are experiencing is normal, having read a lot of different accounts over the years.  Of course, there is always just a slight chance that gluten might still be getting in somewhere, or that your symptoms might also be down to a gastric virus or food poisoning too, it sometimes is difficult to be sure which is which! But from my own experience, my own reactions have changed over time. Now I react differently to a significant glutening (vomiting, chills, palpitations) and the effects are about 2-3 hours after the glutening.  Sorry for TMI but I think the gluten doesn't hang around in my system as long because I throw up. Before found it took me maybe over a week to feel a lot better.  Although I felt nauseous I wasn't actually sick, so I guess more time for the gluten to hang around in my system.  I would experience chills, dizziness and diarrhea immediately.  Then, bouts of feeling unwell again for perhaps the initial week.  As well as oten feeling just plain weird and out of things.  The thing other thing would be developing a gastritis like sore stomach which could go on for two weeks or more, in the ensuing days.  I would never recommend popping a PPI long-term (unless medically advised, of course,), but time has taught me that a short dose of omeprazole 20mg for maybe 2 -3 days post glutening  helps nip this gastritis pain in the bud.  I take it first thing in the morning, with a glass of water.
