Glutening, Food Poisoning Or Both?

I did many things wrong in the past 48 hours. 2 days ago, i made lemon pie, i ate 1/4 of it that same night, other quarter in the morning.. i felt like it was too much but didnt feel bad,  i shared it with my family and wasn't clear enough on how to avoid cross contamination.. then i was angry, because they probably glutened my lemon pie, i really wanted to eat some more so i ate around the parts they probably touched (i ate another quarter).

 

Some hours later i started feeling terrible, that was yesterday and i still feel bad. I know both things i did were bad, i shouldnt have eaten 3/4 of that lemon pie, but it was delicious xD 

 

I dont know how to recognize my glutened symptoms, so i dont know if i was glutened, or i ate too much lemon pie (probably this is the reason) or what, but i dont feel bad enough to go to the ER. 

 

Is it normal to feel bad after eating too much lemon pie?  I feel so dumb..

If I ate that much lemon pie, I might have some issues, too.  But it tasted sooooooo good!   :D

Ha, I thought the same thing Karen did.  But mine would be pecan pie... mmmmmmm.  It really is hard to tell what the culprit is in these situations.  If you really want to be sure, you could make a 100% gluten-free lemon pie after a few weeks has passed, and see what happens when you eat half of it  ^_^  And of course, this time of year is when things like stomach bugs and such are going around, so this may be one of those times where you just never know.  In the future for pies, as long as it isn't runny, you can cut out a portion for the gluten eaters and put it in another container (or vice versa), and hide your gluten-free portion from their thieving grasp.

Laura, that's a very good idea xD i'll make another lemon pie in some weeks and see what happens, but i think it was a combination of both.. i still feel bad! it's been 2 days now.

 

I'll cut out a portion for my family and hide the rest for me xD but i think i wont eat it in a single day this time haha

I am not sure what to say except for I ate half of a bag of Nothing But Reds Starbursts the other night, but I felt fine. Some people can't handle a lot of sugar at once, might be as simple as that. It's hard not to always look at gluten as the culprit, but I'm going with the others that it was probably the quantity. Hope you feel better soon.

1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 of the pie.   Yup, I'd feel sick too!  But I've been guilty of eating the whole darn pizza and being sick so there you have it.  My bet that it was toooo much pie.  lol :P

Could be gluten.

 

Could be too much fat.

 

Could be too much sugar.

 

Could be too much pie. 

 

Could just be a combination of any of the above ...

 

If you're still sick in a few days I would lean on the gluten side of things.  I always find that the inflammation lasts a while, whereas eating too much of a good thing will only affect me for a few hours.  YMMV, of course.

i've been feeling bad but I feel worse now, i touched some bread crumbs that were on a bag when i went shopping some hours ago,  forgot to wash my hands, then i had some ice cream and unconsciously licked my finger.. do you think i got glutened? i just licked a tiny bit!! :(  Ive been bloated and in pain these days, now had D (sorry tmi haha) i want to feel better..

No worries on the TMI, we have all heard it all :)  It is possible that you had some cross-contamination, but unlikely.  It is always a good practice to wash your hands before eating especially if you have been out of the house.  Other gross things could have been on that finger besides gluten  :ph34r:  (This is my inner germaphobe speaking, lol).  I try to wash my hands as soon as I get to the house so anything out of the house will be left outside.

      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/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
