Really Bad Glutening

I accidentally ate something with malt vinegar on Friday. I threw up twice but had no other symptoms so I thought it was just food poisoning or stress or just having a weird stomach. I ate a half serving of the food Saturday around eleven am...and by one pm I was in awful shape. Nausea, some vomiting, awful stomach cramps of evil, headache, body aches, sweating.

 

I vomited every forty-five minutes until about ten am on Sunday. I tried to hydrate in between but it made things worse. By Sunday evening my husband brought me to the ER where they gave me a liter of IV saline, two doses of IV zofran, and a dose of dialudid (they said it was an antispasmodic and would help me to sleep...) I felt much better after leaving- my stomach was cramping and I felt a little weak and achy but I got home and managed to hydrate as directed and get some sleep.

 

I slept from about midnight to seven am on Monday. Woke up feeling awful- headache, dizziness, falling over when I tried to stand up. We went to immediate care and they directed me to the ER (at this point I was pretty listless, peeing dark yellow/brown, dozing off). At the ER they checked me for UTI, kidney infection, gallbladder, pancreatitis, and a few other things I didn't catch. Nothing abnormal except for the crippling stomach/vomiting which led to the dehydrating. Two bags of saline, a couple of IV doses of a stronger anti-nausea medicine, felt a lot better. I urinated and it was a normal color!

 

Well I ate peanutbutter toast today- vomiting commenced. Trying to stay hydrated again. I have an appointment with my primary care tomorrow- anything I should ask? I'm wondering if its time to go back to the gastro.

I had something similar a few months ago -- horrific vomiting and diarrhea for several days, I suspect it was norovirus.  Primary care seems like the right place for you to be going.  Good luck!!!

Sorry to hear you are so ill.  It could be that on top of the mild glutening you also caught a bug which helped you be extra sick.  Sounds like you are doing the right thing by hydrating, hope you feel better soon!

Looks like it was just a really bad reaction to gluten- i haven't even been cross contaminated in over a year, according to the gastro the reactions can get worse the longer you're gluten-free.

 

I've got a gastro appointment in a week to make sure there's no Chron's and to schedule an endoscopy to check on healing. My blood relative is considered refractory Celiac so they're thinking that could be part of it.

 

they really don't think it was norovirus or anything, sort of wish they did!

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
