Someone Drinking Barley Beer Talking And Some Of It Falling In My Mouth

Recommended Posts

I instantly felt like I reverted to how when I ate gluten (been gluten free for about a week [finding thing That contain gluten and removing it from my diet e.g. protein shakes toothpaste] is that common and how quick will it be till I return back to gluten free sense of mind?

First, the amount of gluten in a whole beer made with barley is usually pretty small. I am assuming you mean someone spit? I doubt that would bother you.

As for when you will feel like eating gluten free again? That I couldn't say. I don't think a couple of drops of beer should make you not want to be gluten free.

Why are you gluten free? Do you have Celiac?.

FallenLegacy Newbie

Yeah someone's spit and I've changed to a gluten free diet about a week ago and until the spit entered my mouth my night was going fine. I'm still going gluten free but I wondered how long it would take for symptoms caused by gluten to go away

And no I'm not a celiac but have decided to go gluten free to improve my mental health and as such is changing my physical. Technically I'm speaking to the most sane people alive

A person with celiac disease can take up to one to three years for intestinal healing -- less perhaps, if you are a child.

Perhaps you were not glutened -- just freaked out due to someone's spit getting into you!

There is a steep learning curve to going gluten free. Chances are you probably have had gluten exposure eating something else. If you suspect celiac disease, the best thing would be to get tested.

Perhaps but it wasn't until the person who had a barley beer in his hand who'd just drank it got his spit in my mouth that I experienced behaviour I experienced before going gluten free (not a celiac but I now for a certainty know I have gluten sensitivity, I used to chug gluten free food down like it was nothing every day and I've just been free for about a week). But yeah maybe I mentally overreacted a bit. Thanks!

I mean, I am a germaphobe and would probably react more than the average person, but if it wasn't someone like my husband, I would TOTALLY flip out if someone got their spit in my mouth. LOL.  So, ya know, I would mentally overreact for sure.  I would probably make myself sick thinking about what pathogens that person had in their mouth that I was going to get sick from.  So don't feel alone there, sometimes you can never tell what exactly makes you feel poorly, either.

correcting myself, I used to chug food containing gluten* daily (pretty much ate pasta every day since the september that passed along witth fast food etc being a student so i've only recently realised my gluten sensitivity)

If you're not 100% gluten free, you're consuming gluten daily.  Pasta and fast food are only the tip of the iceberg.

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
