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

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.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.

      I have been diagnosed with coeliacs disease today after endoscopy, bloods and CT scan. I have also been diagnosed with Mesenteric Panniculitis today. Both of which I believe are autoimmune diseases. I have been told I will need a dexa scan and a repeat CT scan in 6 months. I had not even heard of Mesenteric Panniculitis till today. I don’t know much about it? Has anyone else got both of these.
