Is There An Easier Way Than Riding It Out?

Im gonna start out by saying I am not celiac but gluten intolerant.

I sometimes think its worse because instead of damaging my body I like to tear other people appart when glutened. I say hurtful things and even fear i'd loose my job due to spiteful behaviour....

Lately ive noticed a change in symptoms when glutened I end up in the bathroom and in this case have been in pain from gas for 2 days and bloating medication doesent work....I havent slept or eaten in these 2 days because it hurts too much

I am strangely happy about his because where my symptoms are more visible I feel people will take me more seriously including myself.

So my 2 questions are, am I becoming celiac, and what can I do to aleviate the sypmtoms? Surely lying around in pain is not the only option

Ive been gluten free for 2 years with the occasional accident but never had physical reactions till now

I'm sorry, but the really is no "easy fix" for a glutening besides riding it out.  Eat bland foods, drink lots of water, find some safe probiotics to take.  Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, all you can do is give it time and try to avoid making any cc errors in the future.

 

Generally one with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) will not develop celiac disease.  When one with NCGS develops celiac disease, it is thought that they had celiac disease earlier but it was too early in the disease to be detected.  The only way to know is to get tested, but you need to be consuming gluten in the 8-12 weeks before getting tested... Not fun.

 

Feel better!

Not a total fix, but Pepto Bismol may help some with glutening symptoms.  Peppermint tea can help with getting gas out.  Aspirin may help with pain.

 

Avoidance is the best medicine tho.

When you go to the doctor is up to you Patt.  Only you can decide if your symptoms are serious enough for a doctor's visit.

L-glutamine is thought to help with muscle repair, and may help your intestines heal a bit faster.  Some doctors are behind this but not all - my doctor recommended it to me.

      Is my dishwasher glutening me?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That is true! 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.

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      We tend to crave foods that our bodies know contain the nutrients it needs.  Her "meat kick" sounds like she's listening to her body's nutritional needs! Yes, do talk to her doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with a B Complex.   Well done!

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:
