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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      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!
