So I accidentally consumed a glass of a beverage that has barley and oats.

normally get the gluten-free version of this brand and was in a rush this time

 

i have been gluten free for 5 years since being diagnosed and never consumed gluten...idk what to expect.

i am honestly so freaking scared because of the horror stories that have been told to me.

its been 12 hours since consuming the product. No major symptoms other than gassiness.

 

could I have gotten lucky?

 

 

here is the ingredient list

All celiacs react differently, there are in fact I do think 3 classifications, one of which is even a silent celiac where they get the gut damage but no outward or hardly any noticeable symptoms. Some of us react immediately some withing a few hours to noticeable symptoms. Regardless we all have the immune response where our immune system goes on its internal little rampage for days, weeks, even months trying to kill all the gluten, just trashing the house we call our body in the process a little differently from person to person.

Some of us show it violent reactions of vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, DH Rash, Extreme pain, cramps, burning sensations, brain fog, or various forms of nerve issues. Others have more subtle apparent reactions like gas, bloating, bit of confusion, dizziness, twitching, etc. And some debateably lucky ones have none that are noticeable, all the while the immune system is attacking the intestines that could later compound into other issues. This last part is true regardless for all of us.

I myself depends on the exposure inhaled flours, and residue can cause brain fog, numbness and confusion, straight up eating it will cause me vomiting violently sometimes even puking blood, rotating diarrhea and constipation, very bad brain fog to the point of sometimes forgetting how to even turn on a facet, and on 2 occasions even complete motor loss on the floor unable to move for 6-8 hours. In my case it also seems to attack my nervous system and brain.

In my personal experience, celiac symptoms can vary with each gluten exposure.  You might not experience any symptoms at all!  Just move forward!  Congrats on adhering to the diet so well!

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
