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!

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
