Better at the Beach?


Plonkers

Hi there,

I either have a severe gluten intolerance or celiac, although I can't be sure yet because I can't eat gluten to get a proper diagnosis without experiencing pain, bloating, severe heartburn, etc.  I've been gluten free for 3 years and can't even have gluten in my house or I get glutened.  Anyway....

Last week I was at the beach, and I didn't eat any gluten, but even so, I felt so much better, didn't have even one stomach ache despite cooking in a kitchen that was undoubtedly contaminated with gluten (I was sure to wash everything, but still).  I even drank coffee all week, even though I can't drink it at home because it exacerbates my symptoms (esp. heartburn) and makes me more sensitive.

I got home last night and bam.... within 30 min I had a pain in my stomach and had to take a zantac.

Has anyone ever heard of a link between where you live and gluten intolerance?  

Thinking about moving, lol!!!!!

Maybe it is not your celiac disease acting up?  

I struggled last year with gastric issues.  I had a repeat endoscopy which revealed healthy healed villi and a new diagnosis: Chronic Autoimmune Gastritis.  While I can control or treat my celiac disease with a gluten free diet, I can not control my gastritis.  I notice that my gastritis occurs or is made worse with stress.  

Maybe you should look beyond celiac disease as a source of your current issues.  How is your thyroid?  Autoimmune thyroiditis and  celiac disease are often linked.

As cycling lady said maybe review other potential issues or environmental expsoures. Many of us have other conditions or intolerance s. Do you have other allergies IgE mediated to outdoor or indoor allergeans? Something like dust, or mold, or construction materials can be in a home\rental  environment at your home but not the rental. Families with hayfever and asthma can react to indoor and outdoor environments too.

I hope you can figure out culprit and address it for your relief.

Good luck

      @TempCloud  How are you doing?  I hope you aren't reacting too badly? I would most likely react like Trents.  That said, I have read accounts of some coeliacs not showing any symptoms after glutening, after a long break from eating gluten.  But should that happen to you, unfortunately it should not be interpreted as the 'green light' to go back to gluten.  I am afraid coeliac disease at the present is a lifelong condition, and so, too, must be the gluten free diet.  Here are some tips to try, to help you feel better.

      If it was me, within 2-3 hours I would be throwing up violently with excruciating abdominal cramps for 2-3 hours. When this phase was done I would go into the diarrhea phase for several hours. But every celiac is different in how they respond to getting "glutened".
