Cramps as a new symptom?

[mareahf]

Hello,

I have been gluten free for ten years and when I get glutened my symptoms are nausea, headaches, diarrhea, fatigue, and headaches. So yesterday I had bad cramps like menstrual camps but worse. Today they didn’t go away so I went to the dr thinking I might have an overian cyst but they didn’t find anything. So I still have cramps and I have diarrhea and nausea. Could this be a glutening?  Has anyone ever developed a new system like cramps?

This disease is a chameleon, it always changes and evolves, each one of my exposures was a bit different. Hell I never had D the first 4 years of the disease til this year....and it last a bit over 6 weeks each time now . I started off with Hyde like flips outs, extreme cramps, constipation, brain fog so bad my mind looped like a broken record driving me insane. Over the years it has changed, I hardly feel the cramps now with gluten, I get really bad D now, past few years I also get gluten ataxia with motor control loss or muscle issues, along with extreme depression and suicidal thoughts.

Just goes to show it changes over the years, my suggestion is start a food journal with symptom check list. Do anything else that used to be a gluten sign show up? Can you identify what triggered the reaction? Was it gluten or a new intolerance/sensitivity? Keep these questions in mind and record the results to help with future issues.

On the last note it is very common for us to develop issues with other foods...mine roll in and out so much I find eating maddening at times as one day a food can be fine the next I am vomiting. I also have Ulcerative Colitis which flares to carbs, sugars, and spices.....and randomly at times.
