Is This Being 'glutened'

Well Ive been gluten-free for almost 2 months, still pretty new...i took a chance and had McD's fries last weekend, ever since the day after I ate them, i feel like ive been hit by a truck. I dont really know what it feels like to get glutened since this might be the first time, but I think it is from whats been going on.

Im just plain tired, want to crawl up and get under my blanket...(last week i was running around like i was in the marathon)

then i started getting pains in and around my belly area and over to that infamous right lower side, not intense, but annoying. Kinda nausea, and running to the bathroom at least 4 times a day, especially after i eat. Little brain foggy, def moody...(well PMS doesnt help either, thats why its hard for me to tell what it is)

First i thought it was a stomach bug, but then i thought about the french fries i ate, and i was like DUH!?!

SO any help getting over this would be sooo appreciated....how long do people typically have these episodes? :rolleyes:

It's hard to say. McDonald's fries are generally considered to be okay. Unless your McDonald's is not that "careful", kwim? Maybe talk to the manager.......

Drink lots of water (and maybe try the pineapple juice everyone is talking about now, apparently, that helps in the "de-glutenizing".....)

Hugs.

it could have been the fries, or something else, or both! I have been sick from fries and it is not a good time.

No matter what the source, after I am glutened, I get sick after eating safe foods sometimes bc my body 'hates' me at that point. I drink lots of water and like Karen, potatoes are one of my comfort foods!

I would also re-check your labels-just to make sure nothing has changed.

FEEL BETTER!

The first time I got glutened it made me realize how good I had been feeling!

I thought I had been glutened last week. Could not figure out for the life of me how it happened. Then my dh and dd got sick. Turns out I probably had the flu :lol:

Even though McD's fries are supposed to be safe you always run the risk of cc when eathing out. It might be a good idea (if you can) to avoid eating out for awhile. After I first got dx I avoided any and all resturants. My theory was I needed to figure out how to eat at home first.

I hope you feel better. I drink peppermint tea, sprite and take Immodium.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
