How do you recover from mysterious gluten contamination? My guts won't wake up despite hot liquids, stewed vegetables, broth & yogurt (goat)....many days later. Doesn't drive you crazy when you cannot sleuth out how you were glutened? I'm 56, teach high school and been gluten-free for 3 years. Thank you!

>.< I use hot magnesium citrate to flush it down then stay on a bone broth, eggs, and some soft cooked meats for awhile and drink 16oz of warm water every 1-2hours most of the day. But my gut still randomly decided to hold onto food til I vomit it hours later....so far as long as I stay away from emulsifiers (guar gum, xantham gum, starches, agar. etc.) and spices stuff keeps flushing down the stomach. I have been dealing with random Gastroperesis like issues for years...I have honestly given in to comparing my stomach to a toilet and force flushing it via plenty of warm liquids hours later after giving it time to digest. I also take extra digestive enzymes to help break stuff down.
THIS IS IN NO WAY medical advice, just what I am doing as a stopgap measure til my GI doctor figures this out.

OMG I feel like less of a freak - thank you! Hot mag drink sounds really smart and I will try it tonight. Eggs are easy to eat (eve buy them from farmer who does not feed grain) and would help with energy. I've had 8 gut surgeries before figiei.g out that gluten was poisoning me....

Hi Laura,

Milk of Magnesia can help get things moving sometimes.   CVS also sell liquid magnesium drinks in small bottles.  Those are probably the nuclear option though.

Is it Gastroparesis or constipation?  If it is the stomach not emptying (vomiting often resolves it), I am not sure taking a laxative is going to help.

in any case, healing from celiac disease should help.  You have to avoid gluten at all costs.  Deviations from the diet can set you back (as you have discovered).  

Recovery for me is weeks or months.  Why?  Because gluten triggers an autoimmune reaction like RA or lupus.  The body will stop producing antibodies when it decides and not just when you eliminate gluten from the body.  

Be patient.  ?

Gastroparesis may be caused by thiamine deficiency.  

Hope this helps.

LauraP63,

To add to what Knitty Kitty said here are some links that might help you.

https://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/718014/gastrointestinal-beriberi-previously-unrecognized-syndrome

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29982183

This happens often because Beri Beri is great imitator of other diseases.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

Posterboy,

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
