I'm sorry to hear you've had some set backs, but this is common. These two articles might be helpful:

Dear Scott I have now been gluten free for 3 weeks and I am so listless tired a lot of the time when I poisoned myself last week I honestly thought I was going to die so much so I crawled to open the door I had terrible vertigo in case I had to call an ambulance... I looked it up in between nausea and spinning that this was a symptom of being poisoned by gluten ... I think I am still in shock with myself diagnosis and have made an appointment with the doctor ... All of my horrid symptoms have gone no more sore muscles no more bloating no more feeling physically sick and I now no I didn’t have IBS ..... This is such a new and sudden life for me scary but I am grateful I now no I have this thing ... I see tablets advertised that say they stop the gluten getting into your intestines is this true ... Thank you for the articles sent it was very kind of you to set up this site for fellow sufferers and I will be eternally grateful but just now am wiped out

It's good to hear that your symptoms are improving on a gluten-free diet. 

The GliadinX enzymes are indeed a site sponsor here, but I only allow that because they work, but only on small amounts of gluten, like you might get if you ate something "gluten-free" at a restaurant that was contaminated (perhaps they cook your eggs or bacon on a grill where they just cooked pancakes). I don't eat out much since the pandemic hit, but normally would eat out at restaurants 1-2 times a week, and would inevitably end up having gluten issues, and it didn't seem to matter whether I ordered off of a gluten-free menu, and the restaurant staff acted like they knew exactly what they were doing.

Rather than quit dining out, which is something that I love to do, I take at least 2 capsules of GliadinX before a meal whenever I do eat out. Since doing this I've never had another issue, and I doubt this is due to the restaurants suddenly becoming perfect at preparing gluten-free meals.

I did a review on these here, and this is a true story:

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
