Hi all,  I am new to forum, but was diagnosed with celiac disease over 20 years ago.  Going gluten-free cleared up many things I thought were normal as well as my chronic anemia.  I tend to be a little overweight, IDK why. I'm 67 years old, retired .

 any way, my concern right now is, 3 weeks ago I got glutened at a restaurant, I take some responsibility for it. tho my husband said I can never go back there. I  had a pretty severe bout of vomitting for a couple of hours.  fast forward 2 weeks, now I am experiencing burping(big burps) when I stand up, very gassy with gas pains and some diarrhea. I feel fine otherwise . since going gluten-free, I have been way less gassy , until now.

 Is this something anyone else has experienced?  how did you treat it?  and EEK I' going camping for a few days, crazy I know.  Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts/experiences

I often takes two weeks to recover from a glutening espisode.

Yes, and the article below may be helpful. I always take GliadinX enzymes before eating outside my house (full disclosure, they are a sponsor here), as their AN-PEP base enzyme has been shown in many studies to break down small amounts of gluten, like you might get when eating a "gluten-free" meal in a restaurant, in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines.

The article above, Ten Things to Try if You Accidentally Ingest Gluten, includes rice milk as something soothing.  They may have changed things, but last time I checked rice milk might qualify as gluten-free, but it may not be wheat-free....  20 years ago my doctor pushed me to add rice milk to my diet and it made me sick... Turned out that the enzymes they used included wheat.  Some of us are unable to tolerate wheat in any form, with or without gluten!  I also cannot tolerate grain alcohol or grain vinegars, all of which are supposed to be GLuten FRee.  And look out for Xanthum Gum which can cause celiac-like symptoms in sensitive individuals and is included in almost ALL gluten-free baking mixes.  Broth BROTH Broth!  I make Ginger Beef Soup whenever I have a bad experience eating out.

There are many brands of rice milk now, and the biggest one is probably Rice Dream, which is gluten-free:

I have never tried rice milk, will consider doing so.  usually when I feel like I've had an exposure I go to yogurt and grits.  fortunately I have no issues with alcohol or gluten-free baking mixes; I use red wine vinegar .   This time was just very extreme, but it seems to have resolved. 

 Thank you for your suggestions

      yes, the above is true. however; if the doctor does the tests and finds your are a candidate then dapsone is the drug that will stop the blisters immediately. dapsone started as a drug for malaria and leprosy....I do not know how it became known for dermatitis herpetiformis. I can tell you that my doctor told me she had several patients that have taken it over 20 years. our dosage was one a day until clear,then we went to every other day for a while, working down to zero a day. I still have an active prescription for dapsone but have not had to take one in several years. in closing, if anyone reads this and has truly been diagnosed for dermatitis herpetiform is, then ask your doctor for dapsone..... for those of you reading this that have never had the blisters and infections from the scratching and oozing fluid...than you can't identify. you can have celiac without dermatitis herpetiform is....but all people with dermatitis herpetaformis have celiac...  a double whammy, so to say.

      I wonder how many doctors are aware of this site and would or should recommend it to their patients?

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.
