Does This Sound Normal?

I feel physically and mentally absolutely terrible. My muscles are tender to touch. Im extremely exhausted. I can’t focus or work. Yesterday I was in the bathroom all day. Is this a normal reaction to gluten consumption even if it’s not a huge amount?  If so how long does this last? Ive been in tears I feel so poorly and I’m scared I’m not going to get back to my normal.

People with celiac disease who go gluten-free, then accidentally or purposefully eat gluten months or years afterwards tend to have a wide range of reactions. Some have no reaction at all, perhaps because their gut is fully healed, while others have nearly instant reactions that are very bad and last for days or weeks.

This may be a bit late, but this article may be helpful:

Thank you. This makes sense

Are you eating at Restaurants off Gluten free menus?

Or eating packaged foods that are not labeled "Certified Gluten Free"

Yes I’ve been doing both

Then you're eating gluten from Restaurants. You can't eat from gluten free menus from Restaurants regularly. You will eventually be eating Gluten.

So you feel like these physical symptoms are a reaction to gluten?

Probably if you have Celiac.

I haven't been eating gluten for 1 year and 9 months and still don't feel 100% yet.   And I never eat at restaurants... 

What's your anti body levels..

Stop eating at restaurants from gluten free menus.

Don't eat anything packaged that isn't certified gluten free.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
