Symptoms after being “glutened”

I have celiac and over the past weekend I was at a wedding and unknowingly got glutened with potatoes. 
 

i was wondering does anyone feel this way after being glutened? Or do you think it might be something other than celiac 

Sunday the day after the wedding my hands were red, I was bloated, and felt weak. Monday through today, I have had the worst body aches, not being able to have a strong grip, aching joints (hands bright red), face turning bright red and hot. My hands feel like they’ve been crushed by bricks and the rest of my body feels like I’ve been in an accident and my legs feel like I just did the most intense leg workout. 
 

since I’ve felt sick all this week, I’ve taken it very easy, so I know the body aches aren’t from me doing physical activity.

 

any help, advice, or insight is appreciated!

Because of the red, hot face and hands it sounds more like an allergic reaction than it does a glutening.

I thought that too, but I haven’t had anything different other than being glutened and the red hot face happened a day or two later. 
 

not sure what these other symptoms are though.

You can develop allergies at any time of life.

Hello there TB93

I hope you do feel better soon.

I do get chills where my face gets red, and I feel hot and cold throughout my body, about 1-2 hours after glutening but I don't think I've ever experienced it after a day.  I don't suppose there is a chance you were glutened after the wedding?

I suppose as well it could be a viral infection?

In the past, has gluten caused body aches, chills etc for you?

Thank you. Maybe? But I’m very strict in my house with not allowing gluten and I’ve only been eating at home.

Don’t think so…I’m only 30.

@TB93,

I think it was the potatoes.  Potatoes and other nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers) contain alkaloids that promote "leaky gut" and inflammation.

I get achy joints and swelling.  My hands get so puffy and stuff I can't knit! 

I hope you feel better!  Drink plenty of fluids.  Vitamins C, B12, and Pyridoxine B6 can help reduce histamine levels which helps reduce inflammation.  Vitamin D can help reduce inflammation, too.  

Keep us posted on your progress!

Potatoes do not have gluten, but they are nightshade plants which contain poisonous alkaloids. Persons with genetic mutations on the BCHE gene are especially susceptible. (see "butyrylcholinesterace deficiency," and a few variations on that name.)   Any potato skin with green should be discarded, and never eat raw potatoes. I suggest avoiding all nightshade plants for a while and see if you feel better. Also, you can get your genes tested (I used Promethease and 23andMe raw data, but Promethease has now merged with another company) to see if you have a BCHE mutation. Green potatoes are actually toxic for everyone, however. The green itself is chlorophyll but it signifies the presence of solanine, which is the toxic part.

      iron digestibility

      @glucel, There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia. Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen. In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular...

      iron digestibility

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      iron digestibility

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
