We ate at an Italian restaurant last night. They have home made gluten free pasta which I have had many times. Unfortunately someone made a mistake abd gave me regular pasta. I woke up in the middle of the night with every symptom I've ever had magnified 10 times due to the fact that I ate a whole serving.  I feel so stupid for not noticing. Does anyone have suggestions as how to get it out if my system faster or how to lesson the symptoms? I've got a horrible headache, joint pain. Sharp pains in my stomach which have been traveling up and down, and diareah.  I'm also very foggy and I can't concentrate on anything. 

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I'd say drink lots of water,  and get as much rest as you can.

Someone on this forum once advised me to keep eating, they felt it helped move things along faster, and I would agree with that.

If the diarrhea continues for a while, you may wish to get some gluten free rehydration salts to replace salts and sugars lost, you probably know the ones - you add them to water.  If you don't have any in the house, there are a lot of recipes online.

Feel better soon.

Thank you so much. I've been drinking water. I'll try to eat today. And definately some rehydration salts.

A pleasure. 

You may not have the same issue, but there is one symptom that I find follows on from a glutening - I get a burning sensation in my stomach for a few days.  If this happens to you, what I do is try to follow a gastritis/reflux diet for a while, avoiding spicy and fatty food, acid fruit, alcohol and caffeine.  Small regular meals are helpful.

I find gluten-free chicken broth very comforting, or you can cook up a crockpot of slow cooked root vegetables and chicken with herbs, very slowly at a lower temperature so it is literally falling apart.  It's easy to digest and healing.

Come back to us if you need any further help.

Hi Cristiana, 

Thanks for reaching out. All of that is great info. At the risk of being to graphic and gross I'm beyond diareah at this point. Being a Sunday I have no doctor to ask. I've never had anything this bad. It's now turned into sharp stabbing pains followed by yellow liquid. It's 2pm here in florida and all I've eaten is a scrambled egg and some tea at 9am. I'm trying  to keep drinking water and I've got some hemp milk. I don't know how to stop this yellow liquid from coming out.  Is there anyone out there with ideas ? I'm getting desperate.

I am sorry - I live in the UK so I don't know what services exist in Florida.  If I was in your situation and was worried, here I'd be inclined, on a Sunday, to ring an out of hours medical line, it's called 111.

Or if I was really worried take myself to Accident and Emergency at my local hospital.

Is there any sort of out of hours service you can call where you live for advice, or maybe call the local hospital to see if they can help?

I think seeking medical advice is very important if things continue much longer.  In the meantime, keep hydrated and rest as much as you can.

I am turning in soon, it's 9.30 pm here in the UK so things will go quiet from me now.  Take care, and hope things improve soon.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
