Change in Symptoms

Hi Everyone, 

this is my first time joining the forum. Thanks in advance to all those who respond. I was diagnosed with celiac about 2 years ago, and also have mast cell dysfunction. My question is, can your symptoms change from one end of the spectrum to another? Historically after being glutened I would experience constipation and horrible bloating along with the headaches brain fog joint pain etc. But I think I am starting to trend toward  having upset stomach sometimes with diarrhea and nausea. For example I suspect I was glutened at a restaurant last night. The waiter was very confused by my request, I knew better but ate it anyway. Today I am very nauseated and have upset stomach with cramping. However, my histamine issues can sometimes cause upset stomach and cramping. My lymph nodes are also swollen but again, happen with both exposure to gluten or histamine build up. 
 

Anyone have any thoughts?

Welcome to the forum, @amandavc!

I would also think that your response to being glutened at any time might also depend on what else was in that meal that might have triggered histamine overload or other food intolerances that you might have developed since being diagnosed with celiac disease. And yes, I do think how we react to being gluten changes over time. After being gluten free for years, if I do get glutened now my reaction is much more violent than before diagnosis when I was consuming gluten daily. Before diagnosis, my symptoms were vague and relatively minor but now a glutening episode causes severe abdominal cramps and intractable vomiting for hours, followed by hours of diarrhea. Whatever tolerance to gluten I once had before diagnosis is now gone.

Thanks Trents, that is helpful. 😊

I agree with @trents and reactions can vary quite a bit from person to person, and can depend on the "dosage" of gluten ingested.

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?

      Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

      Jason, I have a bone to pick with your terminology. There is "gluten intolerance" which I believe is synonymous with celiac disease and then there is "gluten sensitivity" which comes from Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or NCGS for short. It is true, however, that there is still a lot of inconsistency in the use of these terms.

      I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying. I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair. Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour. I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years. Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊. I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago. best wishes everyone 🍄
