Hi all! I posted last week about getting glutened last week on Tuesday. Well I was up the last two nights sicker then I've been in quite some time. I really have no idea why. I always have had gastric problems, all of my life, ulcers, gastritus, IBS, ect..... When I went gluten-free it was a complete turn around in my health. No more meds, no acid reflux. But then just last week with the accidental gluten I really started to feel awful again. I was sick for about 2 days after, and had started to feel better. Then wham!!! It's back again, and even worse then before. And last night was really bad. I didn't get any sleep at all.

The only thing I can think of is CC from eating at Chili's, but I was really careful about what I ordered. I ate the same thing I have eaten there before with no trouble at all: hamburger pattie with cheese, no bun, and the seasonal veggies. That's all I ate yesterday, because by dinner time I was too sick to eat.

If anyone has any suggestions, or similar instances I would love to hear them. I am having a really hard time today.....I want to just eat some bread......but I know I would just feel even worse. I've been gluten-free for 4 months.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry you feel so awful, I hope you find relief soon.

My stomach has been screwed up lately too, as I'm writing this, my stomach feels like it's trying to eat itself again, and it's not making me real productive at work. My stomach has been messed up ever since a course of antibiotics. Have you taken any new meds or anything lately?

I've started taking probiotics to see if that'll help, maybe that'll help you? Maybe it'll help just to get some food into you, like plain rice or applesauce. It might help to calm things down.

Feel better :) Sorry I couldn't be more help

You might try cutting out all dairy until your stomach settles down. Sorry I could not be more help.

Thanks ChelsE! I'm going to try something real plain in a minute, maybe applesauce or cottage cheese. Sorry to hear your feeling bad again. I was doing probiotics, then I just stopped, I just forgot about them. They did seem to be helping, though.

I did take some Pepcid AC. I didn't even look into it to see if it was gluten free. If that's it I'm going to scream...... :o

Will let you know.....

I've been putting that off......I just didn't feel like I could cut out dairy on top of gluten. But if I can't figure out the culprit.....I guess I'll have to give it a try!

I just got off the phone with the company that makes my generic version on Pepcid and they said that the generic does contain gluten! <_< Regular brand does not.

Man! That means that the worse I've been feeling, the more med I took, the worse the gluten intake.....

Sometimes I think this is all ridiculous.....

And to top it all off, my mom called, she could tell I didn't feel well. I tried explaining it all to her, but she said I was just going overboard. That the small amount of gluten in a pill couldn't cause me to be sick like I am. She said that it was just my stress level, which I admit has been elevated lately. But I know the difference between stress feeling icky, compared to gluten feeling sick. I sometimes think my mom is just throwing salt in a wound. :(

Anyway- In case anyone has a store brand acid reducer.....call ahead and make sure its gluten free. Lesson of the day: Always call and check!

Oh Laura--Sorry your conversation with your mother got you down. We know just how possible it is to be sick from "just the amount in a pill". Actually, even less will do it too :D . Good thing you called and checked--now you will start to feel better for real!

wow! sorry to hear that you are feeling so bad. I hope you feel better soon. Thank you for the info on the store brands of acid reducer. I have Pepcid in the closet and I have taken it for heartburn.. and usually it helps. I am glad to hear that I havent been glutening myself. I do hope you feel better soon!

I am feeling better. I think sometimes just knowing what did it makes it better. I bought some name brand pepcid today.....so I 'll be prepared next time.

As far as mom, well, I know better then to try and talk to her about this. She trys sometimes, and to a certain point, then she just decides enough. I'm just glad I can come here and tell you guys about it and ya'll understand! It really does mean alot to me!

I'll stop now, getting teary eyed, (I'll blame it on the gluten :D ).

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
