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 ).

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

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
