Poisoned <sigh>

One week ago I found out I was wheat intolerant. I cut all wheat and gluten out of my diet and felt like I was on cloud 9. It was the best I felt in 6 months! I had some soup this weekend (chicken with rice) outside and I think it made me relapse. This happened on Sunday afternoon and I still have a headache, fatigue, god awful gas, foggy vision and an expanded pouch (stomach)....It this normal???????????????

I never want to touch gluten again. Although, I need to do the small biopsy which would require me to poison myself for a week.....<double sigh>

Thanks for any help. This site is terrific!

Hi Nicole,

Welcome! Glad you were feeling better, but like most of us, you've been glutened. Feeling better will vary from person to person, but I think within the next couple of days you will be there. Just drink herbal tea, eat bland foods, and drink lots of water.

Feel better soon!

Hi Carrie,

Thanks for the suggestions. I got a big jug of water and I'll try to eat light.

Take Care,

Nicole

I just realized California Rolls have gluten in them b/c it's fake crab meat. It this true?

Yep. Crab with a "K" is totally off limits. The other things to watch for with sushi is reconstituted wasabi can have wheat added to it. (If its not fresh and comes out of a tube thats a red flag). Some lower end sushi chains have been known to coat their seaweed with soysauce before preparing it, which makes everything that had seaweed in it off-limits, but this is rare in any real sushi establishment, more a fast-food sushi phenomenon.

The "spicy" condiments used in things like the spicy tuna can also have wheat in them, and most places don't know, so I tend not to eat those. Anything made with dashi is off-limits, which means most miso soups served in restaurants and most dynamites are off-limits as well. The good news is, besides all that there is many sushi items we can eat and I eat sushi all the time.

Your picture is very cool!

When I get glutened, it definitely lasts for a few days.

You said you need the biopsy, that is really your choice. If you want it, then get it. But, if you are having such a positive dietary response, do you really want to go back on gluten just so a test confirms what the diet already has? It is your choice, but personally, no one will ever make me eat gluten, no matter what. If you start eating gluten again you will cause more damage which will take time to heal. So, ever if you think you can take being sick for a week or so, do you really want to do more damage?

Hi Nicole--Sorry you got glutened--it happens to the best of us :D . I don't think a week is enough time on gluten to make a difference in a biopsy, when you've been completely off of it for a while. Did you find out you were gluten intolerant by blood testing? If so, that is a diagnosis right there--also, the positive response to the gluten-free diet is a valid means of diagnosis :)

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
