Glutened Or Just Plain Old Stomach Virus

i've been very strictly gluten-free since 1/1/06

i have never had celiac symptoms.

but i've read all over the place that after being gluten-free for a while. i may develop symptoms when glutened.

a few days ago (thursday) i very clearly had a stomach virus. It was going through my family, and i didn't think twice about what it was.

then last night, my stomach started gurgling right before i was going to have dinner. i barely ate. and soon after, the big D started.

but without the general pains of the stomach virus I had 2 days earlier.

my stomach's still gurgling. i don't feel much like eating, and i don't know what to make of this.

i guess if it happens often enough, i'll leanr how to tell, but how does one know they've been glutened and aren't just sick?

thanks

I had the stomach flu over the holidays. I guess a way for me to tell the difference is that when I'm glutened I'm usually able to function even if I don't want to. When I had the flu I couldn't hardly get off the couch for two days. It was a very noticeable difference for me. I usually don't take naps, but when I had the flu I slept all the time - I even fell asleep in the bathtub!

Hope you're feeling better soon.

      CT with contrast.

      This is not standard when looking for celiac disease. Is it CT enterography? That type of CT can be used when looking for Crohn’s disease or IBD. CT will see more of the small intestine than can be seen during an endoscopy, as well as the large intestine.

      Is it normal for you to have a CT with contrast as well as endoscopy with biopsy. When being diagnosed.

      New labs are now very elevated

      Hello, I was very stick, with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel. Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change? What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?...

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".
