Sick Or Glutening?

OK - sorry to go graphic - but I had some severe D tonight. (ick!)

I could have been glutened at the lunch table today at work. It was excpetionally crumby and filthy today. I cleaned and cleared a spot and washed hands and was very careful, but you never know......

Still, and I may sound crazy here, it didn't feel like a glutening....It felt like different D. Does that make sense? I don't know if I am imagining things, making things up, or just plain crazy, but it seemed different than any I've gotten from being glutened.

I have a slight fever, so I'm guessing my hunch is correct, but I'm just curious......

Basically, my question is - how do you tell if you've been glutened or if you have a bug... or are you winging it too?

Hi again! I moved this to 'Coping With'--hope this is where you wanted it. Anyway, it sounds like you may have caught a virus. I always get stomach rumbling, cramping and D about 2 hours after I've gotten some gluten. That's how I know that it's gluten and not something else. Everyone is different, but I think most people have some sort of sign that happens when they've been glutened. It takes a bit of time to get familiar with all of it. Hope you feel better soon :)

Do you only get D when you have gluten? Maybe there are other symptoms that would help ou detect gluten. For example, I can tell becasue I can get brain fog, dizziness, a rash/hives, and heart problems.

I was fine earlier at work, I have had no gluten today for sure. However, as three people were off today with a virus, I know that is what I have. It too was not the same as glutening. I would say you and I both have a virus now.

If I have been glutened I know within 5 minutes. I have spent most of the day in the bathroom and it is not the cramps of gluten. If it doesn't feel like a glutening, chances are it is not.

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula...

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on. I'm not eating gluten as far as I know. However, I'm not sure of cross contamination. My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ??? if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease...

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula; I visualized and it felt real. The perception went away as soon as I removed the pressure on my knees, I deducted that the pressure of my elbows on the knees caused the sensation, so I repeated the position and the sensation of having the body of a tarantula happened each time. I have not had that experience since then because I started a gluten-free diet short after. I wonder if those people that look distorted to themselves in the mirror could have something similar but with the responsible sensory contacts located on their feet. I want to document this experience because it might help some research or others, it sounds crazy but I feel the right thing to do is to share it.
