Does This Happen To Anyone Else?

I have been gluten-free for several years now. every once in a while i will get this horrible tasting gas in the form of a burp (tastes like rotten eggs) and several hours later i 'llhave the runs and end up throwing up. This whole episode lasts for several hours until the rotten egg gas stops coming up--seems to be purged from my body. Does anyone out there have this type of reaction? L.A.

That horrible gas was my most life-limiting symptom before I figured everything out. I never threw up from it, but it was too awful and constant to even think about going anywhere. I do still get it if I get glutened too.

Hi there,

My son gets those really bad and we have to leave the room! :blink:

His is due to the lactose intolerance. Whenever he eats cheese or milk he turns into a rotten egg.

We all run for cover.

Hi LA: Your signature included "GI told me that he has four other patients just like me who have all the symptoms of celiac and whose overall health is greatly improved by going gluten free, but just don't have the intestinal damage that goes along with classic celiac." Maybe your GI should question how he's doing the biopsies, rather than just assuming his patients are weird. Unless docs take biopsies of every inch of the small intestine, they can easily miss celiac damage. Unfortunately they assume their tests are correct and their patients don't have celiac disease, despite symptoms and dramatic health improvement when abstaining from gluten. SIGH <_<

That sounds like giardia ( beaver fever) to me, which a person gets from drinking impure water. I had those same symtoms for years long before my celiac disease showed up. After switching to distilled water - we used to drink unpurified pond water- I've never had it since. even if I get some gluten now. :)

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
