What Symptoms With A Glutening Do You Experience?

I'm still new to the diet, but tried to challenge on Thursday. (bagel) It was weird. Nothing really seemed to happen (digestively speaking). I was in a bad brain fog and my head hurt starting that night and through ALL of Friday like a hangover. And I was constipated. And I had a bad night sweat Thursday night. But what I expected--severe diarrhea, cramping, bloating...didn't happen until Friday night/Saturday morning. I'm wondering if that was the gluten or something else. But man..sorry to go into such detail...but I spent 5 hours in/out the bathroom Saturday morning between 5am-10am. Racing thoughts that kept me awake once that finally stopped.

So...am I out of the ordinary? What is to be expected when this happens? I haven't had my results back from Enterolab yet, but am back gluten-free until I get them, at least. Part of me hopes this is really the problem, so I can feel better.

Hi, and welcome to this board. Everybody reacts somewhat differently to gluten. When I first found out about the celiac disease, I'd get the horrible diarrhea within 20 minutes. Now I have an extremely delayed reaction, and won't get it until a week later, lasting about two days.

So, I believe that you had a somewhat delayed reaction on Saturday. Which is obviously not unusual.

Welcome!

I get diarrhea, it used to be immediate, but now it's delayed until the next day. Also, brain fog, fatigue, rash, stomach hurts and makes a lot of noise. I can feel fatigued for as long as a week.

Food might just naturally move slower through your GI system, causing a delayed reaction in the diarrhea, cramping etc. When you are eating gluten on a regular basis, it is constantly moving in and out of your system. When you're gluten free and then do a challenge, your body has to decide what to do with it and how to react. So in that respect it sounds like your symptoms are completely normal for being glutened.

For me it was mostly intestinal issues - everything turned to cement, and stayed that way :( The "big D" would have been welcomed.

I have yet to get a glutening AFAIK, since I never eat anything I haven't prepared for myself from scratch. My last experiment showed an even worse reaction than when I was eating wheat regularly, which is apparently quite common. I know I'll never purposly touch the stuff again!

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking that the challenge confirms my suspicion that I am sensitive...I have Enterolab results coming to me in about 2 weeks to prove it. But I'm staying away! On to a healthier life....

What would I do without my message board buddies? :D

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods.

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
