Question About Being Glutened!


romeo77

Hey there peoples

I have been fairly well since my last posts in early 06 after defeating a helicobacter stomach infection on top of celiac healing..

I Have had a strict 0% gluten diet and have been fairly well over last few months, i just feel i have received several glutenings at my girlfriends place just over a week ago... i keep getting a nauseous / quivering feeling where i think im about to throwup, ive honestly never had that before , its revolting... sure ive had diareohea/bowel problems but this is more stomach felt and behind the ribs...

my main question is that if a celiac is glutened can symptoms last for over a week? and also does the glutening damage and inflame his/her stomach ? or is it something your over with after two days or so..

i dont know whether to put it down to my gluten poisening and just think , dont worry your stomachs been damaged just chill out and cope with it... or go to the doctors and get a blood / sample test ...

any help much appreciated guys!!!

cheers

I have heard other people on here talk about being sick for a week or more after being glutened. And if there were several in a short period of time, it would make sense to me that you'd be looking at a longer recovery time.

Maybe you could keep some gluten-free only cooking items at your girlfriend's place?

My stomach definitely gets inflamed when glutened. I doubt that you need a doctor, you just need to wait it out, don't eat anything that would be hard on your stomach for a bit, avoid gluten, and you'll be fine.

And yes, you can have symptoms from ONE glutening for two weeks, never mind several in a row.

Yea unfortunately it can last a while. I found that PeptoBismal helped me a bit with this.

I got glutened at my moms 80th birthday party, it lasted about 9 days!

I use Zofran or Phenegran when I am so nauseated that it affects my work...as a teacher I can't go home early very easily! You can get these from you dr. Only take Phenegran if you can sleep...it makes you sleepy but definitely makes the nausea go away.

If it doesn't clear up in a few weeks then I would see a dr but for now you probably just need to wait it out and be more careful of what you eat. I think I tend to get careless and then if I get glutened I am more picky about what I eat!

Hang in there!

I get the nausea and feelings of wanting to throw up when gluttened. I take Dramamine and sometimes pepto bismol too if it is bad. Dramamine works great for me and they have a less drowsy formula.

I am still trying to figure out how long it lasts for me, but at least 3-4 days.

I am an old pro at this--5 yrs gluten free this month. Yeah, it can last 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and when the nausea and diarrhea go away for me, then my tummy hurts, like a huge black and blue for days. It's never fun being glutened and it will happen from time to time. Take care. Deb

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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! 🫶
