Really Scary Experience

Yesterday afternoon I had a philly steak sandwhich(no bun) from a place that is aware of my condition and tries really hard to fix my food. About half an hour after eating I felt the familiar rumble. I went to the bathroom and realized that I was going to be awhile so I left work and went home. After several trips to the bathroom, and (sorry) vomitting once I went to stand up and all my muscles started shaking to the point I had to hold on to the walls to get to the bedroom. I sat on the side of the bed and wondered what was going on. I looked at the clock and it was 3:32, the phone rang and it was my son checking on me. He said "Well I'll let you get back to sleep." I looked at the clock because I hadn't been sleeping and it was 4:05. I don't know if I passed out, fell asleep, or what. The rest of the eving I was weak and didn't eat. Any ideas???

Hope you're better this a.m. Sounds like you got glutened big time. Don't know about all of your symptoms, but it does sound like it was a shock to your system.

i feel like this when glutend but am not phisically sick. if these are your regular symptoms of glutening dont worry you will return to normal soon otherwise if its not you may have some food poisoning, go to your doc if you are unsure.

Weird. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. I started getting really weak and confused and could barely make it up the stairs to my apartment. Then I started shaking uncontrollably and was freezing cold even though it was in the 90s that day. I threw up and then pretty much passed out because I felt like I was going to die. The next day I stayed home from work because I felt like I was recovering from the flu. Not sure if this is the same thing. I couldn't trace it back to gluten and I never react to gluten like that so I have no idea.

Sounds similar. I was cold too and wrapped up in a blanket with it 98 outside.

Jenny, that sounds more like food poisoning to me than a gluten reaction. But since it came back out both ends in a big hurry :blink: you may have gotten rid of whatever it was quick, and will probably be better soon. I hope you'll be okay for your anniversary celebration!

Actually, if you have severe diarrhea combined with vomiting than you could develop hypokalemia, which is potentially serious. Next time it happens I would go to the E.R. for fluid and electrolytes replacement.....although you could have just been tired/dehydrated.

I would say gluten except for the weak muscles thing. I agree with Ursula, it sounds more like food poisoning than anything. Hope you are feeling better this morning.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
