7/06 Weirdest Thing Is Happening

My husband is Celiac but I do try to eat gluten-free and keep a gluten-free home for his sake. Over past couple of months I have been eating less gluten than ever, basically only at lunchtime and occasionally the Lean Cuisine. Today at my mother in laws I ate a "French Twist" wheat goodie (no fat) but it as high gluten wheat in it. All afternoon I was gaseous and bloated and in pain. I am still in pain hours later.

Would eliminating gluten for a non celiac, then eating gluten - a high gluten pastry thing to boot - instigate a gluten response? When I was eating gluten-free for those few weeks I felt better than I had in a while.

It seems rather strange for this to be happening now.

Actually, anything that has been dramatically reduced in the diet should only be re-entered slowly. However, if you felt better gluten free, you should probably seek testing.

Deb, it seems to me that maybe you're gluten sensitive yourself, and might want to consider being 100% gluten-free as well. Especially since you say that you feel better gluten-free, and you're reacting to gluten.

my personal opinion is that gluten is actually toxic for everyone, Celiacs are just REALLY made sick from it... I've noticed when my hubby eats more gluten-free foods he's a lot healthier, has less "bathroom trouble" and even snores less... when he eats gluten he's in the bathroom more, snores like crazy and complains about his arthritis more. He doesn't believe me and won't give up gluten entirely, but I know it really helps him to be gluten-free.

The more I research about this, the more I'm convinced that wheat was/is not edible despite common belief that it is. It was originally cultivated by Kingdoms many many thousands of years ago that had slaves to feed in large quantities and wheat was an inexpensive way to do this, and a by product of it was that the slaves became more docile and cooperative on a wheat diet (brain fog anyone?)

I say it likely does him a lot of good to be on your diet! The celiac diet is healthier (unless you eat only gluten-free junk food, of course). :blink:

LOL! :blink: This happened to me!

I started of not eating any gluten in the house.I was trying to be supportive to my hubby and was doing all I could to keep him on track.

I thought 'Well I can eat gluten when I'm out'

But strange things started to happen.Once at a friends house I had some a slice of pizza-soon after I felt sweaty,nauseous and horrible.

Thought it was a one off.

Tried again eating Pitta Bread-this time I got a weird tingling on my tongue and lips-(didn't like that at all :o )

Another time at a restaurant with friends I had to dash off to the loo-my stomach was griping up!

I told myself this can't be happening-most odd :unsure:

So I decided to cut out all gluten for a while-and an unexpected thing happened.

My lifelong complaint of ezcema disappeared.

When I started to think about it-my ezcema,and the fact that I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a child (I always had a weak stomach often suffering terrible gripes and diarrheoa soon after eating)

I decided to just cut it out for good.

My body obviously doesn't like gluten,and at the very least I think I might be gluten intolerant.

So that's my (similar) but weird story!!

Deb,

I'm in agreement with Nini on this...I think most people *will* notice improvements off gluten and if its restricted enough...it will provoke symptoms once reintroduced. I've read many posts like yours...too many to not believe that we are all sensitive to some degree.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
