Reactions To Gluten

I was wondering how you all react when you have been glutened. I have just started going gluten free. I am currently waiting my EnteroLab results(had normal blood test results for celiac). I had been off gluten for exactly a week when I had some, which I did on purpose. My stomach got bloated and crampy and stayed that way for 4 or 5 days. Then I went back to gluten free and have been for 2 weeks now. But, the biggest thing I noticed was that I was in very bad mood during my gluten reaction. I would say that that was my biggest reaction. The stomach issues weren't all that bad, though I could go without the bloat and my pants not fitting properly. I was just curious, is anyone else's biggest reaction in their mood rather than in their gut? Or atleast a noticeable reaction. I am just amazed that gluten could have been causing my moody tendencies all these years. When I don't eat it, I just feel happier in general and less anxious. I never realized I was a nervous, anxious person until I saw that I am seemingly more relaxed when I don't comsume gluten. I am just fascinated by it all. Anyway, I look forward to hearing what all of you think about this. Thanks.

Hi mcs12--welcome! :)

I most definately get moody and cranky when glutened! I get so annoyed, I want to jump out of my skin. Not pleasant!

I also get GI reactions (D, nausea, bloating, etc) about 2 hours after ingesting the culprit.

I'm gluten-free now for 14 months--it dosen't happen as often as it used to--I don't eat many processed foods and rarely eat out. The last time it happened, I was only sick for a couple of days--for me, each episode is a little different in how long it lasts.

I was just diagnosed, and now that I know all the different symptoms, it all adds up! I have alot of symptoms that I just lived with or wrote off before this. I am exausted, extremely irritable, cloudy headed, horrible stomach pains,bloating, gas, diareah, and just discomfort in general. Some of the weird ones I get are itchy skin, joint pain, muscle pain, horrible leg cramps while sleeping, and rarely the depression bug bites me. Alot of these have been around for a long time, the gi symptoms and weight loss are what in the end led me to a diagnosis of celiac.

I believe my celiac disease reactions to ingesting gluten after going gluten-free are:

brain fog

anxiety

nervousness

paranoia

fatigue

insomnia

constipation, then diarrhea

floating stools

gas

weight loss

stomach pain (only sometimes)

When I eat wheat, I seem to get celiac disease reactions and wheat allergy reactions so I find it hard to differentiate between the two. I believe that my allergy reactions are (And I'm not sure if they are from wheat or milk yet):

heart palpitations

heart pain

heart racing

respiratory problems

hives and/or rash

feeling like my throat is closing over

short black outs

dizziness

feeling like I'll pass out

Wow, when you described these allergy reactions, I never relaized that I also have many of these. The heart palps, heart pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. I have been thinking of cutting out dairy as a test, now I think I just might. Thank you for mentioning this!!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      The article was shocking - and horrifying - to read. For me it’s a good argument to cook as many fresh foods as possible. I personally can’t do grain free because I lose weight too quickly and don’t feel full, but I will be sticking to companies I trust like Lundberg for rice.    I live in Germany and thankfully, labeling here is more transparent and more trustworthy than it appears to be in the U.S. these days (where I’m also originally from).  I am so sorry to hear this! May you heal quickly. ❤️

      Yes, it is unfortunate that the GFCO seems to have a policy that allows companies that it certifies to lower their guard the longer that they've had their certification. After jumping though the harder GFCO testing requirements for long enough they seem to "rubber stamp" companies and allow them to keep their certification with much less testing going forward. To me this is like having a restaurant where you train the staff one time about how do handle gluten-free foods, and do the training less and less over time, even though you might have high turnover in the industry. People in big food production and supply companies come and go, just like in restaurants, and it's important never to lower your guard.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There are tons of ingredients that can cause IBS-like issues in anyone, but especially in newly diagnosed celiacs, and it would probably make sense for us to do an article on that topic, but here is an article that might be helpful:

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks but that amount of gluten will def have me in chronic pain and discomfort. My hemorrhoids issues are quite severe. Part of the reason I've abandoned diagnosis.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Beverage · Posted

      Are you exposed to any airborne sources of gluten? We have an older house and constantly fixing something. Cutting into old wall board or plaster can release gluten into the air. Also, the sickest i ever got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they get excited and kick up everything, air filled with dust. Sure enough, their food contained gluten grain.  Any pets? If they are eating gluten, they lick themselves, you pet them .... my pets all eat grain free pet food. If I pet someone else's critters, which I am compelled to do, I immediately was hands.
