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!!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
