Getting "zapped"

My 18-year-old son is recently diagenosed. He never had loose stools or lost weight. He did have muscle, joint, and stomach pain, plus many other symptoms. We do very well with his diet at home but I think he occasionally gets gluten while eating out. He went to Hooters with his brother 2 days ago and today he is achy and pale, but no stomach pain. Is it possible to have this type of less "normal" reaction? It seems that 6 times now, two days after eating out or going to a tailgate party, this has happened. Thank you and bless you for your help.

YES!! When my daughter gets glutened, the first thing that happens is she gets dark circles under her eyes. For me, it's negative thinking and exhaustion. It's very common to have non-classic or less obvious symptoms with a glutening. Pale and achy would make me think he got glutened too.

I like your word though. Zapped is definitely how it feels.

Hope he feels better.

I have had very good luck with Triumph dining cards when going out to eat at new places! I know there are some free dining cards online somewhere... maybe he could try those!

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
