What Does A Glutening Feel Like ?

I thought I would try some dessert last night. You know ...friends around... just alittle bit ... Well - no instant pain - so thought I was OK and perhaps only Gluten Intolerent and healing ...

Today - 12 hours later have stomach pain ( mild ) and mild Diarrohea.

Have I been Glutened ? I mean. Does it get worse than this and do some of you folks actually eat something and know you will suffer later? Do the Glutenings vary according to how much you eat or type of meal. I have only slight pain so does that mean I only have a slight GI problem??? Haven't had a biopsy and too late now to try. Blood tests were OK.

A glutening happens immediately after the gluten containing food passes your lips!

The answer will vary according to who you are, how sick you are, how well you are, how much you ate... etc. But, as someone who just did something very dumb... I will tell you, I am suffering from severe dizziness, nausea, my stomach is KILLING me, I can barely stand up because I feel like I'm going to fall back over. I'm miserable, and I'm KICKING myself for eating that darn bun with my sandwich. And, I just know that feeling the way I do, it's only a matter of time before the "big D" sets in.

*Never* again.

it really varies by person. everyone's symptoms are different. that you noticed a change soon after this food is one good indicator, but only repeat exposure really tells each of us what it's like, and I can't recommend you try that. ;)

It was only a small amount of flour but am surprised by my mild reaction. Don't worry - not planning to try again ! Can still remember my severe reaction 2 months ago. But hopeful that perhaps some minor healing has happened. That I only have GI.

Georgie, by GI do you mean gluten intolerant?

Well if you are gluten intolerant, it would mean the same diet restrictions as a coeliac, in that you cannot eat gluten. It does not matter whether you have healed or not, you will still not be able to eat any food containing gluten. To do so could and will make you sick. So being gluten intolerant means being gluten free for life.

Georgie--Jayhawkmom is correct--the minute you swallow, you are glutened. The reaction time is different in everyone. AND, the longer you are gluten free, the worse the reaction, most will say. Being glutened always gives me diarrhea, severe cramping, and my tummy ends up feeling like one huge black and blue for more than a week. Now barley causes a slightly different reaction--I havent figured out why. My corn and soy intolerances cause severe constipation with cramping. I have never ate something knowing I would get sick, not since going gluten free. I have been glutened only a few times by accident. My daughter caught me with an ice cream cone at a family reunion once--before I got to the cone, she let out a yell, "Mom, you can't eat that!!!!" I don't know what happened to my mind, I honestly didn't even realize I had a cone. The same reunion, my sister had made some wonderful gluten-free zucchini muffins and her hubby brought her one, told her how wonderful they were and she took a bite--immediately realizing he had not gotten one of her muffins. At that point, she became a master spitter...amazingly, she was not glutened by the accident. Steve felt so bad, he was sure it was the muffin she had made. Her daughter brought some chocolates from Germany, Judy read the ingred and thought they were ok, forgetting that foreign country's do not have the same food standards as the US and she was very sick because of the maltodextrin in the candy. SOOOOOOOO, it happens to us all and most of us do pay dearly for accidents. Deb

      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.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
