The Do'h I Glutened Myself Thread

GlutenFreeMamax2,

The reaction you describe after the Frogurt is exactly what happened to me after I ate a Creamie ice cream bar 1 week into the diet. Creamies are gluten-free but the milk, I guess, got me. I turned milk intolerant very quickly after going gluten-free. The intestinal pain I experienced was like nothing I could ever recall & the worst of it was that for the next 2 days the inside of my stomach & abdomen felt raw & painful like I had digested glass.

Don't know if that helps, but...it wasn't gluten that did that me it was dairy. :(

Thanks for the info! I'm a cheese lover. I hate straight milk because it hurts my tummy. Isn't it funny how it takes 3-4 days before it REALLY hurts?! I remember thinking wow, I still feel pretty good. Awesome! Then it hit :( I'm starting to think more and more that it's dairy. I had gluten-free frozen yogert last night. I hope I don't have the same issue :(

I can't even remember the last time I was glutened... cause I'm THAT careful and we rarely eat out. Haven't intentionally eaten gluten since about a year into my gluten-free journey. I'd NEVER, EVER do it on purpose now!!

Just recently I went to a holiday party. I made a rice dish so that I would have something gluten free at the party. The host was very understanding of my non gluten needs and made a red curry and chicken that had nothing on it. He kept all of the containers so I could make sure that it was gluten free. Everything was gluten free and tasted great. The next day I woke up feeling very weird then it hit me. I had the worst migraine I have ever had. It lasted for 3 days. The whole time I was wondering how did I get glutenated? Then I realized that they cooked it in a cast iron pan that may have been used for gluten based items. I even watched him make it. And I helped make part of it ahhh. So dumb.

So...there's no way to de-gluten yourself?

I'm new to this whole gluten-free world, but have to follow it because my I 131 iodione Thyroid ca tx resulted in GI problems and now Gluten sensitivity. yay.

Hello,

I think the bacon got me last night. I read the label but didn't research it online to see if the celery salt or other natural flavors were gluten-free...let me tell you they aren't. It's the only thing I can think that could have done it, everything else I eat all the time. Major bloating, gas, loose bowels...all the fun stuff! Puffy eyes this morning, dark circles, and starving to death.....when's lunch?? BTW, it was Oscar Myer all natural bacon. It's a new product.

Oscar Mayer is a Kraft company and they will always disclose the ingredients in a product. It is one of the companies I trust and really appreciate their good labeling. That doesn't mean you didn't react to a specific ingredient but I question whether you were glutened by the bacon.

Ditto! :)

Love Kraft!

The kraft natural flavoring and celery salt is likely not gluten derived, because Kraft tends to be good about labeling that, but CC is certainly a possibility. The more processed a food is, it's usually more likely that they can get CC'd.

So the other day, I decided to be dumb and not plan ahead what I was going to eat for lunch. I also was counting on the fact that it was one of THOSE days, and I am never hungry on THOSE kind of days. But at about 2:45 I got dreadfully hungry. So I went to the food court. Went and got some mexican food, (special order of course) and not five minutes later, I felt the result. Yeah, note to self... Food is POISON!

Furthermore, I am thinking that Bar-S bacon may not be a safe brand of bacon... Had that a number of times, and promptly felt sick after... Although, apparently the Kroger Premium selection brand I have no problems with. Course it may have also been acid reflux, because I have been rather lazy and not taking my meds of late... oops.

Bella, have you thought that it may not be a glutening but rather reflux? Bacon is a big reflux inducer...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC. My wife also went to a french bakery and bought a gluten-free flourless...

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
