Kinda Gross...

Ok. From reading so many posts, it seems gluten affects a lot of people differently. Myself, I get this awful tasting gas in the form of burps, then I throw up, have D, throw up some more etc and that's my reaction. Whole episode from the yucky burps to the last toilet visit is about 10 hours.

I just wondered what happens to others when they get glutened.

Please don't think I'm wierd.

Now, I have thrown up after a glutening. You may have some gastritis which results in the foul burping.

I would recommed that you stick to some plain foods for a while and see if it will improve.

"D", throwing up, dry mouth, brain fog, muscle pain, blisters, cramps ... did I mention brain fog, shakey, and yup, some more brian fog <_< Do my very best to avoid contamination.

That's my Sheba (Shiba Inu) doing a stand stay, but as she spotted a squirrel I wasn't quite trusting her as you can see by my hand. :lol:

Tucker - my chocolate lab in the picture is the same way with squirrels.... He loves to make them run up the tree in our backyard. LOL :P

My symptoms: pain in lower abdomen (like razors in there), bone pain in hips and ribcage, arthritis like symptoms in knees and hands, dark circles under my eyes, the big "D", urgent and frequent urination, ringing in my ears, wheezing that you can hear from across the room, swollen feet, depression and mood swings (to say the least! maybe because I'm P.O.'d at myself for being stupid enough to get gluttened).

But, I'm so new to all of this that I'm still learning - the hard way.

I have only a "possible and questionable Sprue" diagnosis from the Gastro doc and no blood tests because I had "figured it out" before seeing him and was on a gluten-free diet for 5 weeks. I don't want to gluten myself just to have the test. :wacko:

Gee, some of these symptoms are really awful. I guess I'm not so bad off, afterall. Mostly urgent and frequent and violent D, irritability, fatigue and generally feeling crappy - for about two days, then a week of being sluggish. Even so, I really don't want to be glutened, either. I LIKE feeling good!

amybeth Enthusiast

I'm pretty much a "lighter" case, in comparison.

Within no more than 20 minutes of ingesting gluten, I will have extremely urgent D (really inconvenient if I'm eating out!). Then, I feel physically drained (no pun intended) for the rest of the day - lack of energy, exhausted, totally wiped out. It almost feels like I'm instantly depressed. That could be because I'm frustrated by glutening myself - but I remember pre-diagnosis, the same feelings would occur before I even realized I was causing the situation. My stomach doesn't really hurt, but it kinda feels like a dull ache like after you've had the wind taken out of you??? (hard to describe). That typically lasts the rest of the day.

I'm suspecting that every once in a while I have the complete opposite C after I've been gluten-ed, but I haven't been able to track that so I can be certain.

Interesting topic b/c it's amazing to me how this impacts all of us SO differently!

oh, yeah, I forgot brain fog! (LMAO)

Welcome to the board BlueJeanz. It is funny that one gets frequent urination along with D. I forgot to list that, but you are right, I think it's fairly common.

And Amybeth, how could you forget brainfog :lol: That always drives me crazy. I get it so bad sometimes that I'm scared to drive.

Electra Enthusiast

Gas, bloating, pain in my ribs, migraines, frequent urination, constant hunger, spots before my eyes, altheimers like brain fog, lower leg numbness, cramps, coldness, and burning, EXTREME moodiness, EXTREME depression, stabbing upper stomach pain, eye itching, arm and hand numbness, blackouts, having conversations that I don't remember, being told that I was saying things that didn't make sense and I didn't remember it, constant side aches that feel like overy pain, EXTREME exhaustion and fatique, tiny red dots on my hands sometimes that look like little blood vessels have poped under my skin that come and go, finger prickling, irrational reasoning.............

Should I list more LOL!!

x-tina Newbie

i guess i have it pretty easy..i think it's because i've had it for awhile...but i seem to get "D" within a few hours after i have gluten...but one question...is stomach pain, coldness, hand numbness, eye itching, leg numbness...is all that stuff related to having gluten...cause then that'd solve why i sometimes get that...hopefully it is.... :D

Carriefaith Enthusiast

My reaction to gluten is sort of mixed in with my wheat allergy reactions so I find it hard to differentiate the two. These are the symptoms I believe are celiac related:

Brain Fog

Fatigue

Anxiety

Nervousness

Insomnia

Irritability

Depression

Gas

Bloating

Constipation and/or diarrhea

Stomach pain (can be severe)

Nausea

Well YES pain, coldness, hand numbness, and leg numbness are ALL signs of Celiac. The eye itching is a theary of mine because I actually have allergy eye drops for my eyes that don't always work and I hadn't had any eye itching for a very long time and then Thursday I was cleaning all day and I wiped up bread crumbs and before I got to wash my hands I itched my eye and within minutes it started itching wildly. I immediately made the connection and assumed it was because I had rubbed my eye with gluten crumbed hands and so I have to be very careful about that from now on. I'm not sure if the gluten I had wiped up caused it or not, but I'm almost positive it was the culprit!! I wouldn't be surprised if that's been my eye allergy problem from the beginning!!

I hope you are feeling better soon!!

Sillyyakdidi Apprentice

well, at least its good to know that i'm not the only one who gets sick sometimes. i hope none of us feel like this ever again!

"D" is my big one, brain fog, mouth sores, skin break-outs on my face, itchy skin, fatigue....and very depressed moody and very foul outlook on everything in general. The sad part of this is the last set of symptoms....I am a very happy person and when I get glutened some of the things I say or think are so bad.

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
