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.

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:

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!

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.

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

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!!

"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.

      Buckwheat

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
