My Major Glutening

Yesterday, the Nascar season began with the Daytona 500. So we get all ready to watch, I make a batch of gluten free buffalo tenders for me and b/f. They are finally ready, race is going, now we sit down to eat... I used Blue Cheese Dressing, no wheat in it.. have used it from the same bottle before, but uh oh.. something happened. I got sooooo sick. I also fed our stray cat while I was cooking, the food we give her has wheat in it, but I only take the closed bag outside, pour it into the dish, close it up again, and put it right inside the door on the floor, it doesnt leave that spot ever.

So we are eating and the gurgles began... I ran to the bathroom, yup a glutening.. but it was amazing, it was the best glutening I ever had!!! :P not painful, just had to come out.. it did and it was over (so I thought).

I came back and said, no more blue cheese dressing, switched to a gluten free ranch dressing.. not as good, but hey gotta do what I gotta do.. couldnt finish my chicken anyway, made too much! lol

As for the rest of the day, nope, nothing stayed in.. phooey. It was a pretty serious glutening for me then.. usually for me once its out, i can eat again without a problem, not yesterday. Everything kept coming out.. phooey.. today I am ok so far.. eating breakfast now.. hopefully it will all be ok!

My first major glutening in a LONG time! Does anyone use a gluten free blue cheese dressing? I love and miss my blue cheese with buffalo tenders, I finally perfected that recipe, but now no dressing! phooey!!

Sorry to hear about your glutening... I hope you're feeling much better now...it sucks when something previously 'safe' does a number on you!

That stinks..I thought that Litehouse Blue Cheese was gluten free?

(I hate to ask while you feel sick, but have you ever posted your buffalo chicken tenders recipe??)

That sucks, I just glutened myself cooking noodles. I tasted mine to see if they were done, and without thinking (oh yeah) I tasted their's to see if they were done. Hope the food "stays in".

OH NO! I hate when that happens. I did that once at my mothers around the holidays my first holidays with celiacs. Just was touching it to see if it was hot, and licked my finger! :blink: I guess we are all able to make mistakes like that no matter how long we have been at it! I hope you dont get sick! If you do, feel better fast!!

Sorry to hear you got sick, and at the Start of NASCAR at that....I am glad to hear the glutening wasn't that bad. Hope you are feeling much better.

It's crazy what you have to eat when you don't feel well!! Hopefully you can eat a decent supper tonight.

(Thanks for posting that recipe!)

I also glutened myself last night cooking noodles for my son! I had everything perfect...I thought! One thing that escaped me was when I ladled the sauce onto his noodles the ladle touched them and I put the ladel back into the sauce again..not thinking!! As I was eating my gluten-free noodles I realized what I had done. Well a few hours later stomach started grumbling and I knew I had done myself in. I'm still pretty new to this (diagnosed Celiac in Jan 07). Old habits are hard to break.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease. Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease. Though having the genes for Celiac...

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
