Anyone Been Glutened Over A Month?

OK- I got glutened on January 31st and then ate some chips about a week later that COULD have been cross-contaminated (not sure...Lundberg rice chips) and I still don't feel good. My gas smells like sulfur (which when my primary first suspected I had celiac said was a symptom of malabsorption).

I ate out at Legal Sseafoods and ordered the gluten-free seafood casserole (with GLUTEN-FREE breadcrumbs) which I suspect may have gotten royally screwed up. Possibly real bread crumbs.

I have not been the same ever since- I feel like I have been glutened ever since. I'm nauseous, chills, night sweats, funky BM's like I did before I went gluten-free.

I have checked and rechecked everything and gone back to all my 100% safe products food-wise and personal care wise. I even bought new frying pans because my old ones were scratched just in case (even though they were mostly gluten-free anyway- my hubby used them a few times).

I feel fine unless I eat and then I feel uggy.

I'm seriously wondering if this glutening did some damage if it wasn't just CC and those breadcrumbs were REAL. :ph34r:

Sorry you are having such a rough time, Mtndog...I have had some long lasting glutenings. Usually they last 2 weeks or so, but I figure at least a couple have been strung together to last to a month or slightly longer. I haven't taken away dairy when it happens, because most of my dairy is yogurt and that usually helps me with its natural probiotics. I do make sure my vitamin intake is bumped temporarily then as I get the muscle/nerve twitches and cracks in the corner of my mouth. The extra B complex/folate and vitamin C helps that, too. I don't know if that will help you heal or not. It works for me. And figuring out what I ate that wasn't right! Not always so easy!!!! My last one was just over a month, so I had my serologies checked to be sure it had cleared up. They were normal, so my paranoia about it has abated now.....hope yours quits soon!!!

Oh would that it were so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the good wishes- yes, it was the Triple Clown of glutenings but this a.m. it actually feels more like stomach flu.

It's so weird how the symptoms are the same bit feel TOTALLY different.

In my experience the quantity doesn't seem to matter.... it can but then every so often the tiniest CC can have me knocked for 6...

Another theory I have is our body stores up gluten in fat... (well around fat) and when we starve and start using the stored fat for energy we release the toxins... indeed we probably release lots of toxins so if your not eating then your using up your fat reserves and releasing the toxins stored away which can make you feel icky all by itself....

On the + side.... you are getting rid of these toxins... once and for all instead oif hiding them away...

I had the same problem. I've been feeling 'off' for about 2 months after I know I got glutened at least 7 times over a week (holidays at the in-laws :blink: ). I think it's some other intolerances now, but it could just be taking you a long time. Who really knows with celiac!??!

I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. The same thing happened to me a while back. Ate out at a restaurant that can handle gluten-free. Got my dish and it looked like regular version so I had hubby try it and weren't sure so waiter checked and yup it was reg one so replacement came and I still got glutened. It took 1 week for the worst of it to get better but 2 more weeks for bloating, C depression, lethargy etc. to really improve. Now 3 weeks later I'm only starting to get back to where I was before. :angry: Made me wonder if 2nd try was still full gluten version. I made the mistake of going at a busy time.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
