Glutened?

Hi all,

So. I don't know about you, but I have been paying an abnormal amount of attention to my BM's since I've been diagnosed - I guess that's normal. Here's the question: How do you know what's normal? I feel like EVERY time I have loose stool or the big D I go searching through what I might have eaten (or what my co-workers might have sprinkled on me in what seems to be their 24-7 gluten fest) or used in my hair, etc. etc. etc.

Are we supposed to always have normal BM's? So if we have an abnormal one we can assume that it is a glutening? Or do non-celiacs have loose stool sometimes too?

This might seem silly, but I want to know when to worry! I'm sick of freaking out every other day!

When I get glutened I get a definite frothy floaty diarahea (floats on the water and looks frothy) sometimes it has a bit of an oil slick as well. (they call that stetorea) Not everyone gets that however. I also get distinct stomach cramps. It litterally feels like the insides of my stomach are being eaten. For lack of a better description.

It is normal to sometimes have an upset tummy. Maybe you caught a bug or the apple you ate was too green etc. As you get more familiar with how your body reacts you should be able to tell more so if you got glutened. You most likely will notice other symptoms as well. I know its hard not to worry.

For me personally, I know it's not a glutening if it only happens once. If it's painful and I get nauseous and it keeps going all day, then I know I've been 'violated'. You probably have other sypmtoms too when you get glutened, right? And trust me, non-celiacs DEFINITELY get diarhea sometimes. My boyfriend, case in point.....

I'm not sure how long ago you were diagnosed, but I know that it can take a long time before all the damage is gone. I know my stomache is still sensitive to a lot of things besides gluten. So maybe it just needs time?

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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.
