Typical Symptoms Of Glutening?//

What are the typical symptoms of glutening. I have been feeling really weak, and a lot of stomach gurgling without diarrhea.

I don't think there are any typical symptoms, no more than there are typical symptoms of gluten intolerance/celiac prior to going on a gluten-free diet.

Some people get cramps, diarrhea, and/or nausea. Some get tired with brain fog. I'm sure others can share their stories.

My particular arc of symptoms is that first I get a major histamine attack. I know this sounds weird. Maybe I have a wheat allergy too or something. Anyway I start sneezing constantly for 5 to 10 minutes and my nose & eyes run. Within an hour or two, I start bloating and developing a headache. The worst is the next day. I feel like I have a hangover. The next day is a little better. After that I'm OK. But I'm talking about accidental glutening of small amounts. I don't know what would happen if I hauled off and ate a bagel or something.

On top of this I get badly constipated for 4 or 5 days.

Certainly weakness & stomach gurgling could be your particular symptoms. I hope you get feeling better soon.

It varies from person to person. As bad as my GI symptoms were pre-diagnosis, I don't usually get anything near as bad as I used to. I've also noticed that depending on how I've been glutened, and how much I got, I'll get different symptoms. But it follows a distinct pattern. For example I always get tired and irritable, but only sometimes do I get a rash or have D.

You'll start to be able to tell what your pattern is after a while.
