Hi all good morning from sunny south Florida.

I have some questions.

Can one become more sensitive to gluten whe you are not ingesting it?

Can you body reacts strongly to it? once you are off of it.

Many thanks have a great day

That is how my gluten intolerance progressed. Actually, all my intolerances progressed and the longer I was off, either the more sensitive I became or the more I noticed small amounts. I am not sure which it is but it sure seems like I am more sensitive.

I have only been gluten-free for 8 weeks but I am more sensitive to several things now, dairy and some brands of corn products. Looks like your sensitivity goes up a notch after you leave the poison out of your diet.

Hi.

I do not vomit that easily. Now 5-8 minutes after I accidently take any gluten I start to vomit my life out. Then it stops after everything is out of my system.

I guess this is another give from Celiac.

Best regards

Yes! I am so much more sensitive to small amounts of gluten as time goes on. By small amount, I mean cross contamination.

It didn't take long for this to happen after I went gluten-free--I think as soon as I really got all of the gluten out, my immune system took a deep breath and started going after it with a vengence! :D

Actually, before I was diagnosed, I was just plain sick all of the time. It was just some days were better than others. When the offending protein was removed, and I began to slowly have more good days than bad, the symptoms became much easier to define.

As the body heals and becomes healthy a tiny amount of gluten can cause a reaction that in the past may not have been experienced. The longer people are gluten free, the more small amounts of gluten can affect them. That is why cross-contamination is an issue.

I think (and this was just my experience) that I feel sicker now because I'm not sick all the time, my body is not used to feeling this way. Before I went gluten free I was sick nearly every day, and I think I got used to it. Because when I started a gluten free diet, I was shocked at being okay by late afternoon, not in pain or queasy or gassy, etc.

Does that make sense?

The same thing happened to me after about 2 weeks being gluten free. I guess it's your body telling you it doesn't like it.

It makes perfect sense. There are days I feel much better. others that I'm very tired. I am taking the multi vitamins twice a day. :rolleyes:

Maybe this helps explain why I feel more sick now than prior to going gluten-free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
