I have had a bad week. I think i got glutenened on friday, cause i was sick on saturday. Then i have been really tired all week. Then today i woke up with my stomach gurgling really bad and could feel lots of gas in my stomach, Now i have been running to the bathroom every 10 minutes with watery poop(sorry tmi), and im miserable. I have never had poop like this. Is this part of being glutened. or do u think something else could be going on. and what can i do to feel better. Or do u think i have been glutened again since friday.

Know how you feel. I have had the watery stuff lots., but never sure from what as I react to so many things. Do you have other food intolerances? The only thing I know how to do is drink lots of water all day to get the bad stuff out of my system. Hope some of the experts on here have some better ideas!

It could just be a glutening. I am not sure, as I am not an expert, but I get those symptoms when I get glutened really good. Usually not just with cc, but a major cc, those are usually some of my symptoms..

I am sure others will chime in on this.. I guess if you really feel like it could be something else, it couldnt hurt to go to the doc either...

Sounds like a glutening to me. I used to get the watery diarrhea all the time.

I notice on the gene thread you started that you have one of the same genes I do; DQ1, 0602. When I first got my results back, someone here told me that it was more common to have pain and neuro symptoms with that gene. (Which I was having, big time.) I'd say your back pain is probably nerve pain from the glutening. For me, it's usually constant pain in a particular area, usually my back and hips. It sometimes gets bad enough that I get what feels like painful electric shocks. It usually interferes with my mobillity anywhere from just walking funny, to really not being able to walk much.

If you feel like something else might be going on, you should see your doctor. It sounds a lot like me when I get glutened though.

It may be a gluten problem or it could be a reaction to dairy or some other item. I see new items pop up now that did not bother me before. Hang in there.

nancy that is exactly what it feels like. The pain is like in my back and in my hip area. I almost convinced myself i was having an appenditicits. But i know its not that.

My hubby tried to talk me into going to the dr, and i said no way. I did tell him if im still feeling this bad i will go tommorow. I just dont want to go today.

Im wondering if i got sick from fritos last night.

Mother nature also decided to show her head this morning, so maybe it is just an mixture of everything. i just know my heating pad will be my best friend today.

I usually have one or two days of the nerve pain and then it starts getting obviously better. It sucks that you're getting cramps on top of it. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

I am so happy that you said just one or two days. Cause i have an baseball tournament and soccer games this weekend.

Before my husband went to work, he told me he was going to clean the house from top to bottom on friday, and we taking all gluten out of the house. He said he hates seeing me this way and its not worth having bread in the house. That is practically the only gluten we have is the bread and frozen pizzas. He did ask me if he could keep his coors light and i said of course, but he is responsible for throwing away his cans. lol.

I know that whenever I had a lot of frito's they made me sick. CC issues with them. I could handle a little but I don't eat them anymore.

You have a smart husband. Just make sure not to kiss him after he's had a beer. ;)

My husband eats gluten sometimes when he's out, or if he goes out to lunch when he's at work. So he doesn't feel like he's missing out on anything.

Going by my symptoms, I'd say you should be fine by the weekend. Maybe still a little achy, but that's about it. But everybody is different. Fingers crossed for ya.

I have that problem with fritos in quantity and store bought tostada shells. The tostada shells are killer, for me anyway, they taste good but wow, do they make me sick.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
