I'm feeling a bit achy and tired and earlier I has some stomach cramps and nasty smelling gas and ditto bm's (sorry!). Glutening you might suspect but I'm in a good mood. I wouldn't feel like doing my taxes right now (or ever :P) but I don't have any brain fog either. I asked my husband if he could tell the difference... he could! :ph34r:

Another reason I'm positive it's a stomach virus is that I just met someone yesterday who emailed me later that they had a stomach bug. Some of the time I work with kids so it's not really surprising...

I just thought it was interesting, I've sometimes wondered when I was glutened and couldn't pin point it to anything if it wasn't just a virus after all but I feel totally different than when I've been glutenend. Even the smell was different! :P:lol:

I don't really mind at all, it's funny really, I always tell people that I wouldn't mind the GI symptoms - it's the fact that gluten messes with my head that I find scary and annoying. And it turns out to be true! It's sooo much easier to deal with cramps and feeling sick when my mind is working as it should. When I get glutened it's like I don't want to be depressed, and I try to talk myself out of it, but I CAN'T.

Lucky it's the weekend, I've been just flopping down in front of the telly with a hot water bottle on my belly and lots of tea.

Hi

I've had the same thing, it seems like i've been glutened but no brain fog, is it possible to be glutened and not have brain fog?

Or could it be something completly differant like not cooking the chicken properly the night before or a bug? I suppose the syptoms would be fairly similar. I always put everything down to Celiac which can be so wrong sometimes. I suppose we get used to blaming everything on Gluten :P

I certainly believe it is possible. I seem to have the classic "cast iron stomach" although the rest of my digestive system is a disaster area. I get constipation, diahrrea, gas (lots of that), floating stools...the works. Just no stomach/abdominal pain.

I have problems figuring what has got me sometimes. Monday I had bad D, and I was going over and over in my mind.. where did the slip up happen. My boyfrind brought to my attention that for lunch I ate a WHOLE QUART of watermelon and that would give anyone the runs, and even more me being that my inttestines are so beat up.

gah... celiac is not the cause of all my problems... but 75% of them.

Hi Paulina--

I hope you feel better soon! :)

I had the same situation in reverse recently. It was the awful brain fog that tipped me off that it was gluten--and I was able to track down the cause (CC from a product I thought was made in a separate facility--stupid me!). Other than that, it would have been much harder to tell.

Thanks everybody, I feel much better today, just a little weak. Another sign that it definitively was a bug, in my experience with stomach viruses I usually get better pretty quickly when I get the virus out of my system (one way or the other :P). Gluten on the other hands tends to linger for weeks.... <_<

It still throws me that my husband could tell the difference... :ph34r::blink:

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
