New Symptoms For Me

[sore joints 0]

Hi everyone,

So I've been off gluten for a year. Always had atypical symtpoms and am still waiting for my appointment with specialist. Anyhow this summer I've been glutened by accident and my reactions seem to be getting worse. For the past two days I've had weird stomach aches (as though I've been punched), and very bad pains in my lower back. I've also had vomiting and blood in my uring. I went to a clinic and the doctor said it was most likely a kidney infection. Weird thing is though...I woke up today feeling better. Anyone think that this could be a reaction to gluten I accidentally ingested?

Also, anyone have any experience with a nutritionist. I'm going to see one and don't know what to expect.

Thanks for your help.

Unless nutritionists have improved vastly, you will most likely get better and more reliable information right here on this forum.

My celiac husband was referred to a nutritionist after diagnosis and he only went once. She really didn't have a clue as to what was available in gluten free food. She basicaly said he would just have to eat meat, fish, poultry, veggies and fruits. Now I know that very healthy; but come on.....there is more to life than that.

With the thousands of contributors on this forum, they can tell you how to make almost anything you want to eat gluten free.

As to your symptoms, they really do sound like a kidney infection. Did the dr give you an antibiotic?

Sad, but true; once gluten free, you react much more when you do ingest it.

Glad you're feeling better anyway!
