New Symptoms For Me

sore joints Apprentice

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.

Alison

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!

Kay

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
