Being "glutened"

I am wondering if you can share with me what it feels like to be "glutened" or what sort of signs/symptoms does your child display when this has happened to them?

Thanks!

When I get glutened:

Big D within a 1/2 hr to an hour

irratable

can't concentrate

brain fog

big D will stop within a few hours, but the rest last for atleast a few days and depending on how bad for up to a week. This is all based on accidently getting glutened or CC'd one time, not continously!

Good Luck to you!

Hi

My son knows within half an hour also. I think it must be as soon as the gluten hits the small bowel.

He gets nauseated, pale. Depending on how much gluten he will go the the bathroom shortly after. he stays nauseated for several hours. Then he adds that food to his DON'T EAT list!

Well, I believe that I got glutened tonight. I made PB cookies, and I think that I am getting a reaction to peanuts...been sick the last few times I ate them. About 1/3 I was bloated and looser stool...not D but it has since past. I know that Peanuts are not Gluten, but that would have caused my to not tolerate them as I never had problems before. Hope that helps.

my dear daughter, 2 and 9 months, gets a reaction with in the hour, goes all pale and a real pain in the neck!! (excuse me for being so blunt!!) she moans and groans and i feel bad for anyone who comes in to visit us ;) She gets really sore in the diaper area, to the point that she is scared to make anything because it stings her so much... she cries when she makes - it must be really painful for her, poor kid!! (just by the way, does anyone know if it gets easier once she is toilet trained? can't afford the diapers for two kids anymore B) )She also gets this really pinched look about her face, it seems like it shrinks in size and that she loses all her fat that i worked so hard for her to gain :D

my dd has a reaction within about 1-2 hours of being glutened. She gets a tummy ache, has to go potty and passes large white stools. For the next 24-48 hours she is a nightmare, cranky, irritable, defiant, clingy, just all around out of sorts. She also gets very pale and develops large purple circles under her eyes.

My son is one of those with a more delayed reaction. His doesn't begin until 12-24 hours after the glutening. Then his symptoms are:

*Dark circles under eyes

*Diarrhea and stomach pains, cramps

*Extreme emotions, grouchiness, meltdowns

*Difficulty concentrating, focusing, paying attention

*Much more likely to have an accident in his pants (He's almost 7 :( )

The worst of the symptoms lasts 24 hours, and then he'll have reduced symptoms for another day or two.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
