I Accidently Ate Wheat! Need Advise!

I have been on the wheat-free diet for about 3 weeks now and I finally started to feel better. My eye irritation finally went away and my allergies (to dust and my dogs) started to get better too.

Then on Halloween night I accidently ate a twix bar (not thinking of the wafer inside the bar) and I swallowed it and thought, "crap...this has wheat in it!" I had that one little bite and threw it away. the next morning I woke up and my eyes were swollen and my stomach as in knots alllll day! I have never felt pain like that in my stomach before. It felt like someone tied my intestines in a knot! After a day that went away but my eyes are still messed up and my allergies are sensitve to the house and dogs again. oh yeah, and my ecezma is back too.

Here is my question, how long will it take my body to get back to normal again? Do I have to wait 3 weeks again??? I only had a little bit and I can't believe how my body reacted to it!

Thanks

Tina

You're body is going to have to work it out, each person is different.

For me it helps to take probiotics if I get CC'd...it might help if you eat gluten on accident. It cuts the time in half for me!

Sorry you don't feel well. Hope you're better soon.

CC means cross-contamination, which means getting gluten through accident- like when someone dips a wheat cracker into your dip and you get sick. CC'd is slang for accidental glutening.

Probiotics are natural bacteria, like you find in yogurt. Drug Stores and natural food stores like GNC sell probiotics in capsule form. I find them helpful. You can do a search here on this site or on google to learn more.

When I have gluten accidentally, I drink a lot of peppermint or lemon balm tea. Peppermint is easier to find. Celestial Seasonings is in most stores and it's gluten free, but check labels.

Good luck!

For me it seems to get worse and longer with each glutening but mine so far only last 3 to 4 days. I don't get the gut reaction but do get intense pain in my muscles and joints with spasms. :angry: Nothing helps me at all it is just a waiting game.

Hope you feel better soon.

You usually have to just ride it out. Everyone seems to have their own form of comfort food when they get glutened - mine is milk, cheese, and scrambled eggs. Are you gluten-free or just wheat-free? It just jumped out at me as unusual since most around here are gluten-free. I'd hate for a fellow celiac to be eating barely and rye without realizing it!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By MagsM · Posted

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.

      Not all of King Arthur’s gluten free flours and baking mixes are certified gluten free. This bread flour is not.

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!
