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!

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
