A Gluten "slip Up"

Hello,

I've been very careful gluten free for almost a month now, and made the mistake yesterday of being out for an extended period of time without safe food to eat. I've noticed that I get REALLY hungry, when I'm hungry -- almost like a sudden dip in blood sugar. Anyhow, I was at a Starbucks, and looked through all their ingredients for menu items and the only thing that didn't list wheat was chocolate cheesecake. (VERY sweet.) I got it and started kind of wolfing it down, and within three bites I was overcome by nausea and almost got sick. I thought it was because it was way too sweet and I really needed substantial food, but I suddenly realized it had a cookie crust. (Strange thing to overlook when I've been so careful!) I only had a couple of bites, but there you go. Today I have stomach pain, slight nausea and reflux for the first time in about two weeks.

Do you think that reaction could have been from the gluten in the crust? Would the reaction make my stomach upset even tonight? I had a biopsy that "suggested" celiac and a negative blood test, but my doctor believes I have "subclinical gluten intolerance."

Thank you.

P.S. Can anyone recommend a good pizza crust?

After almost 2 years even with accidents, I can get a reaction to gluten in minutes, especially if I inhale flour in a kitchen or forget and lick an envelop. It's a constant battle to be diligent vrs, hunger. It can happen fast and slower for me depending on the type of accident.

Good luck

yes, reactions can take anywhere from minutes to days to appear, depending on how much gluten was ingested, the concentration of the gluten, and the severity of your condition (not that you can really have non-serious coeliac its just a question of the amount of time its been active)

As nikky just said, it depends on your sensativity...for me it only takes a few minutes. Last year i had to eat gluten for 5 days before a scope and i nearly threw up WHILE eating a bun because I almost instantly got a reaction.

As said above I believe it varies for each person. It is definelty possible. I know when I'm super hungery and then eat alot(especially something sweet) I get an upset stomach. However, you obviously were eating something with gluten so I would say that is what it was.

For me the reaction depends on if I was glutened or CC'd. If I get glutened(which hasn't happend in months...THANK GOD!!!!), it's almost instant!!! CC usually is a couple of hours later!

Hope you feel better soon!

If you have a Whole Foods near you, they have great pizza crusts.

CC is cross contamination.. an example would be if you cut normal bread with a knife then used the same knife (which now has gluten on it), without washing it on a loaf of gluten free.. that gluten free bread would now have gluten on/in it

Quite honestly it varies so much....

I don't even think it has to do with how much .... indeed it seems totally random how long it takes and how long it lasts...

I'm sure quite a lot of things influence it like general health and being tired or not etc. but the best rule is there seems to be no general rule.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
