Are These Normal Glutened Symptoms?

let me first say, i've been gluten-free fully for around a month...i definitely felt better in some ways, but i've had so many (neuro/mental) symptoms that i can't even tell how, but i just all around feel a bit better

but last night, i started to get short of breathe, felt like it was 200 degrees and my skin was on fire, could barely move....i was laying there and i felt like i was having nightmares, yet awake, and i felt like i was extremely drugged up or something....i just felt unbelievably off and it was a bit scary, obviously i feel the same today but...it feels a lot worst than how i felt before(this reaction), and i realized that most of these major symptoms, are things i was suffering with before that i guess they were all getting a bit better....the heat blowing on my feeling used to be so bad, but after having it now, i realized that not long after going gluten-free, it wasn't really an issue

the only questionable thing i had was curly's ribs...lots of questionable ingredients, and i searched on here yet only found one mention of it saying it was fine so things could have changed, and i didn't call the company which was a stupid move but i needed something real quick and figured it was fine

but my question, is it normal to have scary symptoms like that because of gluten, or did anybody else have things like that? the thing was, it was a whole rack of ribs too lol, and being new to the diet, if it was that, it probably hit me hard...i felt this way not long after, but i'm sure that's common....it just feels like gluten REALLY attacks my nerves/brain...definitely looking to get some sublingual b12/magnesium soon, but i'm wondering what else i could do from those who this sounds similiar to

Well, I am not sure if this is going to help your situation or make you feel any better. But, I only have been gluten free just over 4 months, and I experienced that when you do have an exposure (ingesting gluten) after being gluten free for a while, the effects can be absoloutely horrible, worse than when you were intially ingesting gluten. So, yes, symptoms can be very severe, especially after been gluten-free for a while.

I notice the same thing after even being mostly gluten free, {compared to what I was, hehe}..the affects are MUCH worse and noticable.It does make it easier to pinpoint what we just ate, as for me I feel it within 30 seconds of eating a bite of gluten..just muscle through it as best as possible if you can.Good Luck to you. ;)

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
