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. ;)

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
