Hi I'm new to being gluten-free...about 2 weeks now. But yesterday I ate a Taco Salad and the whole thing including the shell...it totally escaped my brain that it contain gluten. But today I haven't gotten stomach or gut aches yet :) but I did have a fever yesterday night and random "kidney" pains today that stop me in my tracks but only last for a couple seconds. I was just wondering if that's because I'm glutened or maybe just that I don't feel good. I was just wondering if anyone ever experience that when glutened...thank you!!

I don't know about a fever... I never had one when glutened. But as for the lack of reaction from eating gluten... you're pretty new to it all. When I first went gluten-free, I had many, many slips as I learned the diet and didn't have huge repercussions. I remember about a year after being gluten-free, I made two beautiful loaves of homemade bread for a party and was so upset that I couldn't eat them... I cut a thick slab, buttered it, and ate it!! I had NO symptoms!! I made this great plan... to cheat maybe once a month w/ foods I really missed... but never got to try my great plan! The longer I was gluten-free, the more sensitive I became! And now, 7 years later... I don't so much as BREATHE a crumb of gluten if I can help it!!

It takes time and practice to learn where gluten is hiding.

Are you certain the shell contained gluten? If so, you would have gotten glutened even if you ate around the shell. If your food touches gluten, it is contaminated! You may already know that, but I just wanted to make sure.

My older son sometimes gets low-grade fevers when he gets glutened.

Taco shells are usually made from corn. It might have been gluten-free.

I think it contained gluten because I'm pretty sure they're made from flour tortillas but I did wake up this morning with horrible cramps and a gut ache my glands in my throat are all swollen and i have some itchy spots on me...so i'm pretty sure I was glutened and now paying for it :(

Taco salad shells are usually made from wheat flour. They are different than "taco" shells. I know because I used to be addicted to them. So light and airy and crispy fried and pale. Nothing like corn.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
