Glutened By Cc!

I was definitely glutened for the second time in my 8 months of being gluten free! On Saturday i ate a bag of Robert's American Gourmet Veggie Chips and an hour later I didn't feel well at all. Later, I was bloated and looked pregnant and was having horrible gas and rumbling. I had "D'' 19 times that night and got 20 minutes of sleep! I was physically and emotionally exhausted. It's now Tuesday night and I pretty much still can't leave my bed im so fatigued and in so much pain/discomfort. The bag of chips don't say they are gluten free but the website says CC can occur! I obviously need to be more strict and only buy packaged items that have a dedicated gluten free facility.

I'm very scared because I am going off to college 5 hours away from home in one month and was wondering how long it takes everyone to be back on track after they have been glutened?? PLEASE HELP!

From what I hear, it is different for everybody. It took me about 1 week to get to normal when I ate some soup that had it. I have read that the longer you are off gluten, the longer it takes to recover. I have been gluten free for 3 months. Hope that helps.

I have been gluten free for nearly 4 months and I got my first real glutening Friday night. I ate some Whole Foods Sushi. No gluten ingredients and I didnt eat the soy sauce of course. Just nori, rice, sesame seeds, carrots, avacado, plain shrimp....that is all. But the next morning I woke with vertigo. It lasted all weekend. And the BLOATING!!! OMG.......bloating was not a big deal before gluten free. But my body sure let me know now!! Today is the first day not looking 6 months pregnant. I was so bloated on Monday night I considered an ER run. But took a bunch of Gax-X and did get a small amount of relief. And "D" 6 or so times a day. And today...a migraine (the symptom that disappeared when I cut out the gluten. My BM's are back to normal today and not bloated. But migraine...ugh! So 5 days....I so hope tomorrow is better and I am done with it!

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.
