Glutened By A Sloppy Drunk!?

Sorry I've been posting so much in here, but I can't believe I was glutened by a sloppy drunk/high dude! I was at a festival (with loud music) and he comes up to me and stands really close, talking loudly in my ear b/c he cant hear very well. As he was talking he was holding a large glass of beer and eating cheese crackers from a bag....his glass was wobbly, I was just waiting for it to spill. He continued to talk my ear off and it seemed the more he talked the more he started to spit and slober...I then realized the spit was getting on my face and it even landed in my eye once! I started backing away, but he continued to talk and follow me like a magnet. I was holding grapes in my hand that I had just picked and he started taking them off the vine and eating them as he talked...w/o even asking (funny, b/c he's drunk, but not cool since he was touching crackers and just being gross) He wasnt creepy or anything, and I didnt want to be mean, but I just said "here, take the grapes" and walked away. later on he came up to me again and ended up spilling beer right in my path as it splashed on me.....so I'm thinking "great"......I wasnt anywhere near water or a place to wash my hands......a half hour later I started getting gurgling in my stomach, now I'm all bloated and have gas that smells like puke!!!!

I'm thinking maybe it was the grapes, but then I realized I was eating them while the dude was talking to me, some of his spit probably got onto the grapes!

this is my first non-intentional glutening in 5 months! And a gross one!

anyone have similar experiences???

That's by far the most terrible gluten experience.......... Gosh I'm sorry! :blink:

The closest I've come is kissing someone that drank beer - got a little sick from it. The stuff is potent. :ph34r:

Hope you feel better soon!

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance".

      I have always eaten gluten and never stopped until my recent episode. I started more wheat products as my Dr. requested for the Tissue Transglutaminase Iga Antibody. mye result Value <1.0 Value interpretation: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or =15.0 Antibody detected I do not understand any of it. After eating all that wheat product my body...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.

After eating all that wheat product my body exploded with all sorts of symptoms. I stop gluten ASAP. I am still in the healing process. I started having issues after my surgery.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Ello! You say you had a blood test for celiac disease after eating gluten for 2 weeks. Were you gluten free before that? Had you ever been officially diagnosed with celiac disease previously? You say the result of the blood test was 1.5. Can you provide the name of the test and the reference range for negative vs. positive for the test? I ask because different labs used different reference ranges so scores without a reference range aren't very helpful.
