I have been gluten free for about 1 month now. Usually when I get "glutenend" I know within a 1/2 hr, with ab pain and diarrhea. Last Night I went to Outback and ate from the Gluten Free menu. I was stuffed. I did not get pain or diarrhea last night. Then this morning I woke up sick to my stomach and have had severe diarrhea all morning and now I am starting to get really dizzy . I have tried to drink gatorade to help with dizzyness. Has this happened to anyone I am feeling awful. Were suppose to go on a work picnic later this afternoon. I hope it gets better. Is there anything I can do to make it go away.:(

There's not a whole lot you can do but drink alot of water through out the day to keep hydrated. Sorry didn't see your post until after picnic. Hope you were able to still go. Sounds like your glutening was more delayed than usual maybe cause you are healing. I usually always get the D the next morning but will be gassy within an hour of cc or accidental gluten. I find that eating out, even in with restaurants with a gluten free menu is a hit and miss kinda thing with cc. I try to go when they are least busiest so they can concentrate on my dinner better. As for the dizziness, I would drink a glass of apple juice but that is what works for me (orange juice gives me canker sores and gatorade doesn't have enough sugar to balance me out). Hope you are feeling better today!

Thanks for the info. I didn't get to go to the picnic due to the dizzyness. I thought I was going to fall over. It's better now. It feels like every time I get accidentally "glutened" the symptoms are so much worse. I can handle the D but NOT the Vertigo. That is horrible. I never had symptoms like that before.:( I hope it does not come back again.

My Friend works at Outback and (he's one of the cooks) When my food came back to him it said on the ticket. Gluten FREE. He asked the other cooks "what does that mean." Alot of people even the cooks at restaurants just think people can't have wheat and thats it. I was kinda mad he didn't know how to handle the food. The managers need to educate their staff on food safety and allergies. I can't complain too much at least they have a menu for us. :)

I was at a meeting at work yesterday and thought I could get away with eating the contents of two chicken salad wraps (wheat). There were crutons (wheat) in the chicken salad, which I removed...I thought. The graded cheese (I am casein sensitve) did not help. This morning I felt so sick. I have had several bouts of loose stool, awful muscle aches, ringing in the ears, and extreme fatigue. Had to call in sick today. Lesson learned...

Please don't do that again. We can't just remove the gluteny parts and not get sick. Celiac is an autoimmune reaction it takes only a very teeny tiny amount for us to reactivate the antibodies. We can't even safely use lotions or shampoos with gluten ingredients. I hope you feel better soon and as you said lesson learned, unfortunately the hard way.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
