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.

      No red meat

      I did talk to the nurse and she asked who told me no red meat. I explained the person who called with the results of my blood work. That was last week. She told me the doctor was on vacation and would be back this week and she would talk to him and have someone call me this week. I have not received a call yet. I will call them back Monday as a reminder...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      I shop a fair bit with Azure Standard.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/
