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.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
