Day 8.... Still Stomach Issues

Sorry for the gross detail (a warning......)

It's been about 8 days since I've got glutened (over Thanksgiving, I think at a friend's house). I've had stomach issues ever since - the classic bloating, D, alternating with constipation... basically my whole body is off and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to this.

So I'm trying to eat, staying away from dairy, and every time I eat I get D. My belly just doesn't want anything in it! So I have no energy, and I"m HUNGRY.

Do you all experience this? What do you do? I've been glutened before but this seems somewhat worse than usual. I went to bed at 9:15 last night and I'm already tired, after so much sleep... I can't seem to get enough and my brain is foggy.

Breakfast this morning was a frozen banana, some Panda Puffs cereal, and a rice cake with a little bit of peanut butter. Maybe too much food but I was hungry from last night and all I could handle was rice pasta with sauce, again no dairy.

Perhaps I am eating the wrong things? I guess this is how it goes? And if I can't eat dairy (GI recommended this) then what in G*d's name do I put on bread : (

Boo.

I have to go back to basics when I get glutened. Just meat, rice or potatoes and vegies. Also teas. Any grains kind of sit like a stone in my stomach. I can eat corn tortillas just fine, I like them toasted.

I also make chicken noodle when I think the noodles will sit ok.

Some people do take a long time to feel better. I'm sorry you're hurting and hope you are better soon.

Thank you for the reply! I have to go shopping and get some basic stuff. I've been eating chicken soup for a while, TG for the gluten-free kind - it's actually really, really good. I wasn't sure about potatoes or noodles. I had rice pasta last night but I think the sauce was a bad idea - I don't know what to do with it without my usual butter and cheese!

I agree...eat plain white rice, plain cooked chicken, hamburger or turkey. Cooked plain veggies (no raw veggies or frut), very little oil. Eat small amounts slowly. Maybe some applesauce.

Try hot mint tea. I use Trader Joes Mint Medley or The Republic of Tea Mint Fields Organic Herb Tea which has spearmint, peppermint and (my favorite cure) Lemon balm in it and has the gluten-free certified gluten free label on it.

Good luck!

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If...

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.
