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!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
