Accidental Ingestion Of Gluten

I had an accidental ingestion of gluten three weeks ago on New Year's Eve. Despite getting back on my very rigid gluten-free diet, I still have diarrhea. I was diagnosed with celiac disease about 18 months ago and have managed it beautifully until now. Any suggestions or is it normal to take such a long time for my body to tolerate food again?

That sounds like a long time to me but I'm not that sensitive. I'd be concerned if it continues. A thought... I've noticed that my body is less tolerant of some things now that I'm gluten-free... bacon for example. My stomach won't tolerate the fat in bacon 2 days in a row. Perhaps you're reacting to something else entirely. Regardless... you're not getting nutrition if your food is being eliminated so quickly.

Take care... Baillie

Thanks for your advice. I chatted with my doctor today and she seems to think I have an infection....labwork to follow!

Anything new in your diet? I found out I was reacting to a tea I was drinking nearly all day long. That'll teach me for buying the cheap stuff!!

Nothing new...on the advice of my doctor I am eating only white rice and bananas until tomorrow when I can add applesauce. It has made a huge difference....we'll see what happens when I start adding other foods (gluten-free, of course) to my diet!

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
