Getting "glutened" - What Happens To You Guys When You Accidently Eat Gluten?

I was just wondering, what happens to you guys when you accidentally consume gluten?

I know for me, I get bloated, irritable, and have very loose BMs usually an hour or two after accidental consumption.

I tested negative for celiac, had biopsy and blood tests. So it took a while for me to figure out that gluten was the problem. Now I'm just trying to figure out if there's a difference in symptoms between gluten intolerance and celiac disease.

Also, wouldn't gluten intolerance show up on some of the blood tests? I had tTG and IgA done.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you.

The symptoms are similar with Celiac and gluten intolerance. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but really the only difference in the two are villi damage. With Celiac you have it, with intolerance you don't. In my personal experience, my symptoms are much less severe when I accidentally consume gluten. I have been totally gluten free for about 7 months. Before the diet I would get terrible stomach pains and diarrhea. Now I get mainly muscle aches, headache and fatigue.

I'm not sure about gluten intolerance showing up on bloodtests. I have been wondering that myself. Wouldn't any antibody response mean your body is reacting to gluten? I never understood how a low number means negative. I would think ANY number means trouble. Can someone explain this?

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is...
