I'm on my third day atm.

I haven't been glutened for months even when out but got glutened by c/c when out on Monday night.......it's been really miserable. The D has passed but still stomach cramps and pains so another quiet day but might be able to manage some pottering around the house catching up on things like washing

Glad I am not alone. I am feeling better. Went to bed at 7:30 last night, slept it off. Slept 11 hours. Mild headache but better than yesterday.

My symptoms have a definate progression. The gut issues resolve with in about 3 days but for full resolution of all the other issues takes about 3 weeks.

I react to gluten in a variety of unpleasant ways.

Gut reaction (bloating, gas, pain, constipation): about 2 days

Mental reaction (depression, anxiety, irritability): 2-3 days

Skin reaction (the WORST by far, I get big red extremely painful cystic acne/Dh(?) on my face and scalp)2-3 WEEKS and sometimes a month to go away completely. That is why I am always devstated when I get glutened, the skin reaction is bad and it leaves scars. :(

My worst reaction ever was one time I ate a lot of gluten by mistake (stupid, stupid me!). I had just started eating meat again after being veggie for 3 years and I ate a plateful of tyson chicken strips and rice. Being that I was a vegetarian before I had just assumed all non-breaded meat was gluten free. I had no idea, and God did I pay for it. I thought I was just dying or something until a day later my mom ran in and said that she found out the chicken I ate had wheat in it.

It was terrible, very bad mental issues, I couldn't even think my brain felt like mush, also it did something to my thyroid or something with my circulation, because my entire body felt like ice and I would just shiver and shiver. I had to take hot baths all throughout the day to try and stay warm. Also I broke out in the painful rash all over, it sucked. That time it took a month to go away and I will never be so careless ever ever again!

It depends how often I've been glutened recently. If it's been a while and I've healed from the last time, it might only last a week and after that I'll feel completely fine. If it hasn't been a while, it's about a week of really bad symptoms and then I'll have a couple bad days a week for the next several weeks before it runs its course.

For me it's usually at least 2 days, sometimes up to 4 or 5 depending on how much I eat. Usually, I only get glutened from CC issues so it mostly only lasts a couple days. For me, the worst is the horrible gas and D. Sometimes the gas happens within a couple hours but sometimes it doesn't show up until the next day. Then every time I eat anything, my stomach rumbles and feels unsettled and I have to rush to the bathroom (usually at least 5-6 times by lunchtime). Also, I get depressed/irritable. Sometimes I bloat and get stomach pain. Sometimes I get really tired.

Does anyone else find that their reactions tend to be slightly different each time? I don't mean reaction time, but actual symptoms that come?

For me it seems to depend on how much I ate. I had some Rice Dream frozen dessert that, after I ate it, I realized had barley malt sweetener in it. Within a few hours I had a nasty, horrible sinus headache. I hadn't had any dairy that day, so I know that wasn't it. The headache lasted all night and this morning was gone. Since the barley malt was only an ingredient int he carob chips in the ice cream, it probably wasn't a whole lot.

But I may wake up tomorrow with horrible constipation, so who knows.

If i ate a piece of bread, I'd be vomiting within an hour, and feeling horrible for a day or two.

Dang. I think if I ate a piece of bread I'd honestly probably die.

What I find perplexing is that if I actually eat a piece of bread, my reaction is only slightly more severe than if I get glutened through CC. Strange.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
