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.

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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
