Sudden Onset Of Symptoms

At the beginning of the year I was hit with bad bloating and pain in my bowels whenever I ate bread. I lost about 20 pounds in two months. My doc thought it was IBS, but tested for celiac. One of the tests was mildly elevated. Sent to GI, after endoscopy,villi were mildly blunted. He tested my blood again, almost same scores as the first time a month earlier, so he diagnosed my with celiac. Have gone gluten free for 3 months now and I have progressively gotten better (gained about 10 lbs. back, no more bloating, but not feeling 100% yet, but definite improvement, I'm not tired all day).

Most posts I've read seem people had mild symptoms for years, but for me it went from I was feeling well one day to I thought I was dying. Has anyone else had a similar rapid onset of symptoms?

Yes, symptoms can vary from person to person.

I have had (dx) with IBS or Colitis for most of my adult like. Although uncomfortable at times, it was manageable.

One Tuesday, I had sudden bathroom issues and two months later, I could briefly leave the house, after a diagnosis of something called Celiac Disease

My issues (although not diagnosed yet) were very sudden in the beginning. I had 4 weeks of diarreah and went from 102 lbs to 92 lbs within that 4 week time frame. I was down to eating rice, applesauce and ensure by the time they decided to get serious about testing me for things. After that I had intermittent diah....then after about 3 years it switched to const. with days or diahh all day. so I agree that it could be sudden or gradual depending on your diet, stage of the disease, lifestyle etc etc etc.

I had a sudden onset of lactose intolerance. I used to work in an office building with a cafeteria. I ate their frozen yogurt several times a week. I got a kind of cold/bug thing that made my joints hurt and my neck stiff or a 4 or 5 days. The next time I ate the frozen yogurt I had the usual GI problems. So, yes, that symptom was sudden. I'd always been fine with dairy and cheese until the bug. The bug got me. Or that's what I always figured.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
