Accidentally Ate Ton's Of Gluten

Hello,

While traveling in India I accidentally had two meals that were almost exclusively wheat. This was 4 months ago. I seemed all right at the time but since two months ago I have been extremely constipated and my guts have been full of gas. I altered my diet to 2/3rds raw foods at the same time the symptoms showed up, but I am wondering if the constipation/gas could have something to do with my gluten mistake.

Thank you,

Alex H

I'd say it has to do with that and the raw diet change. Veggies can be harsh!

I second Turtle. I made the mistake once (when I had an unknown candida overgrowth and was trying to eat healthy) of eating rabbit food (carrots, celery, etc.) and magnified the problem 1000 times.

Raw diet is almost certainly causing your problems, not gluten that you ate 4 months ago.

It would make sense to me that if you caused damage and inflammation by eating gluten that you may not be able to digest the raw veggies for awhile. But four months? Maybe you are reacting to one of the vegetables you are eating. A lot of people on here are allergic to carrots and celery like I am.

Take care,

Raw veggies are really hard on me. Steamed veggies calm my stomach. Try them that way. I hope you feel better

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
