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

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
