When you eat gluten food and then eat non-gluten food do you get nauseated? I was bad and had a hot dog with the bun and fried onion rings last night after workout. brief headache afterwards and some tummy discomfort. I ate a gluten free donut this morning and now feel nauseated and some pain on side of abdomen. Is this normal? Seems like last nights dinner is still sitting there and its fighting with the donut. I haveseen a patern where if i eat gluten and then eat non gluten some time after I get nauseated.

I find that it takes a while for the gluten food to get through my system. Typically, if I eat something I shouldn't for dinner then after lunch the next day it hits me. I don't think it matters what it is that I eat next. This threw me off for years becaues I always blamed what I ate for lunch as the item that made me sick but now I know better, it's the gluten, it just takes longer than you think to get digested. In my body that's how it works at least.

I also find that I probably wasn't that hungry for lunch that day. For me that's a bad sign, could mean that gluten is already planning it's exit.

Hope that helps.

I was "glutened" about 3 weeks ago and I am still experiencing discomfort in my abdomen after I eat. I think inflammation and damage to the villi are reasons why I am in pain, not the food I have eaten since.

Since I first went gluten-free I have never purposefully eaten anything that contains gluten, so I do not really know what happens when I eat a gluten food and then a non-gluten food like a donut. If I get glutened I make sure I eat easy to digest foods, since I'll have a stomachache anyways. But I know of no reason why gluten and non-gluten food would react to each other and cause someone discomfort. I would think the discomfort is caused by the damage that has been done and is being done.

I've always seen a delay in symptoms as I think the food gets pushed thru your body everytime you eat something. I might even see a good-day where I feel fine followed-up by the bloating / pains / brain-fog / big-D. I also agree that the inflamation lingers even though you are eating gluten-free. It just takes a while for your body to process the offending foods thru your systems and restore itself.

Best of Luck!

If I get glutened, I get the neurological symptoms almost right away--within an hour--headache, usually, and lethargy.

The digestive symptoms happen the next day. There's always a delay. Before, when I was "testing" myself with a gluten challenge, if I ate a piece of bread, I'd get nauseated within a couple of hours and throw up. But if the gluten is sneaky, like barley malt sweetener, it hits much later, the next day.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
