I Was Careless...

Okay today i made calzones for my husband and I for dinner. I usually make dinner and on nights that he works i drive up to the fire station and eat with him. Today i made them and i took them up there. about ten minutes after we ate i began feeling stomach cramps. at first i thought maybe its just a bit of gas...then i got really tired so i told him i wanted to sit. as soon as i sat down it got worse so i told him i needed to leave earlier than i normally do. he asked if it was gluten and i told him i didnt think so because it started so quickly after i ate. nevertheless, when i got home i looked through my ingredients. i checked the pizza sauce and the cheese but nothing looked questionable. then i remembered that a few weeks back i had bought a small bag of wheat flour while my sister was visitng (she doesnt like gluten free :lol: ) so i looked at my bags of gluten free flours to see if they had gotten contaminated. upon opening the bag i thought had been brown rice flour, i smelled at and no way was that rice flour. whats really is when i used it earlier i looked at it and smelled it to make sure because i hadnt labeled either bags of flour, and when i looked at it looked exactly like brown rice flour. butmy nose must have been stuffy or something because it smells like wheat now!!

anyone ever done anything like this? ive been kicking myself since i got home because i am almost three years gluten free and should know better!

also, has anyone ever been glutened and gotten sick with five to ten minutes of a meal? it was like my stomach didnt even try to digest it, it was so fast!

Some people get immediate reactions, some don't.

I can sometimes tell within 5 minutes of eating. I start burping and my stomach may make noices and I feel nauseous.

Sorry about your mix-up and hope you feel better soon.

My personal experience is that the longer you are gluten free, the more sensitive you become to just a minute amount of gluten. I used to use makeup that contained wheat protein and never broke out at all-I never even thought about wheat being in makeup. I just happened to buy a makeup a few months ago that was gluten free. Just the other night I was invited to a mary kay party and we tried on some makeup. I decided to buy the concealer because i loved it so much. The next morning I put on the concealer and went on my way, but by 6 pm that night my face broke out with so many little bumps and my face started feeling like it was "burning". so i hurried up and took my makeup off and tried to figure out anything different I had tried. All I could come up with was the concealer. So I found the package and low and behold, in the middle of the ingredient list was the wheat protein. I had been mostly gluten free for 2 years-except the hidden things and cross contamination so I didn't react as harshly as I am now.

Hopefully someone else will chime in-I react but it usually takes me a few days for it to get into my system.

thanks for that. i never thought about becoming more sensitive. that makes sense though!!! i guess it is easy to feel so confident that you slip up. it certainly doesnt happen very often

i wont be doing this again. well not like this anyways..

I'm sorry about getting glutened. I am just getting over two back-to-back glutenings. The first happened at a restaurant and I didn't feel it until the next morning. The second one happened due to using a cast iron skillet that was previously used for gluten containing food and I felt it before I was even done with my meal, so less than half an hour. I think it may depend on your sensitivity level and the amount of gluten consumed. I know I am more sensitive now than I was before because of going on again off again gluten free due to testing for Celiac. I hope you feel better soon.

well if it makes you feel better i was using kellogs corn flake crumbs for 8 months before i realized it had malt in it, i had been making a meat loaf with it all the time at school and wondered why i was getting sick all the time.

i also kept using heinz 57 steak sauce that i didnt realize had malt vinegar in it. when i went gluten-free i think i had assumed those were gluten-free and never checked.

thanks for the encouragement all! i am feeling it so much better. i went through the worst of last night. the D and then fatigue and fogginess. then cramps...like even my legs and arms. i told my sister who is also Celiac and she has gotten sick that fast too. her i laws made beer chicken and didnt let her know. they pretend its all in her head so when she asked about ingredients thye lied to her. it makes me so sad that people do that...

and i used kellogs flakes for a long time before i caught on too! back when i was first diagnosed i thought malt was okay... three years later though and im good about reading labels. i have been kicking myself today though. that was a big mistake!

i will be blatantly honest, i would kick their butt (going to stay pg here but i am thinking more pg 13 or rin my head). if some one knowingly glutened me they would learn real fast to never think about it again

are you identical twins or fraternal ?

if she identical she probably just doesnt have noticeable symptoms or hasnt triggered it yet, heck even if she is fraternal i would be she falls in that category

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
