Glutned Reaction Time

When you are glutened is it possible to have D within 10-15 minutes of eating something with gluten in it? I ate some white rice from a Casino Resturant after talking to the head chef who assured me it was fine.

15 minutes later.....D. I am going on a year of being on the gluten free diet and I still feel nothing like my old self. I know I have made some slip ups and I wonder if these slip ups are keeping me from fully healing.

I'm so tired and frustrated with this. I live at home with others that don't have to worry and I don't even really think they care that I probably am get poisoned still. Others say it can take time. I'm up and around more but I still can't exert my self physically without feeling like im going to pass out. If I do alot of things then I am hurting for the next day.

Gastro checked for other ANa antibodies and said they were fine so no other autom immune problems. Just at my wits end here. Stool returned to almost normal just kind of greasy at times but not having globs of mucus on it. ( sorry so graphic guys). Thanks for your replys in advance, Ted.

Hi

well if i get glutened i can assure you that I will know within hours of contamination.

The epigastric pains starts and last all night...then the next day I know exactly where that gluten is in my body.....follow the pain track all the way down the gi track until EXIT..the I'm ok. I dont always get diarrhea but i get soft stool with undigested foods.....

it could take a couple of days to feel better again

I don't really react quite that fast to gluten. More like an hour or more. But dairy gets me very quickly.

From reading your post I have a couple of thoughts. First you should feel better than you do by now. And second you probably need to be more assertive about your health to heal and feel well.

The reason for you feeling so weak can be as simple as vitamin defiency. Since you described mucous in your stool, that sounds like a leaky gut. You can have very low levels of nutrients when that happens. This can make anyone feel weak. Your dr can check your levels but you can go ahead and supplement right now and see if you get relief. A good multivitamin is a start, a B complex also but you probably need sublingual B12 (methyl kind), magnesium, calcium, D3 and fish oil.

Also you brought up cross contamination. Yes, this can set you back and repeately getting contaminated is not helping you heal. It would be nice if your housemates helped but understand that they will never get this disease the way you do. They simply can't. Did you get it before you were diagnosed? I didn't and I had a good friend with it. So you need to be in control of your dishes, cooking utensils and food prep. Put all of your things in boxes if you have to but protect yourself. Of course, having a talk with your housemates can be helpful but in the end, you alone are responsible for you.

One other thing to consider is that you might be sensitive to other foods and that could be why you still feel poorly. You may need to back off to very simple foods and start over to identify the problem. An elimination diet can help. Some people go on the SCD diet to begin with. There is a very long thread about that diet on the forum that can help you, if you wish.

This is probably enough for you to think about for now. Does any of this ring a bell with you? I hope you can find some relief soon.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
