How Long Does This Last?

Had to leave work this morning because of being sick to my stomach (frequent trips to the bathroom). I'm a personal trainer at our local Y and I hated to leave, but I had no other option!

The last 3 days have been like this in the morning. The doc says it's a normal adjustment phase I have been gluten free for over 3 weeks.

I just want to know if anyone else had this problem when switching to gluten-free lifestyle & how long does this last?

I am getting frustrated and feeling defeated....

Sounds more to me like you accidentally got glutenized. :blink: Cross contamination? Did you eat out? Hope you feel better soon.

You do have ups and downs but that does sound like a reaction to me. What are you eating in the evening? Do you take medicines or vitamins before bed? What do you drink?

Is it possible you accidentally ate something with gluten? Although I am not very far into being gluten free, maybe since march/april I remember eating gluten by accident several times..in soy sauce, eating french fries from communal fryers, etc.

It sucks but I hope you feel better soon!

I do watch everything I eat very carefully. Last night I had homemade beans and rice with a bit of grilled chicken thigh... I do take a gluten-free multivit at night along with a probiotic. I try not to drink anything besides water at night (alright occasionally I have a glass of wine) but with my stomach problems I'm haven't lately.

My family still eats gluten and I do prepare it for them. I use different pans for my food, I was my hands if I touch gluten...

Could a reaction last for 3 days?

A reaction can last up to weeks for people.

I had gluten by accident on Saturday. Today I still have chills, headache as if I snorted acid, joint pain..and more! OY!!!!

OR you could be going through gluten withdrawal like I did. I felt horrible in the beginning. Frequent bathroom visits--it was TERRIBLE. My gastro symptoms were way worse on the gluten-free diet than they were when I used to eat gluten. And I was always very careful about cross contamination. Finally by around the 3rd month my gastro symptoms were all cleared up. Hang in there. I'm sure it'll get better. I think maybe it took me so long to heal since I suffered for 19 years before having a proper diagnosis.

QueenOfPain,

I had to respond to you. Just based on your user name, I can totally relate to you. I'm glad you're feeling better. Took me a lot time to get diagnosed and to begin getting better as well. We'll just keeping an eye out for hidden gluten. ;)

lol... yeah, I guess my name isn't too fitting anymore, though. Well, I do still suffer from the joint pain, but everything else is sooo much better. Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, too, koolkat222!

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
