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. ;)

QueenOfPain Rookie

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!

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
