Hello~ I went gluten-free a little over 2 months ago. I literally went gluten-free with everything! Maybe exposed to gluten 2-3 times in the beginning. About 2 days ago I started to feel achy and nauseous. Those symptoms are gone, but my stomach feels "odd". It feels tender and hurts if I push on it. I originally went on a gluten-free diet for neurological reasons, headaches, and BM irregularities, so I wasn't necessary sick from gluten. The achiness and nauseous feeling could totally be a bug, but what's with the odd stomach feeling is what I'm concerned about? Could it be possible that I was exposed to gluten and now my body responds to it more negatively since I've been gluten-free for over two months?

Could be gas, could be constipation; if it's on the right side, it could be appendicitis, but after 2 days you'd presumably know by now. You might want to try the Mayo Clinic's symptom checker: Open Original Shared Link

An awful lot of us are casein intolerant; you may want to try giving up dairy at least temporarily. And to answer your last question, yes, nearly everybody says their symptoms from a glutening get worse the longer they're gluten-free.

I've only been gluten-free for the same length of time, and I have found that I actually got sicker. There have been numerous food allergies and other aliments that have shown themselves since then. It's hard to say if you accidentially got into gluten or if something else is showing up.

There are some real pros that have been kind enough to help me through these rough spots and I believe they will be around here soon to help you out. Hang in there.

You could be getting sneaky gluten from a source you felt was safe or maybe it's another sensitivity. A food journal can help narrow it down. It sounds a lot like I felt when I tried a new tea this winter. It took me awhile to figure that one out but I felt SO much better when I threw it out.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
