Hi i am not sure what the problem is....

I have celiac disease and have been gluten free for about 1.5 years. I went out for dinner at someones house and they said the curry we ate didn't have gluten in it. About a day later i started feeling sick...nausea, stomach cramps, passing bowel motions 3 times a day (not normal for me). I don't know if i have been glutened or not as i just usually get a headache when i have been. Maybe its coinceidence and ive picked up a bug.

The problem is i have no appetite now and feel like vomiting everytime i eat. I am concerned cos im already extremely underweight.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Well, I'd certainly suspect something at your friend's house but, if the nausea and inability to eat normally continues, I would consult my doctor. Could be a bug; could be you are more sensitive now? Others will post.

Feel better,

Hello

I have Celiacs too and have been gluten free for three weeks. I accidently got glutened yesterday for the first time since going gluten free and I could not beleive what happened. I started out with a headache that gradually got worse throughout the day and by the time I went to bed last night was a full blown migraine and I was quite sick to my stomach and was pretty bad. The kicker was I was making regular mac and cheese for the kids and not even thinking scooped up the last bite in the bowl and ate it before thinking WHOOOPS. Earlier in the day I had a very small bowl of Frosted Flakes before seeing that it had malt in it- a NO NO for gluten-free. My point is the chance that the curry at your friends house or possible any other very minor thing could have triggered you. It could also be the touch of a bug as you stated :( tis the season. I guess I learned yesterday that the smallest thing can make you very sick and it can come out in very different ways (like I didnt really have the cramps or D from being glutened yesterday but had the wicked headache ending in a migraine). You have been gluten-free for 1.5 years and I my guess is your body is now so sensitive to gluten that a small amount will set you up for being ill. I hope today finds you feeling better! :)

Isn't curry spicy? It could be that...I have to be very careful with spicy foods now...tends to run right through me if I've not made it homemade (like salsa, etc)

I think it depends on how sick you were with Celiac, and how much gluten you were imbibing previously. (Before diagnosis). Here was my reaction recently......

I am fairly new to these boards, and was diagnosed a month ago (after being sick for 6 years). I was doing fine on the gluten-free mode, until I went to my-in-laws in another city. They KNOW I have Celiac and had presented chili with muffins for dinner. Of course, no muffin for me. However, I ate the chili. OMG. The next day I was completely worthless, and was in the bathroom the enitre first part of the day. I was weak and achy for 4 days after that. I finally asked them, ?Did you put any kind of grain in the chili?". Reply, "oh just a 1/2 cup of flour". WHAT???????!!!!!!!!!!! I might add I have "beaten" an end-stage pituitary tumor 2 1/2 years ago, with 2 horrific surgeries, etc. So, my point is I have been through a lot physically. Part of my amazing recovery was adhering to an organic, vegetable based diet, and organic fish and dairy, I might add.

My father-in-law thinks that food sensitivites are in the same category as emotional "illnesses" He said that in "his day" people ate what was prepared. Needless to say, I went to the grocery store myself and purchased food to prepare for everyone.

Arghhhhh!

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

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

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
