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!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped".

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
