I'm Not Really Sure What Is Wrong.

Ok, I posted a post a couple days ago saying I was going to eat gluten again so I can get tested. I did NOT eat gluten, but I still wonder if I really have a problem with it. My only symptoms when I was eating gluten was bad pain in my intestine and nausea. Ever since I have been off the gluten I have had a lot of headaches, fatigue, and lack of energy which I NEVER had before I stopped eating it. When I would go to the doctors they could never figure out what was wrong. I was on a 2 week completely milk free diet and I even took prescribed antacids, but nothing worked. I stopped eating gluten in June 2008 and I did feel a lot better, but of course that meant I stopped eating greasy fried processed foods. I remember before I ever went gluten free I would eat Subway and it never made me sick. Then back in April 2009 I ate the gluten again and I was symptom free until I ate greasy and fried chicken at Friendly's. I got sick when I ate Friendly's, but it went away after 2 hours or less. Based on the symptoms I had when I was eating gluten does it sound like I could have gluten intolerance or does it sound like maybe I just had a big problem eating greasy and processed foods? Even now when I eat greasy hamburgers and french fries I get sick in my intestine area and get nauseated, but it's not as bad as it used to be because I don't eat it as much. Any help on what I should do would be appreciated.

Hi Wolicki. Nope, I don't believe I have ever had my gallbladder checked. Maybe I should though because gall stones do run in the family.

Tomorrow I am going to start eating gluten, but I am only going to eat the organic gluten filled foods except some Christmas Tree snack cakes. I am going to avoid all fried and greasy foods. I actually get hungry when I think about eating gluten, but when I think about eating gluten-free foods I lose my appetite. Please wish me luck everyone! I'll keep you all posted.

I had very similar symptoms when I had gallstones. Foods that really bothered me: pizza, peanut butter, mozzarella cheese, fried foods. Might want to check!

I'll def get it checked. Well this morning I had a gluten filled Christmas Tree snack cake and a little while after I felt sick, but even when I was eating gluten free food I have felt worse. Then at about 12:00 p.m I hate some food which consisted of a chicken wrap with tortilla chips. I felt better after I ate, so I'm thinking I just got hungry since I felt better after I ate lunch. I kind of forgot that I didn't eat that much yesterday.

Another update: Yesterday I ate 1 Christmas Tree snack cake, some naturally gluten free sour cream with a chicken wrap and tortilla chips, a bowl of vegetable barley soup, and a slice of real bread. Then today I ate almost 2 organic toaster pastries. I am actually feeling A LOT better both physically and mentally than I was when I was eating gluten free. I'm actually hungry and I am in no pain and I'm not nauseated, but when I was eating gluten free food I was still in pain and nauseated. I'm also eating more at once than I was when I was gluten-free. Weird, huh? Fingers crossed that I can eat gluten. For lunch today I'm going to have some organic Amy's frozen mac and cheese, but of course the gluten filled kind. Then for dinner I'm going to eat Subway.

Hi everyone. Well, I have been eating gluten for 3 weeks with NO symptoms. I'm feeling so much better and happier. So it looks like I don't have a problem with gluten. I wish you all the best of luck with everything and happy holidays. :D:)

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
