Help! Going Through The Big D

So I figured out I got glutened by Rolaids Soft Chews. I stopped taking them on Sat Night, and by Monday, I was fine. I just felt terrible and had frequent D.

This am I got my H1N1 nasal spray. I was fine til lunch, when I had a salad from the salad bar at Whole Foods. Lettuce, beets, chicken, radishes and red quinoa with gluten-free balsamic vinagarette (I read the label). The quinoa is the only thing that I haven't had before. There were no gluten ingredients on the salad bar at all.

About an hour after lunch, the D started. This is the worst D I have ever had. It is every 5 minutes and I havent made it a few times :( Prior to going gluten-free, I always had C, never D.

So my questions are: is this left over from the Rolaids, a new glutening, or a result of the flu innoculation? Do antidiarheal pills help, or just time?

Thanks for your help. This stinks :(

<snort> on the thread title--I'm a big Mark Chestnutt fan :P

Could be any of those things, honestly. The salad bar could have had some CC going on--that would be my first guess, and you may not have fully healed from the last glutening. Truthfully, I use Immodium in a case like this. It calms things down and stops the D--I always keep a box in the house and some in my purse.

Hope you feel better soon :)

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
