I am 3 mos. post-diag and doing phenomenally well. My wife cooks 100% gluten-free with marvelous tasting recipes and I have never had the urge to cheat on my diet. My diarrhea has been completely elminated (no pun intented) except after 2 or 3 accidental, 'learning-curve' ingestions. Yesterday, following a normal, complete morning BM, I had lunch at a Red Lobster, after telling the GM about celiac disease and the need for the broiled lobster chops to be segregated (no dustings, fresh tongs, etc.) He agreed to convey the info to the chef and we had a good discussion about the benefit to his restaurant to offer a celiac disease menu and post it on the net. It was a great lunch but about 30 minutes after the end of the meal I had an attack of severe, 100% watery diarrhea, the worst since my diagnosis.

I had no breakfast in the a.m. and no contamination the day before. Could contamination at lunch caused such a severe bout of diarrhea that quickly?

Yep that could have been from the lunch. I get reactions right away and then they last for 2 weeks. Everyone varies with reaction times though. Some have long reactions while some don't get sick at all.

Looks like they might have had something in the meal that contaminated you. Even though the food may have been gluten free, they may have cross contaminated.

I'm sorry to hear you are sick now...feel better soon

Hi!

Sounds like lunch is the culprit. I usually react with diahrrea within 30 minutes of ingesting even trace amounts of gluten.

Hope you feel better soon!

Sometimes I react by the end of a meal or even during it. Other times it takes days!

I don't get intestinal symptoms that quickly, but I'm not very symptomatic. I feel the effects (disorientation/dizziness) within 15-30 minutes, bourbourygmi (intestinal noises) within about 4-6 hours, and stool changes (not terribly severe) within 12 hours.

I get a reaction any where from 30 minutes to 2 days later....never any rhyme or reason to it. I can get sick from just one reaction all the way up to 6 weeks later.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @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.
