I've had bad luck with CC lately and my stomach has been all over the place since. I was finally better yesterday, eating very lightly and unprocessed foods, and decided to have a couple tator tots with dinner last night. This had my stomach and diarrhea going all night, and all cramps this morning. Is this normal?

Unfortunately, yes :( I get all weird for about a week after CC from a GI standpoint,then fatigue for longer. It's best to stick with whole, unprocessed foods after an episode. I've also had it come in waves- better for a day, worse for a day. I also have had old secondary intolerances come back after a glutening- especially dairy and nightshades.

I too can't have dairy and don't have it. How can you tell if you got gluten in you again, or if it's a relapse? I also feel really sick, like glutened again, and extremely dehydrated although I've been drinking water for 2 hours straight - is that normal too? I'm so confused!

where'd you get the tater tots? Were they frozen, or from a fast food place?

Either way, they were likely fried in the same fryer as breaded foods like chicken fingers or something.

Have a real potato instead.

They were frozen, but I guess I just can't do anything slightly processed while healing. It's such a hard time knowing when your better enough to eat things you used to.

I've decided as I keep getting sick that I will go right back to the basic diet of brown rice, and start incorporating new foods one at a time. Right now I can't tell if somehow gluten is getting in me, or if it's from eating something that I'm too sensitive for. I'm 3 years gluten free but never been so sick, and can't figure it out!

There is a stomache virus going around. I thought I got glutened and then my kids both came down with it.

      Click on the image to make it larger.  Maybe doesn't work on phone browser,  That was from 2021. Absolutely, they should be tested, The point is you have symptoms that the doctors don't understand and malabsorption may be the cause.   Not trying to.  But much of your rant includes refeferences that may indicate multiple nutritional deficiencies.     Some countries also have tax incentives and financial aid for Celiacs.   Celiac disease is recognized as a disability under the ADA because it substantially limits major life activities like eating and digestive function. Protections require reasonable accommodations in public accommodations, including schools (504 plans), colleges, and hospitals. These often include providing safe, gluten-free food, though they do not force restaurants to provide it.  As far as your recovery, eat gluten free.  Get healthier now and worry about diagnosis later.  Many here on the forum have gone ten or more years looking for a diagnosis, with many doctors and many misdiagnosis along the way. It really doesn't matter why, but you cannot eat  gluten.  That is what is important.  With gluten out of the way, maybe the doctors can make sense of your remaining symptoms.  If you need the ADA, then a medical diagnosis is the way to go.  Meantime you are delaying your recovery from whichever celiac disease or NCGS and the inevitable step one of Gluten Free Diet. tWe come to share experiences and maybe it will help someone. In reality, I don't care.  By the way I have stopped 6 medications Against Medical Advice because they did not do their job and the side effects were crippling. This is a lifelong fight for your life.  Pick you battles carefully.  Assume the worst, celiac disease, and deal with it.  Denial is not just a river in Egypt. Pleased to meet you, too.
