Excuse The Graphic Question But I Really Want To Know!

I skipped breakfast and ate what I THOUGHT to be a safe lunch. 30 minutes after eating I have explosive (you can guess the graphic insert here), along with belching and some mild discomfort. I guess my question is this: Is it possible to have a reaction THAT fast? Or is it from something I ate yesterday? Needless to say it ruined ALL my plans for the first beautiful day all winter.:-( I don't dare leave this house. I'm so bummed...

Yep, I react within 20 minutes just like how you explained.

That happened to me last night and the day before after eating what I KNOW is a safe meal. I made it myself and it was simple meats and vegetables. So I have no idea. I feel like my body has gone haywire since going gluten free a month ago. Some things are better but some are not, and a few instances have been worse. I wish I knew what was going on, but I don't. All I can do is hope that it's part of the healing process.

It sure can!!

I've been gluten free for years... and just recently, I've been reacting to everything it seems! I've cut myself back to only fresh foods... mainly lean meats, fruits and veggies. I'm wondering if my body isn't finally rebelling against all the carbs and grains (albeit gluten free ones) I am totally addicted to!! I'm taking a break from them for a while and have noticed improvement already!

I know with me it can happen withen 15 min. after eating something. It is good and it isn't nice. I would trade you the explosive (insert visual here) for what I get. I have a reaction for 4+ hours of none stop crying and feeling as though someone is in my gut trying to rearrange myinsides by stabbing me. Luckely, my mom has found these dietary pills on line that reduces the time of my reactions when I have them. My gastroenterologist doesn't approve of them because she has never heard of them before but as far as I'm conserned if it works i'm going to use it!

My body went haywire for several months, calmed down, and then...well, I backslid. And the past two months, even though I'm back to be completely gluten free, it's still a little bit "off"--including what you're describing. I've figured out that, for me, this is how my body makes certain that it's no longer toxic. It's annoying, but it's its healing process.

Any possibility of cross contamination from a serving/cooking utensil or pan, maybe a countertop or silverware drawer or spoon rest?

I know I've been trying to do this gluten free thing as best I can, but I haven't had the chance to go and de-gluten anything in my kitchen or scrub my stove top or countertop or clean out my silverware drawer. I've been using a lot of tin foil and paper towels to keep my food gluten free, and washing a lot of stuff right before I use it.

Thanks for the input everyone. I guess there is the possibility I cross contaminated myself somehow. My daughter eats a PB & J everyday on normal bread. I'm careful, but who knows! I'm ok now.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
