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.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
