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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
