Getting "glutened" For The First Time

I was glutened for the first time since going gluten-free in late January. I ate some shelled sunflower seeds that were produced in a facility with wheat products (ughh.. didn't look closely enough at the label!). Anyway, I felt nauseas the first 12 hours. Then had really bad case of D and bloating. I was so nauseas I could barely breathe and my heart was pounding for a half hour (also have a heart condition). Barely ate that whole day. The next day my lower back and gut were just sore. And today, the fourth day in, my back is still bothering me and every time I eat I feel like I could throw up. How long do your reactions typically last? I am asking on an individual basis since I know everyone reacts differently. Anyone have similar symptoms to mine? Also, can I expect to have a similar reaction in the future when I get glutened?

My symptoms last up to a week. The chemical reaction occurring in your body is somewhat self-sustaining, and can last up to two weeks, but some folks experience symptoms longer than that as their body recovers from the two-week long auto-immune rampage.

I did some baking at work on Saturday, didn't eat any and had a reaction. I had nausea Sunday barely ate and bad headache with swollen eyes. Still today Monday my tummy is "tender", feels like my IBS symptoms. Since going gluten-free the beginning of Jan, I have had reactions that only last a few days. I hear you on the reading the labels better, I am always checking. Good luck and hang in there.

length of time of your symptoms may depend on how much you got glutened I think! Cross contamination that might only have some flour dust on it may affect you differently than eating some actual gluten containing product. And the longer you're gluten free, I think the longer you'll notice the symptoms when it does happen.

I've noticed symptoms anywhere from 2 days to over a week.

GI symptoms, 3-4 days. Muscle pain, exhaustion and weakness, up to 2 weeks :blink:

Good luck getting through it. The two times I've been glutened the problems have lasted for 3 days for simple cross contamination and 6 days from actual gluten product consumption. I'm starting to get to the point where I end up getting frustrated with certain companies for unclear labeling and end up just stop buying their products.

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.

      Are you supplementing any vitamins?  Recently added medications? the ones that helped me the most noticibly was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine, B6 speeds up gastric motility, gastric motility, which is the movement of food through the stomach, is primarily achieved through peristalsis. Moving food faster helps bloating. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline  brain fog, fat digestion.  Since the recommended reduction in red meat and eggs, experts estimate that only 10% of the population eats the minimum RDA., 500 mg.  Choline is a large percentage of bile.  Many Celiacs are first diagnosed as Gall Bladder surgery candidates.  It works for a while, fut the the symptoms come back. Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Low fat yogurt.  My favorite brand is Stonyfield.  Pasture fed means an omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1.  Comercial dairies feed grains and have omega 6:3 ratio  of 5:1.  Omega 3 is healing, omega 6 is inflammatory. No fat yogurts, including greek style has various gums added to replicate the fatty mouth feel, and these gums like guar gum can have several side effects, especially if low vitamin B6 causes poor gastric emptying. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation. The American diet is fortified.  Gluten free foods are not.

      Flour 1to1 Mixes never ending lol

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      This was one I tried w/o issues using gluten-free flour. It gets confusing the 121 cup for cup. Especially the price of it. But I love using the make your own mixes of gluten-free flours potato starch such as this to make it go further https://theloopywhisk.com/2021/09/23/homemade-gluten-free-flour-blend/ Heres a recipe stating 1:1 https://chefalina.com/gluten-free-anisette-toast-cookies/ I want to try these cookies which I miss since going gluten-free as well as the good Italian Holiday cookies I will be missing. I have found good sandwich bread at Whole Foods called 365 which is under $4 for a regular loaf you won't realize its gluten-free or the Promise bread brand. Making your own sandwich bread seems like a bunch that break apart etc. Eventually I will have to try one.
