Glutenation

[The Glutenator]

I am wondering what your symptoms are when you get glutenated and how long they last. I ate salad dressing accidentally and actually went #2 in my pants the next day. After cross contamination I usually have bloating, lower back pain, head aches, and increased bathroom trips for almost a week. Are these symptoms common? My symptoms of being glutenated are also getting worse the longer I have been gluten-free...is that common?

For me when I get glutened my stomach will start to rumble about an hour after and then I know. I bloat and my feet and hands swell and I also make more bathroom trips for about aweek sometimes 2 weeks and I do get the headaches and become more irritable. I am like you, mine are getting worse the longer I am gluten free.

Been cross contaminated twice and glutened bad once.

Once we learn all the safety from the people on here we will be pro's too

Joint pain, stomach pain, bloating, tons of burping, and of course the bathroom visits. I'm back to normal in 24 hours, with the exception of the joint pain- it lingers.

Sorry for Hi-Jacking this thread, but the Thread Name caught my attention.

I've seen the word Glutenated, Glutened, Glutenation, and the last one I found in an obscure dictionary 'Glutard' and 'Glutarded'.

Anyone any ideas which one is correct, or is it just a matter of usage and there is NO official word to describe having ingested gluten (glutened ..my choice of word) or when someone is fed gluten in a restaurant by accident (I was Glutened.. My choice of word)

If someone knew of any specific word being used say in a medical context or in a dictionary, I'd really appreciate you letting me know, so I can pass it on! This has been a point of discussion on a UK Board.

Many Thanks and once again sorry for the Hi-Jack.

Best Regards,

David

Thanks for all your information. As for terminology, I just find that "glutenated" rolls off the tongue well. I mean, its an awful experience for us so mind as well have fun at least naming the bad experience.
