Does The Reaction Get Worse Over Time

I got glutened about two weeks ago now. When I first was diagnosed the gluten reaction would last 2-3 days. Now it seems to be lasting over a week. Is this normal? I had such bad depression a week later. It was just like the depression I got right after I was glutened in the past. I was really careful so I know I wasn't reglutened. Does it normally get longer over time? If it does this is just going to be even more awful.

Also do people drink soda/pop from dispensing machines? I'm pretty sure this is how I got glutened. I don't know if it was the pop or the glass or what. Can plastic have gluten in it? Thanks.

I have definitely found the reaction gets worse with time. When I get glutinated now, the symptoms can be much more severe and last longer. Bummer! Though I haven't had a problem with pop machines, so maybe look for another source? Or if you are worried, consider wiping the can with alcohol (or hand sanitizer if you have it) and rinsing before having the drink.

Thanks for the info. It wasn't a pop machine that dispenses cans, it was a fountain drink dispenser. (couldn't think of the better name last time I posted.)

If the machine had a soda that contained gluten running in it, it could contaminate your drink. The glass, especially if it was plastic could be contaminated from being in contact with something with gluten. Was the pop you were drinking gluten free? I know some orange and root beers are not gluten free. I'd get sick if glutened root beer had been just dispensed right before I filled my glass.

Before going gluten free I felt terrible all the time with spikes of horrible gluten poisoning. I never felt good enough to know when it really ended. Being gluten free I feel better and I know how well I can feel. I think when I am glutened now, it is worse because I compare it to how well I felt gluten free. So yes, if you get glutened you will feel awful. Worse? Probably.

Just a thought. Corn syrup also could be making you sick. Have you kept a food diary?

At first it seemed like my reactions were getting worse as I seemed to get sensitive to lower levels of gluten. Now, after 2.5 years, my reactions are getting much better. I'm not sure how much it has to do with my figuring out how to eat, but I get over the worst of my symptoms in a day now. It is so much better than lying in bed wishing I could die for a week!

This is an older Topic but I have not learned how to use this forum just yet. I've noticed that I have reactions from Dr. Pepper when it's from the fountain machine at Circle K and from Barro's Pizza (I didn't there but my friends picked me up a Dr. Pepper at lunch). My reactions consist of my tummy painfully expanding and the feeling of not being able to take a deep breath. The feeling of not being able to breath right while having a conversation just like when I've had gluten.

They have the one size for 79cents but the lids are so hard to get out that you end up grabbing 5 at a time just to pull one lid out. I glance over at the hot dog machine and only imagine who got a hot dog first or who was eating chips etc. then touched all the lids in the front including the one I'm about to pick. I try to pull out 3, discard, then pull out 3 more and pick the center one. I don't think it works though because they all look like they've been smudged on the side from fingers. YUCK!

I just don't want it to be the Dr. Pepper itself because I'm addicted big time! Anyone have this problem?

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
