D Starting Up After 1.5 Yrs Of Being gluten-free?

Ok so I've been gluten-free for a year and a half and overall have been doing really well. But the other day, about 36 hours after taking 2 grams of L-Glutamine, I started to get a pounding headache, stomach ache, chills, and minor fever. I've also been really tired - although that's not really anything new. I'm positive no gluten has snuck in.

But anyway since then IBS has come back to me in full force. I have had really loose, watery BMs - about 2 - 4 a day. Animal protein also does not seem to sit well.

I'm thinking it's either a stomach bug passing through my system, an overdose on Glutamine, or something else.

At the same time though - I don't think it's a bug because D and low energy levels are my only real main symptoms. And I doubt it's a Glutamine overdose because I usually only take 2 grams a week.

Any ideas? I'm afraid it's something more serious like Crohn's or Colitis.

The first thing you need to do is to get to a doctor and have stool testing done. You may have picked up salmonella or something else and that needs to be ruled out. I had a time when I thought my IBS had gotten worse, not diagnosed yet at that time. I went to the doctor and she said it was a tummy bug and dismissed me. It continued and I went back and demanded stool testing. She was reluctant but complied. 2 days later I got a very apologetic phone call, it turned out I did have salmonella.

Ravenwood where have you been!? Geesh took you long enough to respond..

Haha just kiddinggg..

But I went to the Doc today and I think I'll be alright - I think it just needs to pass it's course, IDK why I was freaking out. But I appreciate the response - talk soon.

I'm glad things have overall been going well for you. With the chills, slight fever and headache at the onset it does sound like it was some sort of bug that got you. Make sure you cook your 4th of July burger to at least 165 degrees. LOL

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
