Worst Every Time When Glutened...

Hi!

I have been gluten-free for about 2 years and I was very very strict for the first one and never took any risks of getting glutened. But now I try to be careful but I have had a couple of accidents. And everytime the symptoms are more violent. I thought and I had heard from some other celiacs that after recovery symptoms would actually decrease... Is your body also reacting more even after being gluten-free for a while? Or is it less? Thanks for you help. :)

Well I've only been gluten-free for six months, but I can say for sure my symptoms are more severe now. I never had bad gastro symptoms before going gluten free, just bloating and gas. My symptoms were mostly neuro. Now I get violent stomach pains and bloody D a few days after being glutened as well as the neuro symptoms (headaches, shaky hands, fatigue, brain fog, muscle spasms, and joint pain). I'm also much more sensitive to cc than I was in the beginning.

Over 8 years gluten free, still react violently to gluten. Will not touch gluten on purpose.

I have been gluten-free for over 4 years. I am very sensitive to any gluten or cross-contamination. For me, the symptoms of getting glutened get worse and worse over time. I figure it's because my body has finally gotten rid of what it basically sees as a poison. So when it does get glutened again, it's a pretty bad and kind of long reaction.

My gluten by accident symptoms got worse also. I am eight years in and a good glutening now leads to a 3 days mild GI bleed. Something that didn't happen at all before I was diagnosed.

Have been gluten-free for 6 months now and I notice that if I am glutened the symptoms are worse every time. I am very careful and stick to what I now is safe and when it happens I have only had 1 new thing (note to self, stay away from that) It also seems to take longer to recover from the episodes. Not sure if it is related but this time not only have I had the "brain fog" bad but severe stomach pain on my right side, bloating, gas, nausea, both bathroom issues and a SEVERE PANIC ATTACK. It lasted the whole day and left me completely drained.

I do appreciate this site as I read the posts I realize that I am not alone. Thank you everyone. :-)

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited
