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. :-)

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
