Order Of Reaction Symptoms?

So I got glutened last night. Boo. The last time I got glutened, it started with D and stomach cramps, and then the sinus migraine/ear pain followed by the headache and generally-low energy and moodiness.

Last night, it started with the ear pain first, then the headache and energy/mood issues, and then a sore stomach with no D.

What gives? Is it normal for your symptoms to jump around like that? Could they change order every time I get hit?

It is different for me everytime. Mostly though it involves the bad headache bloating and bad joint pain and edema in my lower legs and "d", but its always different and changing up on me...and i get so cranky i can't stand myself. and the time it takes me to get back to a good place usually is differnt. I think it depends on how much got ingested and what kind of reaction i had to what. For instance if i happen to accidently ingest soy i pretty much will sleep for the day, it just wipes me out.If its wheat then i have all the above symptoms sometimes more sometimes less. I think there are so many different effects on our bodies that really multiple symptoms in any order can occur. I hope you are feeling better soon and get back in a "good" place:)

Mine always used to involve a nasty migraine (sometimes with delayed onset of several hours) with 2-3 days of C (plus bloating and cramping) followed by a couple days of D. I took a bad hit a couple of weeks ago- usually my hits are CC but I think this one was accidental full-on ingestion, as I was in a foreign country and there was a major language barrier. It wasn't food poisoning as it hit too quickly, plus my husband and I were sharing dishes and he was fine. That one brought on a milder immediate headache accompanied with dry heaving, plus I was up all night with D (to the point where i was wondering what I would do if I had to deal with a Japanese emergency room). I was absolutely exhausted and unwell for a couple of days after that and had GI problems for about a week, but the headache went quickly and I never had C.

So yes, symptoms can jump around.

Thank you both for the input. I'm still really new to all of this, and every time something seems different, I get confused. I guess I should be focusing less on the order of the symptoms and more on the symptoms themselves.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
