Help! Got Glutened

Is there anything I can eat to get the gluten out of my body faster? Foods that are blood purifiers or something?? Pretty desperate, I HATE this feeling.

My husband and I must do a couple of trade shows a year so we have no choice but to eat out. We bring our own breakfast and lunch but dinner with employees and customers is a must. As careful as we are, there are times when we have been glutened and sometimes at the most upscale restaurants. After having a couple of difficult times, we found that taking a gluten enzme, gluten ease and a probiotic every morning, along with our omega 3, vitamin d3, B complex, b12, zinc and a few others keeps us from getting too glutened. It mights still affect my/our brain with brain fog but the stomach doesn't seem to bother us as much.

Hope this helps.

      Iron loss and potential celiac.

      Yes, it does. And joint pain is another celiac symptom that is now well-recognized.

      Does my iron loss sound like celiac to you?

      Iron loss and potential celiac.

      Being as how you are largely asymptomatic, I would certainly advise undertaking a gluten challenge in order to get formal testing for celiac disease. We have many forum participants who become violently ill when they undertake a gluten challenge and they therefore can't carry through with it. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. The reason I think it...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ThomasA55! Before I give my opinion on your question about whether or not you should undergo a gluten challenge, I would like to know how you react when you get a good dose of gluten? Are you largely asymptomatic or do you experience significant illness such as nausea and diarrhea? You mentioned intermittent joint...

      Being as how you are largely asymptomatic, I would certainly advise undertaking a gluten challenge in order to get formal testing for celiac disease. We have many forum participants who become violently ill when they undertake a gluten challenge and they therefore can't carry through with it. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. The reason I think it is important for you to get tested is that many or most people who don't have a formal diagnosis find it difficult to be consistent with the gluten-free diet. They find ways to rationalize that their symptoms are due to something other than celiac disease . . . especially when it becomes socially limiting.  The other factor here is by being inconsistent with the gluten free diet, assuming you do have celiac disease, you are likely causing slow, incremental damage to your gut, even though you are largely asymptomatic. It can take years for that damage to get to the point where it results in spinoff health problems. Concerning genetic testing, it can't be used for diagnosis, at least not definitively. Somewhere between 30 and 40% of the general population will have one or both of the two genes known to be associated with the development of active celiac disease. Yet, only about 1% of the general population will develop active celiac disease. But the genetic testing can be used as a rule out for celiac disease if you don't have either gene. But even so, that doesn't eliminate the possibility of having NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @ThomasA55! Before I give my opinion on your question about whether or not you should undergo a gluten challenge, I would like to know how you react when you get a good dose of gluten? Are you largely asymptomatic or do you experience significant illness such as nausea and diarrhea? You mentioned intermittent joint pain before you began experimenting with a low gluten diet. Anything else?
