Hi, I started having diarehha, nausea, and the shakes last Wen. and the symptoms are still persisting. At first I thought it was the flu, then anxiety, and now I'm thinking its a gluten reaction. I have diarehha 24/7 and feel very nausiated. I also have uncontrolable shaking as well. I am not sure if this is anxiety or a gluten reaction and would really appreciate some input. Like, how long does your gluten reaction last. Do you have similar symptoms. I have only been awake for 2 hours and have already used the bathroom 7 times. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Well first off if this has been going on for over four days now you may want to consider seeking medical attention as you are probably dehydrated and you will have lost a lot of essential nutrients if you have been having diarrhea that badly for that long. That being said I am not in the medical profession so that is just my opinion.

When I get glutened I usually take an Imodium AD right away and I usually ok within a day and pretty much back to normal in two or three days. That being said I am not super sensitive (I can take the bun off a burger and eat it or pick croutons off a salad and be fine) so if you are really sensitive you may have a longer reaction time. If you do decide to not get looked at at least drink lots of water and make sure you are getting electrolytes.

You should get to the doctor. Are you a diagnosed celiac? If you are then you may be getting some continued gluten as usually the D doesn't last quite that long when we get glutened. Everyone is different of course. You could have food poisoning and D 24/7 for as long as you have had it should be looked into by a doctor. Hopefully you are staying hydrated but if you can't even keep liquid in your stomach and you are very weak you may want to consider a trip to the ER. Have someone else drive you if you can.

I have been diagnosed with celiacs for a little over two years now. I do also have anxiety issues, but my stomach is really messed up and I could have gotten glutened, but I don't know what from. Except that I ate a Mounds bar on Tuesday. Are those gluten free? I thought they were...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
