My Description.

I finally found an accurate way to describe how my gut feels after a glutening. I compare it to shredded beef or pulled pork. It actually feels like someone is shredding the lining of my stomach by hand. It feels as though this imaginary person intends on making my innards into a meal for others.

That is how the gut feels. I don't know of a way to describe my other symptoms in a way that would accurately convey how absolutely horrible it makes me feel. The extreme exhaustion, and inability to have the energy to get out of bed, even to pee. Or the depression. The brain fog and lack of focus. There's no ability to even focus on something for 30 seconds.

Just wanted to share the shredded beef stomach feeling. That really captures the exact sensation in my lower gut.

graphic but so true. I feel like someone is twisting a sharp knife in circles.

Yep. I find it confusing because the "shredding" almost feels like hunger at times...except there's nausea in there as well. It was how I knew I got glutened at my in-laws' house last night. Grrr...

I feel more like my stomach acid is trying to burn its way through my abdominal wall, but I totally hear you. It's awful. I described "pooping that makes you want to cry, 9 times in 24 hours" to some friends and they didn't quite grasp the concept.

I feel so bad yet so happy that I'm not alone. This is exactly how it feels. Nausea and all. Celiac disease should be some sort of Corporal punishment for hardend criminals.

That sounds genuinely horrible. I don't have issues with acid, due to nexium. No D either. But constipation imported directly from hell. I'll leave it at that.

I get acid and plenty of good, old-fashioned D. SO MUCH. It's incredible. Sometimes I wonder if I actually ate that much.

Then there are times like today, where you're feeling just ever so slightly better. However, you are afraid to eat anything at all. That fear seams to be quite valid. There are certainly times when even eating a celery stick made me regress.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
