Still Having Major Problems

hey all. just got back from my honeymoon where i was sick for most of the trip regardless of avoiding dairy and gluten.

today i am still feeling extrememly sick with severe stomach pain and nausea and i have not had any gluten or dairy.

all i had today was a scrambled egg with some leftover steak for breakfast. I am 100% positive that this had no CC as i do not even keep gluten in the house.

I also had some hot tea as I have a soar throat. THIS and the splenda used to sweeten it was double checked to make sure there was no gluten.

THE only other thing that could be a problem is the throat drops for my soar throat. THIS Was also double checked to have no gluten.

I have not idea what it could be and I don't think this is normal. DOEs anyone have any suggestions?

I have some Hall's sore throat drops and they are supposed to be gluten free. However, they do have glucose syrup in them which can be derived from wheat starch but supposedly has so little ppm of gluten that it isn't supposed to cause reactions. Nonetheless, I've heard people say they have reacted to glucose syrup so it could be the drops for your sore throat.

So sorry for you!

Well, re: the gluten? Could be the splenda or the throat drops, because unfortunately 'gluten free' does not actually mean 'no gluten.' It just means less than a certain amount of gluten (and that amount is determined by country), and there are varying levels of sensitivity to gluten, so some people will still react to some products that are 'gluten free.'

In the studies that I've read, they've looked at some people, eating very gluten free, who have refractory celiac disease. A number of them improved when they lowered their gluten level even further.

Also, we've experienced something that I know a few others have, namely that our reactions get worse the longer we're off of gluten. Now, I don't know if you get more sensitive to gluten, too, sometimes, or if the reactions being worse just let you know that something is not good for you, but I DO know that both my daughter and I have foods now that we can't eat that we ate without noticing a problem a few months ago (we've only been gluten-free for a little over a year, now)

We try to eat them now, we get really sick. So...might want to try and drop the sweetener and cough drop and see how it goes. Couldn't hurt, anyway! :)

It does to me also, plus migraine headaches.

I avoid any artificial sweetners now. I had problems with them also.

What I've found, after being on a fairly restricted (but not total elimination diet) is that you have a reaction to food intolerances roughly 10-24 hours after injesting it, and the after effects last longer. Food allergy reactions occur quicker, are more immediately severe, but don't last as long. That's my body, not sure if anyone else is the same.

Some of the attacks sneak up on you, some of them pounce. It makes this all so confouunding at times.

I'm so very sorry that you were sick during your honeymoon, and wish you good health!

I'd try to eliminate soy before eggs, but you never know until you try! Good luck...and I wish you a long and happy marriage!

Where did you go on your honeymoon and what did you eat? Any chance of food poisioning instead of gluten?

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.
