I had gone a month without gluten, lactose, soy, nightshades, eggs, all that jazz. And then tonight I smoked some pot (BIG FREAKING MISTAKE PEOPLE) and found myself just shoveling everything gluten I could find into my mouth!!!! I am so terrified for this very fast and extreme seeming reaction... I just made this thread basically to complain while I'm going through it to feel a little better if it gets really bad. I'm also wondering if there's anythign I can do to make this whole process speed up a bit. Something that'll cleanse me out please??? Maybe some blood purifying food? Would that work? Diuretic foods? I feel so sick...

I'm going to drink some cleansing tea, and buy some guava apples tomorrow because I hear they make a good blood purifying food.. (if I can manage to get out the door!!! My depression and anxiety skyrocket in times like these..and I was supposed to start school for the first time since dropping out from anxiety/depression, tomorrow!!)

I don't know what symptoms you gut, but here is what I do when I get glutened:

Drink a lot of water to help flush your system and prevent dehydration.

Immodium for diareah.

Tylenol for pains headache and fever.

Benadryll for skin reaction (I get a really nasty itching rash).

Gas-x for bloating (make sure you have the green capsule looking ones, the tablets have gluten in them).

Hope this helps.

I had been wondering how you were doing? Yes, bad mistake, but let's put it right, I agree with gaingus, and you might try some pepto bismol if the stomach is acting up. Dril

Drink lots of water, take your anxiety meds, and see if you can get an appt. with your therapist and confess your sins :D Just hang on tight and you can ride it out. It won't be nice but hopefully it won't be too long. If you have some digestive enzymes take those too, they sometimes help. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I suppose this was the inevitable. The perfect reminder of why not to ever eat gluten/lactose again.

This is my first reaction, or contamination, during a period of being gluten free so I am quite afraid, I had forgotten how it feels to feel this sickly.

Thanks for the little tips. I'll eat as raw as I can tomorrow to satisfy the need for digestive enzymes. Linger around the medicine cabinet... Drink water... And continue to complain on here when it becomes unbearable.

No, don't eat raw, eat cooked, mushy, easy to digest stuff - you won't be able to handle raw :o

Sublingual B12 and fish oil help my anxiety from gluten. I also use inositol powder sometimes. You'll feel fine in a few days and I'm sorry you're sick. Next time the pot impulse hits, throw out all gluten and surround yourself with safe snacks. :P

Ok, I cooked half of the things I ate today, but still love my raw foods. You were right, actually. They were pretty hard to digest when my tummy was in that much trouble.

Skylark, fish oils seemed to help pretty well. Thanks for the tips. Either that, or just flush the pot down the toilet! =O I think this might be the way I'm going to go

I think the worst of the reaction is over. Physically, the symptoms were not as bad as usual.. . Other than diarrhea, ataxia,faster heart rate, joint and nerve pain, hot flashes and cold sweats and bodily shaking... I had a new symptom this time. I began to see things from the corner of my eye. How weird is that? Normally it was just a big bright light above or beside my vision, and then there were times little side visuals were morphing and twitching. Visual distortion was disturbing, everything seemed unfamiliar, cold and far away, like at any second it could change in front of my eyes. Usually I have the visual distortion, but I don't think I have ever had slight hallucinations like that before. I do remember this one time I saw worms in my icecream as a kid, and I ran to my mother and she said there was nothing there.... This is a very vivid memory, compared to my foggy childhood. Could this be what I think this was?

The worst of the symptoms was the depression, and anxiety, as always. I am not sure if I have ever felt as apathetic and hopeless in my life. I couldn't listen to music, couldn't read a book, couldn't even sleep. But I did, I slept all day. Still feel this way. But it's going away... Very very slowly. Hard to live with right now but it iwll pass..

This really made me realize how much better I've been feeling off of gluten. A world a part.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a...

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the...

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?
