Odd Symptoms

On Sunday, I ate at a friends house. She assured me that everything was gluten free. We had roast beef, green beans and carrots and ice cream for dessert. Seems safe enough! She made gravy with corn starch for the roast beef. I watched her do this so I know it wasn't flour.

I felt fine on the way home but a little bloated. I blamed it on the ice cream because sometimes it will so that to me. A few hours later, I get the classic bloat and tons of gas. I did not get my typical D though. I usually get horrible acid like D for 3 days. I did however have a floating greasy like BM. The next day, I was achy. I have had horrible gas pains and excessive gas since Sunday.

Does this sound like I was glutened? I always have D and a migraine and DH after being glutened, this time, I didn't have any of those. Maybe it was just a tiny bit of CC and I didn't have a full blown reaction.

Any ideas? I'm getting really annoyed and tired of being in pain from this horrible gas.

Thanks!

If I get minor cc then I get similar symptoms. Had some soup that a friend made and swore was gluten-free on Saturday. I stopped her from stirring the soup with a spoon she used for the wheat noodles-- she said she didn't touch the soup. So, possibility of cc from the soup, the pot she cooked it in, cutting board, or whatever. No D, just gas, cramps, bloating, large volume of soft BM. At least with the minor cc I don't get the nasty symptoms such as brain fog, joints, lethargy, etc.

I know. It can be so frustrating. I tell my friends not to cook for me and why, but sometimes they want to and I sometimes get sick from it. The other side is that I love to cook, but some of them won't even try gluten-free foods. I tried to convince one that my gluten-free gravy using turkey broth didn't taste any different with corn starch than if I had used wheat flour for thickening, but she bought canned slop instead. B)

Could it have been the ice cream? I'm thinking specifically lactose. I know I was suddenly very sensitive to lactose after going gluten-free. I'm still take lactaid which works if I have just a small amount of lactose.

I think that the oily floating BM is typical for celiac right?! I always get D but maybe this is something new since it has been so long since I was glutened.... Now that I think of it, it was probably cc. There was a baby there eating crackers and there was a Birthday cake there. Even though I got my food first and got my ice cream first before the cake was cut, I bet it was cc from the counters or table etc.

It's so hard to net appear anti-social or to seem rude when you wont eat someones food even though they are so careful they don't understand cc.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      It is addictive. The dopamine hit I get from a sandwich after being gluten free for a while is insane and I immediately crave more. Maybe if I think of it more like an addiction I'll be able to beat it in the future.

      Undiagnosed Celiac Disease was your root cause.  As you heal and adress nutritional deficiencies you'll see lifetime symptoms disapear, some you don't even realize you have.     Until 1951 no one knew the cause.  Around 1900 it was also called "Infantilism", you outgrew it or died.  Dr Hass around 1920 was the first to come up with a treatment with close to 100% survival.  At 63 I followed his diet for a while and it helped me past the early stage of recovery.  Even then it was only considered a childhood disease, eventually the child outgrew it.  Once outgrown the child was reintroduced to wheat.  After that any symptoms that arose were attributed to whatever was popular, gall bladder, allergy, endometriosis, etc.  Often the final diagnosis is "we do not know the cause, it is just normal for some people, but we have medications that will treat your symptoms."   I was bloated, and always colicky.  When my son was born in 1976, my mother commented "You got what you gave."  I pointed out to my wife that he looked like a Biafra baby from the Biafra famine in 1970.  One of the first successful sales of modern wheat was to replace the rice the Biafran Aid Society supplied.  After searching the state where we lived (pop. 6 million) we found the one child gastroenterologist familiar with Celiac.  He only had 13 other children dianosed with the disease under his care and after several endoscopies my son was diagnosed, put on GFD and immediately thrived.  The doctor also suggested my wife and I also do gluten free.  We declined, not having any gastro problems.  That remains my only regret in my life. THE VALUE OF THE BANANA IN THE TREATMENT OF CELIAC DISEASE  Dr Hass' 1924 puplication with diet. There are over 300 symptoms related to celiac disease I believe that if you have the genes, you have Celiac Disease, but your immune system is strong enough to keep it subdued, or your symptoms are misdiagnosed as something not wheat.  Until something happens to weaken the immune system, and symptoms, often misdiagnosed and wrongly treated, until eventually you die, never knowing or you get lucky and end up eating gluten free.  To me it explains the late onset of acute symptoms, many are "just normal for you". Ever wonder why people get so angry if you suggest they may have Celiac Disease.  Wheat is a cultural and economic staple of our lives.  And it is addictive, it numbs our body.  Suddenly, gluten free, all the other irritants are no longer suppressed.

      I don't think we can say that just one thing, whether vitamin D deficiency or emotional trauma, or a viral infection, or what ever is always what triggers the onset of celiac disease. We do know there is a genetic component to it and there is increasing evidence that factors creating gut dysbiosis (such as overuse of antibiotics and preservatives and environmental toxins) are major players. Hybridizing of heirloom wheat strains to increase the gluten content by multiples may also be a factor.

      Thanks for the follow-up correction. Yes, so not 10x normal and the biopsy is therefore totally appropriate to rule out a false positive or the unlikely but still possible situation of the elevated lab test number being caused by something besides celiac disease.

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.
