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.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      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.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      Fusilli Pizzeria, Miller Place, NY

      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...

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      By nancydrewandtheceliacclue · Posted

      @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.
