I've Been Glutened - I Think

I have been feeling terrible since September of 2010 - and I have tried playing detective - trying to figure out what foods I should avoid - some I have found - others I am still in the dark....

My poor husband has no idea what I can and cannot eat - we no longer go out to restaurants - because I am afraid to try something that may or may not make me sick. Everytime I experiment, I feel terrible. It is not just the gluten - but it is a number of other foods that I have now developed intolerance. I've read though that when the intestines are inflamed - that food intolerance is not unusual and that sometimes when the intestines heal, you can introduce foods back. But to how long this may take - is anyone's guess.

Anyway this weekend - I was in total denial - thinking maybe it isn't the gluten at all causing all my woes - maybe it is something entirely different - like colitis, gastritis, ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohns, etc. and I have made an appointment with a new gastroenterologist to figure out what I have. I do not feel great when not eating gluten - but I do feel somewhat better. Anyway - during this period of denial - I ate some Sour Dough bread (which is good for IBS - which supposedly I do have). Well - let me tell you - I was sooo sick! It was a weird sick though - not the soft stool which I usually have in the mornings now - but bad stomach upset followed by going to the bathroom a lot (but funny - not soft at all) but just having to keep going and going. Somehow the gluten harded the stool but gave me bad gas, bloating, and pain and I had to continually go to the bathroom - kept me up most of the night. To my mind - I think this was being glutened - or wasn't it?

After reading as much as I have been - Crohns and IBD symptoms sometimes will require not eating gluten or dairy or high fructose - so now I have no idea what I am dealing with - one or a combo of things. And to think, all this started out with an intestinal virus or food poisoning.

I sure do miss eating the things I had been - wish this was so less complicated!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
