12 days ago I accidentally glutened myself. I have been sick EVER since, diarrhea every day, several times a day. Feeling awful. I thought it was still the gluten but sheesh, 12 days??? Now, I did not have any D symptoms with my celiac diagnosis but I am now thinking now that maybe I am intolerant to something else. Again, with no gut problems, I was sure I had no other intolerances. It has been 8 months that I have been gluten-free, so I am a little surprised but from what I am reading, it may not be that uncommon to develop other intolerances?

Yuk. Now I don't even know where to start,

I had a similar experience last summer. Still don't know from what as I never had gut problems either. My symptoms were lots of aches and pains in muscles and joints and the big D. This went on for months. I finally went on an elimination diet to try to figure out if there was a sensitivity. Nothing really definitive showed up. I subsequently starting thinking it might be some supplements, so I decreased the daily fish oil amount. That helped some and I do feel I'm finally on the mend, but it is really frustrating. I ran across the Specific Carbohydrate Diet website and used some of those ideas. They coincide with much of my doctor's ideas. So, keep trying. Eventually you'll figure it out but it takes lots of time and detective work!!

It's possible you have other intolerances and it's also possible you are getting gluten from repeated cc that you are not aware of. Best thing to do to start out is to keep a food and symptom journal to see if you can see a pattern as food intolerance reactions can take several days to show up. Then you can start eliminating suspicous foods. Another way to go about it would be to do a strict elimination diet where you cut out all 8 major allergerns, everything you suspect and eat only a handful of whole foods you are sure you are okay with. Choose one protein, one starch, one easy to digest vegetable and only eat those for two weeks. Then pick one of you suspected problem foods (like milk) to challenge with--add it back into your diet for a few days until you either have a reaction to it or are sur eit is not a problem food. Keep adding one new food per week.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
