I Slipped, And Now I Ache!

Hi, I'm pretty new to the gluten-free world. I quit eating bread and pasta (& etc.) early April, and yesterday I caved: I ate several slices of yummy bread.

Well, today I'm having severe bone and joint pain (back, arms, legs). Could it be a reaction? I am still as constipated as ever, but a bit more bloated and gassy.

I cheated because I felt like my life without gluten was not much different than on it: I'm still extremely tired most of the time, I can barely function.

How long does it take for the gluten to be completely out of one's system?

Each person is different. It sounds like your reaction is not good. have you had a blood test to see if you are celiac or gluten sensitive?

I'm still waiting for my results. I don't even know if the test that was requested is very reliable...

Yes, it is possible that your joint pain and aches are related to the gluten consumption. You will often have more extreme symptoms after being gluten free for a while. If you went gluten free only this month you have not given it a long enough trial to tell whether or not you will feel better off gluten, but I think you have maybe found that you will feel worse with it ;)

Your tiredness might be because you have either iron anemia or pernicious anemia (low B12), or you might even have a thyroid condition in addition to possible celiac. It sounds as though you need some testing to get some answers. I also get achy bones and joints when I'm accidentally "glutened." So, celiac is definitely a possibility for you.

I was diagnosed Coeliac 1 year ago. It. can take a long time for some symptoms to disappear. My fatigue and abdominal pain are still hanging around. Get your blood tested for iron, zinc, vit d, calcium, b12 and more. Your symptoms certainly sound like gluten poisoning.

Good luck, kim

Sounds like you are having a gluten reaction for sure! I agree with the previous posts regarding fatigue. There is a good chance of vitamin deficiencies. I would stay very strict with the gluten free diet from now on! You should see improvements soon! :)

BTW, Love the cat picture!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      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.
