Seeming Spontaneous Symptoms!

So this morning when I woke up, I was feeling pretty good. I'd been glutened twice last week, and today had been the first day I'd been feeling close to normal since Thursday of last week. Around noon, I got insanely nauseous and bloated, within a span of minutes. All I've ate today has been gluten free... Just some corn Chex w/honey and lactose free milk for breakfast, some Ocean Spray cranberry juice, some Blue Diamond Almonds and Lays Potato chips for a snack and a Vernor's to wash those down. My breakfast lunch and dinner yesterday were all gluten free too...

Has this happened to anyone else? Am I still feeling the after effects of my previous glutening(s)?

Reactions can act really late, so if you ate something with gluten a few days ago you could be getting the consequences now... A little odd you would wake up feeling great though, it could be that your stomach doesn't get along with something other than gluten. Like the potato chips could be too harsh or something. Not quite sure though...

Well, lays can't garentee that their product is gluten free (in a sense of CCing). I looked it up some time ago on their website and it said that :( but other than that you could still be healing.

I believe Lay's actually changed this - saying that a lot of their chip products are now gluten free. Although I still don't trust 'em - especially since they are most likely GMO potatoes.

In response to the OP - I used to get heavily bloated (and still probably would if it weren't for glutamine) if I consumed a lot of fat. The majority of digestion of fat takes place in the small intestine - so it makes perfect sense that most celiacs struggle with it. Lay off the oils for a while and see if that makes a difference. I would also switch to a safer gluten-free chip - Cape Cods and Kettle Brand are pretty good.

Here's a link to Lay's website, for the chips I ate, they implicitly state gluten free.

Does anyone know if Hershey's is safe? The only thing I can come up with that I ate that might have caused this was a Hershey's with Almonds bar last night...

You may have a delayed gluten reaction or an additional food sensitivity. Could take some sleuthing to figure out what is bothering you. Don't forget, the high fructose corn syrup in the Vernor's could make one feel sick.

Josh, this happens to me all the time! The most common explanation that I get is that I am not fully healed yet since I was diagnosed a year ago. I am hoping the explanation is as simple as that because it is REALLY annoying to follow the rules and still feel this way! I feel your pain!

I'm sorry you're going through the same thing Cait... I'm actually almost 100% today... Hopefully I stay that way so I can heal now. I think stress plays a HUGE part in it too... I'm stressed at work like none other right now, so it's gotta be hindering me.

I hope you feel well soon Cait!

I find after a glutening my stomach is unpredictable for a week or so. I'll cycle through good days and bad. Also I'm more sensitive to fats and spices until things heal up so I try to eat kind of light.

As to the Hershey's Almond, I eat these without issue. Hershey isn't so good at disclosing CC and such but last I read the Hershey and Hershey w/ almond bars were being listed as safe by the company.

Thanks! They won't answer my email, so I was wondering.

I react to Blue Diamond Almonds. Some of us react to lower levels of gluten cc than others. You might want to avoid gluten-free foods made on shared lines. You might want to look into Super Sensitive celiacs. There is a section here for us.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
