Eating Gluten After Being Gluten Free


Debbie-nibbles

Recommended Posts

My Dr. thinks I might br gluten intolerant, so I started the diet. Yes I do feel better then I have in a while but I thought I would try gluten again, having a french dip and fries. Today I feel like I have the flu, my stomach is very queasy and I'm very tired. I also don't feel like doing anything at all, including thinking about fixing food at all. What has anyone else felt after getting gluten after being gluten free?

A lot of people have said that they get really, really sick. I have been gluten free for a few months and about a month again I accidentally ate something that was totally full of gluten and nothing happened. :huh: Recently, I've been feeling kind of sick again and think I might be getting something in my system. I just feel nauseous a few times a day, especially when I first wake up.

I feel like crap usually for a good 2 weeks after being glutened. I usually get feeling tired, nausea, anxiety, etc. It is not a fun feeling.

Scratchy throat, splitting tongue, sinuses whacked, bellyache, headache, V and D, low grade fever, muscles ache...oh about two weeks worth each time now with a small accidental glutening like some cross contamination. The one last year that got me was a major incident that took eight months and multiple hospital trips to get over. I hope never to get hit that badly again.

Migraine, heartburn, depression, unexplained sobbing, constipation, nausea, flashes of anger, fatigue, saddness, lasts from a week to two weeks. Also variable eating conditions - will feel like crap most of the time but sometimes my stomach will seem almost normal, and all symptoms will subside, until I eat something ungentle (coffee, chocolate, anything fried, anything greasy, cheese, sugar) and then it all comes back again. It's frustrating when I start feeling better and are sick of broth and rice and bananas and basic foods, eggs, salmon, and then I eat something more normal and get sick all over.

Pretty much now if I start crying for no reason I know it's gluten. If I haven't put the pieces together by then, that seals the diagnosis for me. And all this can happen from eating the equivalent of a bread crumb or two... it's a major bummer.

Even with all that though, I feel so much better the rest of the time, I know there's hope. I'm kind of down today because I got glutened again yesterday at lunch and it was a rough night.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
