Eating Gluten After Being Gluten Free

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 friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
