Ate A "gluten Free" Sandwhich...

A new deli opened up in town and offered "gluten free" options including bread. I ate there and I ate several sandwiches, and I must say they were delicious.

I ate there twice. On a Sunday and on a Wednesday.

Around Monday, I had a rash re-appear on my chest/back and that traditionally has only gotten bad when I've been glutened. Wednesday, I had diarrhea. Saturday I had diarrhea again but this time with blood in the stool. Now it's been about a week and I feel bloated, stiff, I had a flare of my Sjogren's, and just plain bad.

I'm not positive that I was glutened since I do have some other autoimmune problems, but the rash really only appears after I've been glutened. I suspect it's dermatitis herpetiformis as it appears when glutened and disappears if I'm not. It's been tested twice and they said it was "bacteria" in the skin or something and that it wasn't DH. Hmm...

Anyway, does anyone else have a really long-term reaction where the immediate effects aren't that bad... but the gastroinestinal problems come 2-3 days after being glutened and then you have some major fatigue residual symptoms for a week or more?

Last time I was exposed to gluten (from a lone crouton in a salad), it took 3 days for my body to start to fall apart. it took 5 weeks for me to get back to normal. However, the problem was not fatigue, it was straight up D. (which, after a while, did lead to fatigue of course) The D is usually my problem but most likely related to a colitis flare up, and not necessarily celiac.

It does sound like you were glutened. Many times the reaction is delayed. The D for me starts about 3 days after I get glutened. Some places aren't aware that making safe gluten-free meals is about much more than just using gluten free foods. They may have CC issues.

My reactions are delayed about 3 days usually. I have to trace back what I ate to figure it out.

Maybe the fillings (Valu Brand cream cheese contains wheat protein) or cross-contamination, maybe get 'GIG' to send them guidlines about avoiding cross-contamination while preparing food for Celiacs.

Using the same knife that buttered wheat bread to cut smoked salmon (naturally gluten free) caused me 6 hrs later to cramp badly, vomit for a full day and have the big 'D' for 4 days, obviously now I'm extra carefully what I eat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
