Glutened And I Don't Know From What!

Glutened and had a blood clot in my D, anyone else ever have this??? Here's my long story...Yesterday...for breakfast I ate my Chex Honey Nut cereal with 1% milk (I have no dairy issues), lunch I made a Jiff PB & J (Grape Smuckers) on my homemade Bob's Red Mill gluten-free bread, and a bowl of Annie's gluten-free Mac n cheese for dinner. How much more Gluten free could I possibly BE?!?! I have eaten every one of these and have never had a problem. Here's my issue, I usually feel signs of glutenings under 4 hours of consumption...It hit me at 11pm right after a night out with friends, and hadn't eaten since 6pm (5 hours???)! I drank two cups of Sierra Mist at the horse track, and don't know what happened? Maybe a stray bread crumb being it was $1 hot dog night? I was 30 minutes from home with my boyfriend (bless his heart) and had to stop twice at gas stations....I was in such pain, sweating and generally just freaking out about it. I FINALLY get home and went again, to find what looked like a dark red clot of blood mixed with my....you know what. I hadn't paid attention to the previous unexpected bowel movements, so I don't know if there was blood there? I took two Imodium and went to bed....now I haven't gone all day of course!! I guess I will have to pay attention to it when I am finally able to go. Really, this was to complain about a frustrating unknown glutening, and to ask if anyone else has had blood or if I should be worried???

So sorry this happened to you. It is scarey to find blood as I too well know. While it is not real common for us to have bleeding with a glutening it can happen. It happens with me every time I get glutened. However if you do see more blood do talk to your doctor about it. If it is 'free flowing' or if you should have bleeding seepage go to your doctor ASAP.

It is possible that you could have picked up a virus or food poisoning so if the D continues do get things checked out. Gluten reactions can be delayed so you could have gotten glutened by something a day or so ago. Also some of us have issues with even gluten free oats and since BRM processes those there is the possibility that oat CC could have gotten you. You could try some more of the bread and see if you get another reaction.

I hope your feeling better soon.

Thank you!! I still haven't gone due to the Imodium, haha. Hopefully today so I can see how it all is. Trying the bread this morning....hopefully it's ok! At least it's the weekend and have no where I have to be. Thanks again!! I do feel better today.

Since you had multiple episodes of D before you took the Immodium your system may have already gotten rid of most of what it needed to. If this happens again and you don't have to go out of the house you might want to just ride it out and let your body clear itself. Perhaps next time you need to take the Immodium you could try one tablet and see if that does the job. You can always take another if the single tab doesn't help. I find 1/2 tab works for me but everyone is different.

If you like sweet potatoes those might help get things regulated again.

Thanks! I usually let it go, but since I had to be in the car for what seemed like hours (only 15-20 minutes) I freaked out and took two, normally if I take any, it's one. I have now finally gone this afternoon and all is good!! No blood....somewhat back to normal and feeling better! Still a bit tired and trying to shake my headache. Thanks for the advice with sweet potatoes...never knew those could help!!

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
