Is This A Sign Of 'Being Glutened'?

i've been off gluten ... again. It's been almost 2 weeks (the time before i was off for over a month, i wont fall off wagon again;) anyways, 've noticed i'm having 'regular' look stools since going back on. I've noticed some 'non-regular' looking stools. Is this a possible sign of being glutened?

last night we went to chiplotle for dinner. I have to chicken corn tortillas , chips and salsa and within like a half hour i felt extreme exhuaustion and a horrible, horrible headache. Hubs thinks things don't happen that fast. I took clomid almost 2 weeks ago, so i suppose it was a clomid headache?? but then this morning my stool was mushy again, no AS mushy as it can be, but still not HARD like it should be.

So... what do you think??

Within a half hour of eating gluten my ears hurt, even quicker than that. Extreme exhaustion sounds like my symptoms, sometimes a headache. The time period varies, I found. It probably depends upon many variables--for instance, what you ate before that, when you ate, etc. Our bodies are constantly dealing with our environment outside and what we put in them so I'd think it'd be totally normal for reactions to vary just like our daily lives. Plus, hot peppers, if you had them, speed up our heart and metabolism a bit, right? So reactions might be quicker? Guessing...

I don't go to Chipotle that often, I just happen to like Qdoba better, but you know with Qdoba that steamer that they throw the corn tortilla in to make it nice and soft is the same one they have been tossing flour tortillas in all day for their burritos. I stopped getting any of their tortillas or their chips just out of fear of cross-contamination of some sort. I gained this fear after a bad experience there once similar to yours. Now I just always get a 'naked' burrito, basically just the guts of a burrito in a bowl, without the wrap, and have been fine going on dozens of visits there now. Anyway just something to consider when out at any build-your-own-burrito place!

Yeah I think what you said about your stool sounds accurate, at least that is what happens with me when I have been lightly glutenized. This is so gross... but my stools had been so soft or just liquid for so long that when I finally went gluten-free that the first poop I had after avoiding wheat was so huge and solid I thought I might die of a heart attack it hurt so bad, hahahaha. I guess I didn't realize how puny my prior bowel movements had become until that moment. If I accidentally eat a small amount of gluten it might start looking like weird shapes or fluffy again and I might have a bit of a rumbly stomach for a day or two, then all that goes back to normal. A large amount of gluten and I'll be in pain and rushing to the bathroom about 10 times in one day and then feel weak and want to sleep the rest of the day. Sometimes I get a headache too. A severe attack like that usually hits me as soon as 8 hours after eating gluten, or as much as 2-3 days after. 24 hours is probably about the norm for me though. I usually know right away that it is not going to be a fun day though, my intestines start making this 'popping' feeling... hard to describe.

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @humerme! Two or three things. If you are looking to eliminate gluten, you will have to avoid not only wheat but also barley and rye. Those are the three gluten-containing grains. In recommending gluten-free breads, it would be helpful to know where you live since not all products are available everywhere. For instance, my go to loaf bread is Franz but it seems to be available only in the western U.S. I get twin packs at Costco. Finally, and this is vey important, you need to understand that if you intend to get tested for gluten intolerance/celiac disease you must have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks or months leading up to the day of testing. Beginning a gluten-free diet or even a reduced gluten diet will invalidate testing. Many have made this mistake in attempting to test the gluten free waters. Having said that, you can test the gluten free waters to see if symptoms improve and then go back on gluten for the purpose of testing, what we call the "gluten challenge" but many find that once they have been gluten free for awhile they have much more severe reactions when going back on it. Formal testing is necessary to distinguish between celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Intolerance" is a general term that covers both celiac disease and NCGS.

      Purposefully Glutening Myself?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Wow. Well, I do believe education can do wonders to open peoples' eyes. Many will get it, but some will always stay closed, and you can't battle that forever. Your family members have an increased chance of Celiacs themselves (and need to regularly get the blood screening test), so they do need some basic info for their own health. Maybe people here can suggest sources to help educate your family. Would they be willing to read the celiac com newsletter ? Sign up for it?  How about the great document for newbies available here? Maybe print some out, leave it out for them to read, ask them to read it, don't be pushy or dramatic, just ask sincerely and pray.  With one stubborn person, my brother, I printed an article out, told him I was confused about something in it, which I really was, asked him to read it and what did he think it meant. It started a great calm conversation, the resistance gradually stopped, and he is now a strong supporter. He actually got himself tested. When I was first diagnosed, I remember someone here suggested the U of Chicago Celiac site to me. Lots of good info there. I have printed out pages here and there, especially the ones about who should get screened for celiacs, 1st degree relatives, etc.  https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/conditions-services/gastroenterology/celiac-disease

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      (I'm new to this forum!) I have always had problems with Bob's Red Mill's certified gluten-free oats and oat flour, but have been able to eat other certified gluten-free oats, from Only Oats for example. I'd be interested to know the results of other products you test as well, particularly beans, as I have a hard time finding gluten-free beans in Canada.

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By humerme · Posted

      With all symptoms of gluten intolerance, I have begun searching for appropriate food replacements. In particular I need advice on the choice of wheat-free bread. The choice is vast so choosing the grain alone is confusing.Naturally taste is a personal choice but any thoughts you have will be greatly appreciated.
