Acceidental Glutening -- Better Than Worse


sleer

Recommended Posts

sleer Contributor

Hi everyone, I'm still relatively new to the gluten free lifestyle and I was glutened a week ago yesterday. I had all my regular symptoms and then I started feeling a little better on Friday only to start feeling worse again yesterday. I seem to be feeling better today but still have some of the sore throat and sinus type symptoms. Have other people experienced this see-saw effect where they know they were glutened. They have their symptoms. They seem to get better for a bit only to get worse again?

ANy input is appreciated.

yeah, I am sorry. That totally happens to me. I really wish recovery was linear and not so sigmoidal. :(

I am going through the same thing exactly. Got glutened Sunday, finally felt better yesterday then today not only was the D back and the brain fog but I also got a slight sore throat and stuffed sinuses. it really sucks but it helps to know what the problem is, for some reason I'm able to relax more knowing Thayer eventually that gluten WILL be out of ny system.

It can take awhile to get over a glutening. Some of us get an upset tummy and then it is over, lucky them. Others like myself will get a cascade of symptoms that follow a pattern that can take a couple of weeks or a month to resolve. It can take a couple of glutenings to know what your symptom pattern is and after a long time gluten free that can change. I used to get a migraine,severe depression and balance issues and DH first then D 3 days later followed by joint muscle pain and fatigue, for example, now after 9 years on the diet I no longer get a migraine and the DH is the last thing to come not the first. I still get depression first and then D 3 days after a glutening followed by a couple weeks of joint and muscle pain.

Hopefully you will be feeling better soon.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
