After Being Glutened Do You Ever Pass This?

I have been having a heck of a time lately. I was glutened last Thurs. I had all of the symptoms that I always get. I have been getting a new symptom though. You know how with celiac, you have mucus or oily drops floating. (TMI) I know. Do you ever just have the oily/mucus discharge after a bout of D from being glutened? It's freaking me out a little b/c it's always been in the stool but now sometimes I feel like I have to go and thats all that comes out the oily stuff.

Thanks so much!

Yes, I use to have that before going gluten free. It was really bad after having a pasta dinner...go figure!

Yes...I've had lot's of times I was only able to pass mucous and oil water...before I found out what was wrong.

I have a question though. Did this happen just from trace gluten? That happened to me as I was eating gluten every day. I'm just curious if you don't mind sharing. How did you get glutened this time?

It will stop when the gluten is out of your system.

Well..I unknowingly ate a product that was cross contaminated every sat. For about 2 months. I had recently stupidly went waaaay overboard on dairy products and blames it on that. My dairy and glutened symptoms are very similar. I removed the dairy and still had d etc. Ate the product again and bam..figured it out. It went in the trash. I am super sensitive and react badly.

Thanks for your help. I am going to try not eating anything processed. I keep getting glutened over and over from stuff marked marked gluten free. This disease sure is tricky sometimes.

Sorry but what do you mean oily drops floating? Sorry this is all new to me. Discharge? Does it just come out?

With celiac, one of the hallmark symptoms is oily stools or oily diarrhea. I looks like oil drops floating in the toilet. It comes out after going to the bathroom or sometimes it will feel like you have to go and just pass gas with the mucus/oily stuff.

I've been gluten free for almost 2 years and I am still learning. It's hard to deal with sometimes especially with cross contamination and delayed reactions.

Welcome to the forum.

Sounds like my pattern. I do ok for a while and then start missing all the foods I have to do without. I feel the best when I avoid all processed gluten free foods. I am having to rededicate myself today. I had been avoiding corn but couldn't pass up some kettle corn marked gluten free. I kinda went crazy after what I thought would just be a few bites. Boy, did I pay for it. The cravings can be incredible and hard to resist. I had also been experimenting with candy bars and some yogurt. Not really sure which set me off. Maybe someday I'll learn to say goodby to those things forever.

As unsettling as it is, yes it happens. It happened to me all the time before I went gluten free and now it happens when I accidentally get glutened. I think it usually comes towar then end when I'm just about done with the stomach problems. I feelfor you! You are fine though, dont let it freak you out. Just let it resolve you to e more vigilant about cross contamination.

I have this however its not as bad as it was when I was consuming Gluten dairy super bad also All my slimy mucus out the but is almost stopped completely. I am still noticing a oily layer at the top of the water I also have some floating stool some not mostly when I consume food with a high fat content like hamburger cream cheese use to do this to me also but I haven't eaten that in a long time. I posted about this in another thread I had started but deleted it, it fits better here.

I get mucus after getting glutened. It can confirm that the aches and pains I feel without much GI problems are actually from getting CC.

Oh wow, I never noticed the cause and effect before - this might help me a lot in figuring out what the sources of CC in my diet are! Gee, I get to start a mucus diary, awesome.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice.

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for.

      My only proof

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
