Gluten Reaction After A Year Plus Of gluten-free

The other thread about worse reactions a few weeks after gluten free got me thinking. Has anyone been badly glutened a year plus after going gluten-free and had more severe symptoms than before? My GP said that my reaction probably wouldn't be as bad as last time because I have had time to heal. The last time I ate gluten was 6 weeks after going gluten free and it was awful.

I don't think I'm fully healed yet, but reactions do seem to be getting worse the longer I've been gluten free. Very annoying. I wish they got better as you were more repaired and able to take the damage.

I have been gluten free for almost 2 years. I recently have had to give up casein (dairy) and soy. My reactions to those 2 things are as bad as gluten. You may have gotten a secondary food intolerance on top of gluten. It is very common.

I've been gluten free for 9 years and my reaction is still severe. I hadn't been glutened in over a year and then ended up getting glutened due to my own stupidity a few weeks ago. The only thing that was less severe was my DH, the gut symptoms were just as severe as when I was new to the diet. Not everyone will have the same experience though.

As some of you know my reactions include intussusception its kind of considered a miracle that I've had it four times and each time it resolved on its own. Usually you have surgery and they remove part of your bowel :blink: I find it hard living with this constantly over my head. The last time I ate a lot of gluten I had it...I don't tend to get it due to contamination in small amounts...but I have to say - being scared of eating outside my house is getting kind of annoying. I'm sick of feeling worried that I could die every time I eat elsewhere! I guess this is kind of like what anaphalactic people feel like - although I'm obviously not as bad!

Also as some of you know I am toying with the idea of a gluten challenge. But if I thought I would get the Intussusception again then I wouldn't of course...

My reactions have definately gotten worse and changed! I used to get constipated and have horrible reflux. Now I bloat up so bad and end up with violent D and steatorrhea.

A friend of mine who's been gluten-free for 5 years says that she doesn't react as much to CC as she used to.

I haven't been at it long enough to give any input.

I have been gluten free almost a year and recently was given antibiotics that contained a weird starch. It was apparently a new name (new to me and my pharmacy) for a derived wheat starch. I have had stomach pain, the 'gurgling' again, excess gas, muscle and joint aches, and diarrhea since day 3 of taking the drug, mildly at first and then horrid. I stopped taking them on day 5 when I realized what was happening and it's now a week past that and I'm still having the pain etc... not as bad as it was on day 5 when I stopped them but still noticable. :( Hopefully, it will stop soon.

Medication is so difficult because Augmentin the name brand is considered gluten free but the generic's can vary by manufacturer. I'm going to talk to my doctors about an alternative to pills should I need antibiotics again in the future.. This is crazy to be so sick from a drug that's supposed to make me better. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Medical starch is supposed to be corn unless marked otherwise now, and even wheat starch should be gluten free when processed to medical standards. Upset stomach and diarrhea are pretty much the #1 side effects of any anti-biotic.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract. They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows. Even beans have lectins. You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract. You may want to allow your digestive tract...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg). Both are gluten free and free of other allergens. I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25". It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA. It's a powder form of Vitamin A. ...

      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding. I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose ...

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
