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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
