Got Glutened

Hi everyone,

I think I got glutened on Saturday while eating lunch at the only restaurant I ever go to on a Saturday with friends. I live in Italy. The restaurant is cafeteria style. They know I'm g.i. I did choose gluten-free foods. They do make bread in the kitchen and so I am thinking that my food was cc'd. I am miserable today and have been for the past three days. Had tremendous gas and flatulence right after eating lunch that day. Then bad stomach ache no matter what I eat, anxiety, depression, very poor memory, irritability, fuzzy thinking. That was four days ago. How long will this last?

I'm a mess. I'm relatively new to this. Anyone relate?

Hi there

Poor you! I think it must be tough to be GI in Italy....

The restaurant does sound like a cc risk if they are baking and maybe also making their own pasta.

I'm new to this too (since August), and have had one major glutening incident. The symptoms were just like yours, only I could also add nausea, horrid large yellow you know whats, headache, huge fatigue and sleepiness. It was about 2 weeks before it cleared. One thing that helped me with the gas and stomach ache was starting to take digestive enzymes with food. Apparently they don't work for everyone, but they worked a treat for me.

I hope you feel better soon.

I think I did the same thing this past weekend. I still feel bad, tired, D, bloating but the nausea has gone away. I figure I lived so long with these symptoms, I can put up with them a few days or weeks. At least I learned something from it. It's still a little disheartening to know that I have to be that militant about it! Hope you feel better soon!

I got diagnosed five years ago and think I finally have it figured out. If I'm feeling exhausted, fuzzy, bloated, etc., I go back two days to see what I could have possibly eaten that got me. If it's just a little bit of CC, then I'm sick for a few days or so. But if it turns out to be a lot, then I'm in bad shape for months. Isn't celiac fun??

Yeah, it's a blast. Thanks to you and everyone who posted, I really appreciate hearing from everyone.

I'm so discouraged because eating out is one of the few things I really enjoy with friends. I mean what else is there to do? You generally have to eat when you spend time with other people if you're together for awhile. I'm really saddened and depressed because every single time I eat out, I get sick.

I hate this.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
