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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference. I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me. At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university. I went gluten free. I...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis. While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels. Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten. celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has...

      Yes, I have noticed a big difference.  I had serious malnutrition symptoms that my doctors couldn't figure out, so they blamed me, said I was "depressed" and washed their hands of me.  At home, I could feel myself dying, and, with nothing left to lose, I relied on knowledge from my microbiology and nutrition classes at university.  I went gluten free.  I started taking vitamins according to my nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Vitamins worked.  My health improved.  Now I'm here to help others.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Doctors don't recognize the symptoms of Celiac disease and malnutrition. Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and digestion, improves diabetes and neuropathy and much more.  TTFD (Thiamax or TTFD-B1 Max) helps with brain function, neuropathy and lots more.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to make energy so the cell can function.  Without sufficient thiamine, mitochondria die.  Every cell also needs thiamine and the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine has antiviral and antibacterial properties.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a lot of carbohydrates.  The more carbs one eats the more thiamine is needed to process them into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine, the body stores the carbs as fat. This is called high calorie malnutrition.   We may not be getting sufficient thiamine from our diets if we eat a gluten free diet.  Gluten free flours and processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like their gluten containing counterparts.  Meats are the best sources of thiamine, but some veggies (beans, potatoes, squash) and fruits (citrus and berries) contain some thiamine.    Explore thiamine more here: https://hormonesmatter.com/thiamine-deficiency-causes-problems/

      Yes, I would be good with the diagnosis.  While NCGS isn't a malabsorptive disease like celiac disease, inflammation and restricted diets can impact Vitamin D levels.  Recovery from either disease requires avoiding gluten.  celiac disease may take a longer recovery than NCGS because in celiac disease there is intestional damage to the cilia that has to self repair in addition to the nutritional deficiencies.   Nonceliac Gluten Sensitivity Dr. Weston Price's research in the 1930s showed that diets rich in minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D3, K2) promoted well-mineralized teeth, while deficiencies led to weaker enamel. Fatty liver, Intermittent diarrhea, Severe abdominal distension Choline deficiency causes abnormal deposition of fat in the liver, which results in a condition called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In some people, choline deficiency causes muscle damage. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/other-nutrients/choline    Choline is a large part if the bile salts for fat digestion, Acetycholine, a neural transmitter, mitochondria membrane structure, and along with folate, B12, and B6 recycles homocysteine  High homocysteine can damage artery linings. Low vitamin D levels are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety,  autoimmune diseases and most of your symptoms.
