After Being Glutened


Metoo

Recommended Posts

Metoo Enthusiast

About a week ago, on vacation I was glutened 2 days in a row. My 'ezcema' broke out horribly, way worse than its ever been. My side of my hand was covered in about a thousand blisters, it normally was a 1 inch circle and a few tiny blisters..this was so much worse. Within 2 days of being strict gluten free, being extra careful again my blisters resolved, and are still resolving.

But...its been almost a week and I am having a really hard time with fatique, brain fog again. I feel like its from being glutened, because its extreme like when I was severly deficient on Vitamin D. ...which I have upped my Vitamin D the past few days in case it was that again.

How long does it typically take to resolve symptoms from being glutened?

I was kind of surprised what happened with my hand after just a few months of being gluten free. It kind of freaks me out and wonder what will happen if 4 months from now I get glutened.

Sorry to hear you are still feeling it. I think I picked up a little cross-contamination from a "gluten-free" dessert at a holiday party this past Saturday evening. Sunday was rough and still some residual D and fatigue Monday but Tuesday was more or less normal. I can only speculate why my bounce was quick. Perhaps I only ingested a small amount of gluten. The vitamin D you are taking should be helping. I also take B-complex plus another 1000 mg of B-12 daily. I also take magnesium oxide daily (400 mg I think). Also a daily probiotic and just recently I started making and drinking kefir from young coconuts (see Body Ecology Diet for details). Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
