Gluten Attack

For the past two days I have been very ill and have been wracking my brain to figure out if I had consumed any gluten. Finally, we worked out that it was in a salad I had consumed 5 times over the christmas period. I am dizzy, feel ill, my lips are swollen and I am feeling very hot and irritable. Does anyone else suffer these episodes? I am usually very careful with what I eat so this is the first time it has happened this way. I am also very anxious and trembly. I have been diagnosed for 12 months now and am so grateful the doctors worked it out. How long will I feel like this?

If I get any gluten I will be dizzy for 3 weeks+. The stomach stuff and headache genrally last a week for me and then the off balance remains. I use charcoal tabs and it helps ease the first week.

      Have you considered eating plenty of gluten from now until your capsule endoscopy? If you truly have celiac disease that would increase the chances of damage being seen.

      I just want to reinforce what Scott said and that is we have tended to think in these neat little black and white categories of it's either celiac or NCGS when in reality it may not be quite that neat. There's just a lot we don't know and the immune system is very complex. I often wonder if I had been gluten free as a child if I would have avoided developing celiac disease as an adult. I think there is also this misconception that if you have NCGS, gluten is not harmful, it just creates discomfort and inconvenience.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Gotcha.  I'll give 100% gluten-free a whirl after my testing concludes.  I know the traditional endoscopy is the gold standard, but I've already had that done and it was normal, so my gastro wants to do a capsule endo to try to cover more surface area and see if she can see anything further than the traditional endo... If I do have Celiac, I just seem to be on the very early end, I think.
