Feeling "sick"


zestypickle

Recommended Posts

Back to the same old symptoms.

Right now I'm extremely lethargic, stuffed up (due to a recent sneezing fit), pain around my nose and eyes and forehead (sinus areas) and a very slight feeling of nausea. I want to go lay down for a nap but I know I'll feel worse when I wake up, for some unknown reason.

Could this have been from being glutened over the weekend, or is it too late for that? Could it be I ate something with gluten unknowingly? I just can't see my symptoms starting 3 days after I consumed the product, and lasting for what will be 3 days now.

This is exactly the feeling I did not miss when I gave up gluten to see if it would help. I have been eating gluten free oats every day, maybe I should stop eating that as well.

It is estimated that about 10% of celiacs react to the protein(avenin) in oats(even pure gluten free oats) and I am unfortunately one of them. I can't even tolerate cross contamination from them in gluten free products. You could drop the gluten free oats for a bit and see how you feel. You can challenge them later and see if your symptoms return.

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...

      Hi there, Please can you tell me exactly how this disease is diagnosed? I am also from South Africa Regards Izelle

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having...

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.
