When Glutened To You Feel Terrible Instantly?


Silencio

Recommended Posts

Silencio Enthusiast

I have been gluten free for 5 months now, im one of those that dosent feel any different after being glutened. This past week after eating a few burgers with gluten free bun of course I felt like I was going to throw up. I started dry heaving but couldnt throw up. About a week later I made some breakfast sausages and after one sausage it hit me right away. Again dry heaving but not throwing up. It lasts for about 5 minutes then I feel totally fine. Does this sound normal or could it have nothing to do with celiac disease at all?

Well, it certainly doesn't sound normal to me nor have I ever experienced it in the two years I've been gluten-free.

Did you prepare these and eat them at home or at a restaurant? I'm thinking the possibility of CC.

How do you normally handle fats? Do you think too much fat is a problem for you (thinking gall bladder problem perhaps???)

Silencio Enthusiast

Yes I did prepare and eat them at home. It could be CC since I am the only one that sticks to the gluten-free diet in my home. We do share the same pans and dishes. I was never really worried about it before since being glutened didnt effect me at all. I am always carefull to wash pans really good though.

I handle fats just fine. I could eat anything at all with no problem whatsoever.

No I dont,not from gluten. Actually, once I got a head rush ( like a high) when I bit into a Twizzlers . I did not realize until to late that the first (or second I dont remember) ingredient is wheat flour .But I do not feel ill instantly. For me , with gluten, it takes about 28 hours before I feel the effects .

But if I ingest soy or corn I react instantly. You may want to look at other ingredients to evaluate if you possibly have another food intolerance .

I will look into that. Thanks for your reply. Also I miss Twizzlers so much. I used to eat them all the time!

Compare the ingredients in both and see what is in common. Anything stand out?

The most obvious culprit is gluten, since you are the lone gluten-free in your house and you haven't been symptomatic.

A gluten reaction doesn't have to be from what you are eating at the moment. I will get stabbing stomach pain for days after a glutening - when I know what I'm currently eating is fine. For me, some foods just irritate my stomach more after a glutening, whereas if I ate them any other time it would be fine.

Being symptomatic ain't what it's cracked up to be, I've found. Btw, gluten symptoms hit me at approximately 6 months gluten-free. I started with a bowling ball in my stomach and it progressed to headache/bowling ball/body aches to stabbing stomach pain and severe muscle cramps. So your thrills may just be starting. Good luck.

I actually bought a box of frozen burgers. I am just going to buy ground beef and freeze burgers for now on. I will be sure to compare the ingredients if someone in the house happens to buy them again just to try to find out what it is.

I figured I would have symptoms sooner or later. I read once you rid your body of gluten, once you take in a little bit you will start to feel it. I still dont know alot about all that since I never had to worry about it before. Looks like I will have to educate myself a little more. (haha I spelled educate wrong, thank you spell check..)

I know about a day or so. Well, it's like this. If I'm glutened at lunch time today, I'll feel it first thing when I wake up tomorrow morning. If I was glutened today at breakfast, I'd know first thing tomorrow morning.

If I was glutened today, sometimes whether I sleep or not will be a sign. Sometimes I feel like I've slept, but wake up tired. I can't think of the name right now...because guess what happens when I'm glutened? Brain fog. Guess what happened yesterday? :P

Did I sleep last night? Yes. But when I woke up, what did I feel like? A dump truck.

I suppose it's different for everyone, but for me it's usually a day or the morning after.

For me it's about 1/2 hour to an hour for the stabbing pain in the duodenum to start. Then it's all downhill from there...

For me it's about 20mins, usually just wrapping up at the table and I start to feel it. Ive learned to eat slower now, so if I start to feel symptoms I can stop before I get a full meal of cc in me. It usually last around 3 days.

Thats actually a good idea, I never even thought of eating slower haha im such a noob at this.

I am not gluten-free yet so I really have no idea if the reason I feel lousy each day is because of what I ate before, or what, but I notice I get very ill within 45 mins of eating and it slowly gets better hours later, leaving.me with a constant.hungover feeling. I have stomach issues, but my biggest symptoms are all sinus like. Itchy eyes, runny.nose, migraine, dizzy, short.of breath, sore throat, ear ache, jaw ache, etc.

For me it's three hours. I start getting sort of a panicked feeling and then the nausea. However, I don;t think that either your gluten-free bun or the sausage is your culprit -- at least not as far as gluten is concerned.

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
