Recovery From Glutening

The other day I accidently injested gluten (about 5 days ago). Since then, I have slowly been feeling better throughout the week, but after eating all week, I am feeling lightheaded/dizzy/fatigued (as though I am getting glutened again, but I know I am not). I know the symptoms can last for a week or two, but I am just wondering: does anyone feel them a little more right after eating for those couple weeks?

Thanks!

I was confused for a while about it, but I kept getting that feeling after drinking tea. I knew the tea was fine - it was plain green tea that was totally safe. It seems that the hot water does it to me. (So it happens if I make fresh ginger tea too.) For some reason, that change in temperature can cause that feeling for 10-15 minutes for me. Perhaps you have some other innocuous trigger? (That is, if the feeling doesn't keep lasting and lasting. If it does, I would check with your doctor if it's still there in a week or so.)

Were you drinking tea with your meal? Or just after tea?

I drink tea with every meal, but I don't always feel it.

I've only noticed it this week, after a horrible experience with some sort of cross contaminating Sunday night. Every time I eat, I feel crappy again.

I don't have a doctor, so I am doing this whole thing by myself, with help from my mom. I'm self-diagnosed. The good thing is, I've noticed a lot of my big symptoms (extreme bloating, EXTREME fatigue, numb legs, et cetera) are going away. It's been about 6 weeks. A lot of other things are lingering.

I just have to remember it's only been 6 weeks... Right?

When I got my worst gluten reaction, I got bad stomach pain almost everytime I ate for a few days. The thing with celiac is that everyones gluten reaction seems to be different.

The good thing is, I've noticed a lot of my big symptoms (extreme bloating, EXTREME fatigue, numb legs, et cetera) are going away. It's been about 6 weeks. A lot of other things are lingering. I just have to remember it's only been 6 weeks... Right?
That's a good sign that the symptoms are slowly getting better. This shows that the diet is working :) You should notice more improvement with time.

All on it's own. (I make a small pot that I drink througout the day at work.)

If you notice it every time you eat, I'd ask:

1. What is common about the foods you are eating? (For instance, is rice always a part of your meal, or some other thing.)

2. What is common about the way the food is prepared?

3. Is everything you are eating fresh and naturally gluten-free? (I think this is important when starting out or when having trouble figuring out symptoms. Packaged goods are extremely convenient, and a great frustration in ruling things out.)

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      still struggling with cravings

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:
