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.)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
