Not Sure If Glutened Or A Virus

So the other day I started to feel a little sick i'm pretty sure everything was gluten free according to what we've found out...i've still been eating though yesterday i didn't get as much into me as the day before....

Here's the thing..and this might be gross...but we're all use to that here right? ;)

So the first night when i started feeling ill i felt a little nauseous but it felt more like i had overeaten. I was laying on my back and started to feel ill. The next day i had diarrhea...just really loose then turned to full blown liquid. I was still eating this day.

So then yesterday it seemed like the feces was starting to clump a bit more again so I figured i had a temporary issue of some kind and it was going away....but last night..i i had this sensation like i had to go...so i went and it felt more like passing gas but a small bit came out....when i looked into the toilet to see if anything was even there...there was this long piece of...well....jelly it almost looked like...mucus. Lots of it surrounding broken up very thin feces. It just...looked more like the mucus had some in it rather than the other way around except for one main piece that came out. But very full of mucus. Even when I was eating gluten i don't recall ever having that THAT bad....sometimes i'd get something but it always went away.

I've been very nervous since i saw this last night. I took pictures in case i ever feel the need to show it to the doctor. Has anyone had a freak thing like this happen? Is it possible i just have diarrhea and it was irritating my bowel so a lot of mucus formed?

I've also had a LOT of stress for the past week or so as a friendship of mine is going downhill and my nerves are shot because of it. I end up feeling tummy sick a lot while talking about it etc so I have a LOT of anxiety.

But my temperature elevated just a bit to 99.1 the main day i was having the diarrhea though that could be from needing water and dehydration I suppose because my temp was normal yesterday. I'm still hearing noises from my belly. I might have to go soon...very nervous i'm going to see more...there was a lot of mucus last night but not earlier in the day...

I can't tell if i have been gluetened or not...has anyone else just had a random bout with a lot of mucus only to be ok later? Is this normal?

That is exactly what happens to me when I am glutened. The mucus thing. It may be undigested fat and not mucus. Either way, it sounds like you were glutened. Do you have a problem with corn? I see this when corned as well.

Feel Better!

Typically I don't have any issues with that. Since going gluten free my tummy aches seems to go away and i haven't really had any issues but... the day it started this is what i had

Jimmy Dean - Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties, Rice Chex, Horizon Organic milk (i've been drinking milk now for a while and i've been fine so i don't think it's that?), French Meadow Bakery Gluten Free Chocolate Cake, Field Day Organic Brown Rice Spaghetti Noodles, Bertolli Extra Virgin Olive Oil, So Delicious Chocolate Coconut Milk ice cream, Udi's Gluten Free Multi Grain Bread, Smart Balance Peanut Butter, another glass of milk,

Next day Simply Spuds steamables red potatoes....more of some stuff from the day before....beanitos chips....tostitos baked scoops (which i've never had any issue with...), bruschetta we made at home..simply potatoes traditional mashed potatoes....watermelon....list just goes on and on...we made pizza the night this started with schar pizza crust and ingredients i'm quite sure are safe? I'm very very confused....i'm pretty sure there is no gluten in our kitchen =\ we haven't eaten out...

Added note..I've used the washroom again and it was clumped up a bit more. No mucus that I could tell. There also wasn't in my diarrhea...just what i had last night.

Krista, maybe you'll have to eat simply and lightly for a few days to see if you get back to normal again...like make a pot of chicken and rice soup or something that is very easy to digest???

We can all get wonky from time to time and for me personally, I usually cannot figure out why.

I don't know. I love them, too, but I guess I was thinking homemade. I especially like the Spring Onion.

Or could you cook some plain rice in chicken broth?

Krista, maybe you really are sick. I know we tend to want to try to find something to blame it on.

But then again, normally our temperatures fluctuate throughout the day. 98.6 is just an AVERAGE. If I'm not mistaken, 99.2 COULD just be normal for you at this time of day.

Just a note...it's unlikely it's milk if i've been drinking it again since june and felt fine right? I dunno if i have a dairy intolerance but it hadn't been bothering me so...and during the time i wasn't drinking milk i still had products MADE with milk ...and i was ok.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
