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.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/
