I've Been Glutened

I've been gluten-free for a couple of weeks now, but I'm pretty sure I've been glutened tonight. Seems like the longer I go without the junk/poison, the worse I feel when I have it.

I feel like throwing up and I can feel the acid burning. When I throw up now since going gluten-free, the acid is really strong...burns my nose and mouth really bad. Is it possible that I have something else happening (gallbladder, pancreas), or is throwing up part of having celiac.

I swear I'm gonna stick to fruits and veggies. Went to the store to buy kale and spinach. I won't get glutened this way, and I'll finally lose that 35 lbs. Not sure what caused it, but I did buy some pork tenderloin and am wondering if it was hidden in it somehow....there was a weird ingredient...will have to retrieve the label.

You know it really sucks when we even have to worry about meat.

Yea, the longer I was gluten free the more sensitive I became. Now when I am glutened I get nausea along with some other symptoms but I do not get vomiting so I do not know exactly what you are going through but I know how it is to feel bad.

Feel better and just be careful with reading labels and so forth. You should get the lists available...the 79 page list of foods and products gluten free status, and the mainstreams brands that will not hide anything and clearly put wheat,rye,barley,oats on the label or be safe...they will be extra helpful. You need the safe/forbidden list too if you have not got that yet.

Thanks guys for the kink words. This is not something to take lightly. I swear to never have gluten knowingly again, and I am going to be extra vigilant so that this doesn't re-occur. This is scary stuff....

My aunt just had surgery for barrett's ring....two of my aunt's have major hair loss...another one has fibromyalgia and bi-polar, my bro has schizophrenia, my mom and aunt have hypothyroidism....and the list goes on and on. They are all on my mother's side of the family. My mom says she was told 30 years ago that she has an "allergy" to wheat, but I am wondering if she even understood what she was told (she immigrated to Canada at that time, and did not and does not speak the best English). Then there is me with all of my health problems. I don't intend on being like my mom and aunt's at their age...I'm stopping this now. I've tried to tell them that they need to get tested, to no avail. At least I know that I can help myself.

Feel better skar! :( I got glutened SO many times when I was just starting out gluten-free. For me it was cross-contamination every single time - I'd pick something that was safe but because I was eating out every day I got sick about once a week. The solution I've found is to stock up on good healthful fresh food (veg, meat, fish, eggs, fruit) and cook at home. Nothing but basics get into the house, nothing that's been basted or marinated, just plain meat and fish. Then I spice things up (safely) using ingredients I know are safe. A good side-effect to this new necessity of life has been becoming a decent cook!

It's a shame your relatvies won't get tested. It's incredibly frustrating when you *know* this is what someone has (esp. a relative because gene-wise they most probably do have the same thing as you...) Why don't people at least want to try to feel better?

what's barrett's ring?

I'm glad you are trying to mend your body. Maybe when they see the new improved you with your new improved health they might consider it. You can't force them, but try to gently, continuously persuade them. Here's to health! :)

Long-term GERD can sometimes lead to Barrett's esophagus, a condition in which the color and composition of the cells lining your lower esophagus change because of repeated exposure to stomach acid.

Barrett's esophagus is uncommon. Only a small percentage of people with GERD develop Barrett's esophagus. But once Barrett's esophagus is diagnosed, there's a greater risk of developing esophageal cancer, which often spreads from the esophagus to lymph nodes and to other organs.

As far as healing goes, my stomach is as big as a house today and full of gas. Hope I feel better tomorrow.

Skarlet,

I hope you feel better. Do you have any zantac, prevacid or anything like that? That heartburn/reflux pain is miserable.

      Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then).

      In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps...

      Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy

      The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

Best wishes.

      Symptoms Dismissed

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
