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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
