Glutened at a wedding

I'm a 30 year old male and was diagnosed with celiac disease 3 years ago by biopsy. Since, I have been extremely careful with what and where I eat as I'm very sensitive. Only a handful of times have I got glutened. However this past weekend I went to a wedding and got it worse than I ever thought possible. Not sure exactly what caused it but its been 3 days and I'm still in tons of pain. It was so bad the next day I went to the ER with a resting heart rate of 120 bpm, usually is high 50's low 60's as I live a relative healthy life style. At the time I didn't even think it was gluten. Had no idea glutening could cause my heart rate to spike but all my blood work was good and they said they couldn't find anything to cause the high bpm. Of course the ER staff didn't think gluten could be the cause. Now a couple days later I have all of the other usual symptoms. Head fog, blurry vision, burping excessively, depression, anxiety, irritability and a bloated feeling in my sternum. This is my first time sharing my experience and I'm doing so to hopefully ease someone else who might feel like this. Here's hoping it passes soon...

Many cases of this in the past few days of people dealing with a recent gluten issues. As normal I can say there are enzymes you take right after you accidentally eat it that can make the symptoms less severe and go away shorter at least gut wise. As for the antibodies your going to have to wait them out. To help with them and address your current issues I suggest upping magnesium and b-vitmains. Drinking plenty of water ,tea, and easy to digest foods. Bone broth is supposed to help if you can drink it.

Mangisum wise depends from person to person and how your gut handles it. But either Natural Vitality Calm starting at 1/4 tsp and upping it slowly to the full dose over a week. this can be a bit harsh on some peoples stomach. If so I suggest Doctors Best also in powder form. These can be dissolved in a drink.

Liquid Health Stress & Energy and Liquid Health Neurological Support....1tbsp each 3 times a day works wonders for the fog, irritability, and neurological issues.

I am so sorry that you are ill.  Celiac disease is like a chameleon.  Symptoms can vary from glutening to glutening in my personal experience.    I hope you recover fast!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
