Back On Gluten With All New Symptoms... Confused

I started back on gluten on Friday for my endoscopy on the 19th and am having weird symptoms that I'm not used to, and one is pretty concerning.

 

The biggest one is more of a girl issue. I've been on the pill for 4 years now. I started it because I was noticing a distinctive D/C cycle that aligned with my menstrual cycle. It fixed that problem except I would get very sick during the placebo week. So I talked to my Ob-Gyn and they said it would be fine if I went on a 9 weeks on, one week off cycle. I was perfect about not skipping a day until last spring. Now it seems I skip one every month just about (bad I know). But this never caused issues until December or January of this school year. Then I started sometimes getting spotting after missing a day. The issue that I'm having now is that I missed Wednesday, started back on gluten Friday, and am now having a full blown period which isn't supposed to start for another few weeks. The spotting should have happened Thursday or Friday but it started Saturday. As I said, I never had issues with this before.

 

The second weird thing isn't so much of a symptom but a lack of one. I am having my normal muscle and joint fatigue, room-clearing gas, totally abnormal BMs and cravings for an unhealthy level of sugar. But no nausea... which was my first sign of being glutened when I went off gluten after the blood test. I've been eating high protein meals with my gluten because that seemed to help before my diagnosis - could that possibly mitigate how quickly I'm getting the symptoms and get rid of the nausea? Like how if you drink alcohol or caffeine on an empty stomach, the effects hit you a lot faster, but the opposite. So could eating high protein meals be redirecting my body's efforts away from making me sick or is this all in my head? Either way, it would make the next three weeks a lot easier.

 

(Background for those of you who haven't seen my other posts: I'm 20, swim 4.5 miles a week so fairly active, eat healthy most of the time, IBS since 2006 dx 2010 [and it has a separate reaction to gluten-free foods so it's still there], in a stressful college environment, got blood tests done in February, waiting on the biopsy.)

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
