When glutening strikes...

First off I want to thank everyone out there who uses this forum. Over the past year it's helped me a lot after being DXs with celiac. I wanted to give back to the community and decided it's time to post something about my experience.

A few nights ago, while on vacation I decided to eat something I KNEW had gluten in it. (was at a fancy restaurant in Spain and forgot to tell the waiter about my allergy but decided to order the steak which I assumed was gluten free, the whole thing had some pepper sauce over it and I was a few glasses of wine deep and didn't really care). BIG mistake, this was my first real glutening since I began my gluten free regiment 1.5 years ago.  

Like most of you who know.... the next 24 hours was a nightmare. Horrible cramping, horrible brain fog, groggyness, depressive thoughts, anxiety, chilly sweats... So I took whatever pain meds are available to me to combat the pain but nothing seemed to work!

Out of complete desperation, I decided to down a bottle of white wine. I know it sounds super counter intuitive (alcohol upsets the stomach) but it seems to be the only thing that helps. Maybe it's just the alcohol numbing the pain or maybe there is some sort of reaction that is happening that can help when someone gets glutented? I read this random article (non-scientific) https://vinepair.com/wine-blog/beer-and-wine-help-aid-digestion/ which is what led me to try this technique.

Anyways, I figured if I put this out there, maybe others have had a similar experience and can chime in. 

Cheers!

That is the first time I've heard of that treatment.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      I have Celiac, and just got diagnosed with ADHD as well, but the internet is not being helpful in researching which meds are safe for me or not. Does anyone know off the top of their heads which ones are safe?

      Glutensensitive? or something else?

      Any testing for celiac disease done while on a gluten free or even a restricted gluten diet will not be valid. The blood antibody tests for celiac disease are designed to detect specific kinds of antibodies produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining produced by gluten ingestion so when you remove gluten or restrict it you eliminate or reduce the inflammation to the point where it's levels fall below what can be detected by the tests. You say you had been eating "some gluten" in the weeks leading up to the testing. Recent guidelines for the pretesting "gluten challenge" call for the daily consumption of 10g of gluten for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. 10g is about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread and I would certainly give it more time than two weeks, say four, to be sure.  You may have NCGS or celiac disease but you may also have IBS as well or SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) which are all more common among celiacs than in the general population.
