How do you recover from mysterious gluten contamination? My guts won't wake up despite hot liquids, stewed vegetables, broth & yogurt (goat)....many days later. Doesn't drive you crazy when you cannot sleuth out how you were glutened? I'm 56, teach high school and been gluten-free for 3 years. Thank you!

>.< I use hot magnesium citrate to flush it down then stay on a bone broth, eggs, and some soft cooked meats for awhile and drink 16oz of warm water every 1-2hours most of the day. But my gut still randomly decided to hold onto food til I vomit it hours later....so far as long as I stay away from emulsifiers (guar gum, xantham gum, starches, agar. etc.) and spices stuff keeps flushing down the stomach. I have been dealing with random Gastroperesis like issues for years...I have honestly given in to comparing my stomach to a toilet and force flushing it via plenty of warm liquids hours later after giving it time to digest. I also take extra digestive enzymes to help break stuff down.
THIS IS IN NO WAY medical advice, just what I am doing as a stopgap measure til my GI doctor figures this out.

OMG I feel like less of a freak - thank you! Hot mag drink sounds really smart and I will try it tonight. Eggs are easy to eat (eve buy them from farmer who does not feed grain) and would help with energy. I've had 8 gut surgeries before figiei.g out that gluten was poisoning me....

Hi Laura,

Milk of Magnesia can help get things moving sometimes.   CVS also sell liquid magnesium drinks in small bottles.  Those are probably the nuclear option though.

Is it Gastroparesis or constipation?  If it is the stomach not emptying (vomiting often resolves it), I am not sure taking a laxative is going to help.

in any case, healing from celiac disease should help.  You have to avoid gluten at all costs.  Deviations from the diet can set you back (as you have discovered).  

Recovery for me is weeks or months.  Why?  Because gluten triggers an autoimmune reaction like RA or lupus.  The body will stop producing antibodies when it decides and not just when you eliminate gluten from the body.  

Be patient.  ?

Gastroparesis may be caused by thiamine deficiency.  

Hope this helps.

LauraP63,

To add to what Knitty Kitty said here are some links that might help you.

https://annals.org/aim/article-abstract/718014/gastrointestinal-beriberi-previously-unrecognized-syndrome

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29982183

This happens often because Beri Beri is great imitator of other diseases.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      mystery gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @AnneBSunflower! Can you be more specific about the gluten antibodies? Which ones were found? Do you have access to the report and can you post the results? What is a "GI map"? How was this done? Is this a fecal matter test? Are you still consuming oats? Even "Gluten-free" oats? Have you checked all meds and supplements for possible gluten fillers or casings? Oral hygiene products? Are you sharing cooking facilities with wheat eaters?

      mystery gluten?

      By AnneBSunflower · Posted

      Hi. I am looking for mystery gluten in my diet due to having a GI map done recently and the results found gluten antibodies. However, let me provide a bit of background. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's 15 years ago. Ten years ago I consulted with a functional medicine doctor who put me on the AIP diet due to gastrointestinal distress. She did not diagnose me with celiac disease, but my thyroid antibodies skyrocketed when we reintroduced gluten after 6 months on the AIP diet. I have been maintaining a gluten free diet for 10 years. I have on again, off again gut issues, cannot lose weight, chronic vitamin deficiencies despite a diet focused on whole foods, and my thyroid numbers are whacky even with medication (my T3 is good, T4 chronically low, TSH low). My doctor diagnosed me this week as having celiac in addition to the Hashimoto's. Again, I have been eating gluten free for 10 years. My doctor says there is something I am eating that my body is reacting to that has gluten and I have inflammation in my gut. I don't buy anything that is processed without reading the label and it stating it is gluten free. I know things like soy sauce, salad dressing, potato chips (I haven't eaten a potato chip in probably 30 years), roasted nuts, lunch meat, etc. can have gluten. What else? Does Armour Thyroid have gluten? Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage (doesn't say gluten free, but there are no ingredients that would indicate gluten)? Philadelphia Cream cheese plant-based cream cheese says it is gluten free but it contains maltodextrin, could this still be a source of gluten? If the plant-based cream cheese with maltodextrin could be a source of gluten, could anything labeled gluten free but containing maltodextrin still be a source of gluten?

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I struggled for a long time.   My TTG levels took an age to come down.  I even gave pure gluten free oats a miss, it took 8 years before I could tolerate them.  Removing dairy temporarily from my diet was hugely helpful.  Check your utensils and the oven you use are scrupulously clean, and don't open roast or bake food uncovered in an oven shared with gluten eaters.  Shared grills must be thoroughly cleaned down, too. Our oven packed up a couple of years after I was diagnosed and after that time the top oven became my family's oven, I use the lower oven.  Also our dishwasher - the old one left a residue, and sharing with gluten eaters I think this was an important factor in my slow recovery.  When the dishwasher packed up I started hand washing the plates and making sure they were really rinsed well.  When we got a new one we bought a Miele does the initial rinse with clean water, not yesterday's old water.   I stopped eating out for a while - that's a biggie.  In recent years, in the UK, thanks to Zoe's Law, caterers are having to really tighten up on catering for people with coeliac disease and allergies so I am now finding eating out much less risky.  But I'd advise being very careful with restaurants where flour is thrown about and is airborne (such as pizzerias) or where harried chefs might cook pasta in glutenous water by mistake, as those are the places I've been glutened in the most.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu
