Glutened?

Hi Everyone, 

I have been gluten free for about 6 week and been feeling so much better. 

Last night I went out for a family meal, I wasn't keen on going but they picked a place that is accredited by coeliac UK so that helped. I had a gluten free pizza which was good and it was square to show it was gluten free, Everything seemed fine. 

Last night I felt abit run down but thought nothing off it, however this morning I feel terrible, I'm very gassy (more than before diagnosis), I have bad stomach cramps and I'm extremely tired.

Does this sound like I have had gluten? Part of me thinks it does but then I'm kind of in denial about it too as it was an accredited restaurant. 

 

Thanks 

 

Will

It is a real challenge to answer your question because these symptoms could certainly be related to gluten ingestion but people who do not have celiac disease experience occasionally these symptoms for many other reasons. Unfortunately, there is a constant second guessing every time something does not feel right and often it is not possible to identify if gluten is the culprit or not.

i would guess lactose intolerance before glutening. but yeah it could have just been too much grease in the pizza

Hi both, 

Yeah I get that it's hard to know especially when it hasn't happened to me since being gluten free. Today is the first day that the pain and my stomach seem better so I think it was gluten from something but I have no idea if it was the restaurant or not. 

I do get some gas after lactose and my Dr said its common in new coeliacs but it's normally just a a few hours never days. 

Thanks

I would definitely think the most likely source of the problem is lactose. For about 6 months after I was diagnosed I couldn't tolerate lactose. Now, years later and healed, I can eat dairy no problem.

I ate at a mixed restaurant a few months after diagnosis that had gluten-free pizza. My neuropathy and left arm numbing told me I was cc about 30 minutes later. The GI symptoms arrived a bit later.

We can be cc even if it says gluten-free on the menu if it is shared kitchen.

Hope you feel better soon regardless of cc or lactose.

      What do my test results mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @HWB, Have you been checked for SIBO?  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth will cause constipation and chemically breath.   The best way to get rid of SIBO is to go on a ketogenic/Paleo diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  It starves out the carbohydrate loving bacteria and allows good bacteria to repopulate the small intestine.   The SIBO bacteria can communicate with the brain along the gut-brain axis, making you crave carbs, and in return, the SIBO bacteria can mess with your immune system by lowering inflammation and producing endorphins.  So, it's no wonder you feel better eating sugar.   I took high dose (500-1000 mg/day) Benfotiamine (Thiamine) which promotes intestinal healing and helps keep bacterial in check.  Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses (500-1000 mg) every day are required to get results.  The body responds differently to high doses.  Got rid of my SIBO like this.  It was tough, but Celiac makes you stronger.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Nighttime Soiling (5 year old)

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      Scientists have discovered a cause of inflammatory bowel disease. They said it's a 'holy grail' discovery that could transform other autoimmune treatments.

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-
