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.

      Coping with celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your daughter's results, along with her symptoms and family history, certainly suggest further investigation for celiac disease is warranted. The low total IgA can explain why some IgA-based tests, like tTG-IgA, are negative, as there's simply not enough IgA in her system for reliable results. The weak positive tTG-IgG is notable, especially with her symptoms and the vitamin D deficiency, which is common in celiac disease due to malabsorption. I’d recommend discussing these results with her doctor or a gastroenterologist. They may suggest an endoscopy with biopsy for a definitive diagnosis or explore other potential causes for her symptoms. Meanwhile, keeping a food and symptom diary can help track patterns until a formal diagnosis is made. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Complexities in second and third autoimmune disorders attached to ceoliac.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you for sharing your story—it really highlights the lifelong challenges of living with celiac disease, especially during a time when gluten-free options were nearly nonexistent. It’s heartbreaking to hear about your mother’s struggles and the severe health complications she faced, and I completely agree that more research is needed into the long-term effects of celiac and its associated autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s. The cost and availability of healthy, truly gluten-free foods remain a huge issue, and navigating hidden gluten and cross-contamination can make social situations and even eating out incredibly stressful. I also share your frustration with the lack of understanding among some medical professionals and the difficulty in finding specialists who truly get it. Your point about the need for affordable medical treatments, food vouchers, and better resources like travel guides for celiacs is spot on. Hopefully, as awareness grows, there will be more support for people facing these challenges. Thank you for raising such important issues! You should find a new GP in the New Year, because you cannot cure celiac disease by detoxing/cleaning your gut, and there is a lot of junk science out there which makes claims like this one.

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Scallop medallions should be gluten-free, even if they used meat glue (transglutaminase) to make them, and not everyone who has celiac disease will react to meat glue, but some might. The likelihood of scallops containing transglutaminase is relatively low, as fresh or frozen scallops are typically sold without additives. However, some processed scallop medallions, especially those shaped or reformed, may use transglutaminase as a binding agent. It’s always a good idea to check the label or contact the manufacturer to confirm. The article below has more info.
