Hi all,  I am new to forum, but was diagnosed with celiac disease over 20 years ago.  Going gluten-free cleared up many things I thought were normal as well as my chronic anemia.  I tend to be a little overweight, IDK why. I'm 67 years old, retired .

 any way, my concern right now is, 3 weeks ago I got glutened at a restaurant, I take some responsibility for it. tho my husband said I can never go back there. I  had a pretty severe bout of vomitting for a couple of hours.  fast forward 2 weeks, now I am experiencing burping(big burps) when I stand up, very gassy with gas pains and some diarrhea. I feel fine otherwise . since going gluten-free, I have been way less gassy , until now.

 Is this something anyone else has experienced?  how did you treat it?  and EEK I' going camping for a few days, crazy I know.  Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts/experiences

I often takes two weeks to recover from a glutening espisode.

Yes, and the article below may be helpful. I always take GliadinX enzymes before eating outside my house (full disclosure, they are a sponsor here), as their AN-PEP base enzyme has been shown in many studies to break down small amounts of gluten, like you might get when eating a "gluten-free" meal in a restaurant, in the stomach, before it reaches your intestines.

The article above, Ten Things to Try if You Accidentally Ingest Gluten, includes rice milk as something soothing.  They may have changed things, but last time I checked rice milk might qualify as gluten-free, but it may not be wheat-free....  20 years ago my doctor pushed me to add rice milk to my diet and it made me sick... Turned out that the enzymes they used included wheat.  Some of us are unable to tolerate wheat in any form, with or without gluten!  I also cannot tolerate grain alcohol or grain vinegars, all of which are supposed to be GLuten FRee.  And look out for Xanthum Gum which can cause celiac-like symptoms in sensitive individuals and is included in almost ALL gluten-free baking mixes.  Broth BROTH Broth!  I make Ginger Beef Soup whenever I have a bad experience eating out.

There are many brands of rice milk now, and the biggest one is probably Rice Dream, which is gluten-free:

I have never tried rice milk, will consider doing so.  usually when I feel like I've had an exposure I go to yogurt and grits.  fortunately I have no issues with alcohol or gluten-free baking mixes; I use red wine vinegar .   This time was just very extreme, but it seems to have resolved. 

 Thank you for your suggestions

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.

      I have never been tested for tTg 6 antibodies but I will certainly do that next time I'm at the doc's.  Maybe there's a home test kit for that?  I drink lactose free milk and seem to be ok so I'm probably not a casein case but...who knows?!
