Question about symptoms after being Glutened


Lsorel26

Recommended Posts

Lsorel26 Newbie

I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago, and have been 100% gluten free since. 
 

I was presented with food I was told was gluten free, but there was a big mistake and it was pure gluten.  
I vomited several times.  

My question though, is now, 3 days later, have mucous in my stool.  My assumption is that it is from the gluten, but my dad said because I vomited, the gluten didn’t make it that far.   But that can’t be true, right?  Some of it must have been digested? Enough to make me have mucous in my stool?

 Thanks in advance

Your dad is incorrect. The mucous in your stool is from the small bowel lining being damaged by inflammation in that area caused by the gluten and is a normal result of celiacs being "glutened".

It's probably a little late for this, but...

I was diagnosed as a celiac patient in early 2003 at the age of 55. It then became clear that I had had this disorder my entire life. After having eaten gluten free for the last nearly 20 years, I still respond strongly to gluten mistakes. I go years without making mistakes, but in the last 2 months this has occured 4 times. What I do, as soon as I become nauseous, is to just put a finger in my throat and throw up the meal. This works pretty well. If I don't do so, I usually also throw up an hour or two later, but then the gluten has invaded my whole system, which makes matters worse and affects my health for a few more days.

 My question is, Do other people also have this tactic: putting down your throat and throwing up, to get rid of the gluten as soon as possible? l don't see it mentioned here, but I think it is the best way to go.

It could work, but only if you discover the mistake within a short time after eating.

Thank you so much. I think I will continue doing so. I do wonder if by doing this, I teach my body to respond to gluten by throwing up. Even then, that won't concern me much, because getting the gluten out is the goal.

glutengek, how long is it between the time you eat something with hidden gluten and when the symptoms start?

It's usually about an hour and a half to two hours after ingesting gluten. It's purely accidental that I've made these 4 mistakes now, because truly I don't ingest gluten for years on end. I think my small intestine has therefore healed considerably. I was diagnosed at the time 2003, with Marsh IIIc, and my internist dr. told me that was probably the reason that I do respond always to a gluten mistake, even if it is small, and 3 of the 4 mistakes were small, like some gluten from spices which contained gluten.

For me it was about three hours from ingesting to throwing up. and mine wasn’t a hidden exposure but rather a flat out mistake.

Keep in mind that if you were to induce vomiting on a regular basis it could damage your esophagus and cause other issues, as stomach acid isn't meant to go there.

Including the destruction of tooth enamel. But, if you only get glutened occasionally it's probably not an issue. Just don't aspirate the vomit.

. I did not experience much acidity, but I understand what you mean about aspirating vomit. That would lead to pneumonia. Thank you so much for your replies. They contribute to understanding the matter.  I will continue to do my utmost to avoid these mistakes, and hope it will be a few years for the next one. Adhering as strictly as possible to the diet promotes a life of physical as  mental wellbeing. The fewer mistakes one makes, the better. That much is clear.

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.

      For the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, they said 7 days of gluten. So I did 8...fast food and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. For the earlier blood test, the younger doctor said I didn't have to. My immune system went down, I was in the bathroom a lot, and as my wife said my brain wasn't braining.
