Does This Sound Normal?

I feel physically and mentally absolutely terrible. My muscles are tender to touch. Im extremely exhausted. I can’t focus or work. Yesterday I was in the bathroom all day. Is this a normal reaction to gluten consumption even if it’s not a huge amount?  If so how long does this last? Ive been in tears I feel so poorly and I’m scared I’m not going to get back to my normal.

People with celiac disease who go gluten-free, then accidentally or purposefully eat gluten months or years afterwards tend to have a wide range of reactions. Some have no reaction at all, perhaps because their gut is fully healed, while others have nearly instant reactions that are very bad and last for days or weeks.

This may be a bit late, but this article may be helpful:

Are you eating at Restaurants off Gluten free menus?

Or eating packaged foods that are not labeled "Certified Gluten Free"

Then you're eating gluten from Restaurants. You can't eat from gluten free menus from Restaurants regularly. You will eventually be eating Gluten.

So you feel like these physical symptoms are a reaction to gluten?

Probably if you have Celiac.

I haven't been eating gluten for 1 year and 9 months and still don't feel 100% yet.   And I never eat at restaurants... 

What's your anti body levels..

Stop eating at restaurants from gluten free menus.

Don't eat anything packaged that isn't certified gluten free.

      Muscle Twitching

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      Happy Thanksgiving!

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
