Can effects of glutening be variable over time? Or is it separate glutenings?

Hi, apologies in advance if this has been asked before:

I went out for sushi with my wife on Saturday, and I accidentally dipped one piece into the soy sauce and ate it, due to old habits. As well, I put a piece of cake in my mouth thinking it was egg omelet. I spit it out (my wife was horrified) but I think I did ingest some of it.

On Sunday morning I felt pretty rough and thought it might be because I stayed up a couple of hours past my normal bed time. We went out shopping in the morning, and then came home for lunch. After lunch I felt pretty crappy and took a 1 hour crash nap. Sunday night I got a good solid sleep, and on Monday I felt pretty good. First day in months I didn't need a nap. (I have a fatigue issue that I haven't figured out yet.) Then on Tuesday (today) I again felt pretty crappy. I struggled through work and needed another 1 hour crash nap. And more naps after that. I also had a pretty loose BM, which is something that has become a lot more rare since cutting out all gluten.

My question is, can the effects of a glutening be variable over time, with good days and bad days? Or did I somehow get glutened a second time yesterday?

Or maybe it's something else altogether, I might have reactivated EBV, and I might have ME/CFS too. I haven't been diagnosed as celiac, but I'm definitely sensitive to gluten. (I'm going to do the gene tests first before trying a gluten challenge in a couple of months. Not looking forward to eating gluten every day.)

TIA,

Marcel

I'm sorry you got glutened! The article below may be helpful, but it's likely too late for this episode.

Just like symptoms for celiac disease can vary greatly from person to person, so can the symptoms of glutening. For some they have few symptoms, and sometimes none, but for others the symptoms can be almost immediate and severe. It is quite common for them to last days, and for those with the DH skin condition, even weeks.

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
