Symptoms after being “glutened”

I have celiac and over the past weekend I was at a wedding and unknowingly got glutened with potatoes. 
 

i was wondering does anyone feel this way after being glutened? Or do you think it might be something other than celiac 

Sunday the day after the wedding my hands were red, I was bloated, and felt weak. Monday through today, I have had the worst body aches, not being able to have a strong grip, aching joints (hands bright red), face turning bright red and hot. My hands feel like they’ve been crushed by bricks and the rest of my body feels like I’ve been in an accident and my legs feel like I just did the most intense leg workout. 
 

since I’ve felt sick all this week, I’ve taken it very easy, so I know the body aches aren’t from me doing physical activity.

 

any help, advice, or insight is appreciated!

Because of the red, hot face and hands it sounds more like an allergic reaction than it does a glutening.

I thought that too, but I haven’t had anything different other than being glutened and the red hot face happened a day or two later. 
 

not sure what these other symptoms are though.

You can develop allergies at any time of life.

Hello there TB93

I hope you do feel better soon.

I do get chills where my face gets red, and I feel hot and cold throughout my body, about 1-2 hours after glutening but I don't think I've ever experienced it after a day.  I don't suppose there is a chance you were glutened after the wedding?

I suppose as well it could be a viral infection?

In the past, has gluten caused body aches, chills etc for you?

Thank you. Maybe? But I’m very strict in my house with not allowing gluten and I’ve only been eating at home.

Don’t think so…I’m only 30.

@TB93,

I think it was the potatoes.  Potatoes and other nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers) contain alkaloids that promote "leaky gut" and inflammation.

I get achy joints and swelling.  My hands get so puffy and stuff I can't knit! 

I hope you feel better!  Drink plenty of fluids.  Vitamins C, B12, and Pyridoxine B6 can help reduce histamine levels which helps reduce inflammation.  Vitamin D can help reduce inflammation, too.  

Keep us posted on your progress!

Potatoes do not have gluten, but they are nightshade plants which contain poisonous alkaloids. Persons with genetic mutations on the BCHE gene are especially susceptible. (see "butyrylcholinesterace deficiency," and a few variations on that name.)   Any potato skin with green should be discarded, and never eat raw potatoes. I suggest avoiding all nightshade plants for a while and see if you feel better. Also, you can get your genes tested (I used Promethease and 23andMe raw data, but Promethease has now merged with another company) to see if you have a BCHE mutation. Green potatoes are actually toxic for everyone, however. The green itself is chlorophyll but it signifies the presence of solanine, which is the toxic part.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
