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.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
