We ate at an Italian restaurant last night. They have home made gluten free pasta which I have had many times. Unfortunately someone made a mistake abd gave me regular pasta. I woke up in the middle of the night with every symptom I've ever had magnified 10 times due to the fact that I ate a whole serving.  I feel so stupid for not noticing. Does anyone have suggestions as how to get it out if my system faster or how to lesson the symptoms? I've got a horrible headache, joint pain. Sharp pains in my stomach which have been traveling up and down, and diareah.  I'm also very foggy and I can't concentrate on anything. 

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I'd say drink lots of water,  and get as much rest as you can.

Someone on this forum once advised me to keep eating, they felt it helped move things along faster, and I would agree with that.

If the diarrhea continues for a while, you may wish to get some gluten free rehydration salts to replace salts and sugars lost, you probably know the ones - you add them to water.  If you don't have any in the house, there are a lot of recipes online.

Feel better soon.

Thank you so much. I've been drinking water. I'll try to eat today. And definately some rehydration salts.

A pleasure. 

You may not have the same issue, but there is one symptom that I find follows on from a glutening - I get a burning sensation in my stomach for a few days.  If this happens to you, what I do is try to follow a gastritis/reflux diet for a while, avoiding spicy and fatty food, acid fruit, alcohol and caffeine.  Small regular meals are helpful.

I find gluten-free chicken broth very comforting, or you can cook up a crockpot of slow cooked root vegetables and chicken with herbs, very slowly at a lower temperature so it is literally falling apart.  It's easy to digest and healing.

Come back to us if you need any further help.

Hi Cristiana, 

Thanks for reaching out. All of that is great info. At the risk of being to graphic and gross I'm beyond diareah at this point. Being a Sunday I have no doctor to ask. I've never had anything this bad. It's now turned into sharp stabbing pains followed by yellow liquid. It's 2pm here in florida and all I've eaten is a scrambled egg and some tea at 9am. I'm trying  to keep drinking water and I've got some hemp milk. I don't know how to stop this yellow liquid from coming out.  Is there anyone out there with ideas ? I'm getting desperate.

I am sorry - I live in the UK so I don't know what services exist in Florida.  If I was in your situation and was worried, here I'd be inclined, on a Sunday, to ring an out of hours medical line, it's called 111.

Or if I was really worried take myself to Accident and Emergency at my local hospital.

Is there any sort of out of hours service you can call where you live for advice, or maybe call the local hospital to see if they can help?

I think seeking medical advice is very important if things continue much longer.  In the meantime, keep hydrated and rest as much as you can.

I am turning in soon, it's 9.30 pm here in the UK so things will go quiet from me now.  Take care, and hope things improve soon.

      Has anyone found Ozempic affected their symptoms?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Could be the Ozampic is masking your expected symptoms.  Like an analgesic masks pain.  Qzampic slows digestion to lower the rate glucose enters the intestine to slow its effect on glucose level.  It seems it might also slow down the gluten entry into the intestine, reducing its trigger level for the antibodies.  Ultimately the damage from gluten is the same, just not as fast so the pain is less.  Sourdough bread has less gluten.  Ozampic siows its entry.

      You can sell it better if the whole family does gluten free.  If he does have Celiac Diease, it is genetic so either you, your spouse, or both have a 40% chance of also having Celiac.  There are over 200 non classic symptoms also caused by celiac disease not often considered by doctors. Joint pain, muscle pain, muscle cramps, osteoporosis, and allergies for starters.

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

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @MHavoc, thank you for your question and welcome to the clinic. First, has the contstipation abated with the GFD? If your are pursuing further diagnostics you must continue to eat gluten. Each lab has their own reference range for their test, but they indicate an H for high.  Typically anything above 11 is considered positive. Mild chronic inflammation (gastritis) can interfere with intrinsic factor for B12 leading to low B12 causing low MCHC (anemia). So what is causing your gastritis?  A high tTG IgA level generally indicates potential gastrointestinal problems most commonly associated with celiac disease.  Although the biopsy is the Gold Standard for diagnosis, not finding damage in the biopsy does not rule out Celiac Disease. It means they did not find damage where they looked.  The small intestine is over 20 feet long. Many here have been blood positive and biopsy negative, it just delays the diagnosis until you have enough damage to find and fit their diagnostic profile. The Ttg-iga is not only sensitive (90%) but highly specific (98%) and won’t show positive until the damage is severe.  It is estimated that 40% of first degree relatives of diagnosed Celiacs have undiagnosed Celiac Disease, so your sister is a big risk factor in whether you have it. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?  This article explains it better and is quite readable. Celiac Disease can cause deficient vitamin D.  Low vitamin D compromises the immune system.  Any other symptoms? liver enzymes?  Recent cold or flue? Celiac Disease and the malabsorption it causes through vitamin and mineral deficiencies can elicit symptoms not usually associated with Celiac Disease. Case in point maybe your gastritis and anemia.

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

      As with most of the people that come here, I have questions and need perspective/info from this wonderful community.  Some background, started having severe constipation that would not abate even with softners (not really fun to talk about), so I was able to finally get in to see my primary and she scheduled some blood work.  One of things she wanted to test for is Celiac Disease due to my sister having celiac disease since a young child. Here are my test results: MCHC = 31.4 so considered slightly low TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA = 78.8 H So with that result, I was scheduled for an endoscope for confirmation of celiac disease, but I am very confused with the results: Diagnosis 1. Duodenum, biopsy: -No pathologic alteration. 2. Stomach, biopsy: -Mild chronic inflammation with reactive epithelial change -H. pylori not identified on immunostained section. -No intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia I am now scheduled to meet with a GI Specialist from the Celiac team, but that won't be until after the New Year.  I would appreciate thoughts about the biopsy report to understand whether it confirms the celiac disease as was indicated by the blood test results. I have been gluten free for two weeks and it is a very difficult adjustment for me as an older 50+ person.
