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?

Yes we have urgent care here. That's a good suggestion. If im.not better tomorrow I'll take myself in there. You are so kind to try to 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.

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.
