Hey i was just wondering if any of you had gluten intolerance after food poisoning. If not then did the symptoms just come on gradually or were they triggered by somethingelse. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

I think my gluten intolerance came on gradually. When I was younger, like in my teenage years, I am sure I had symptoms, not too bad, but looking back they were there. You know crampy stomach, brittle nails, low iron levels at time, depressed etc etc.

Over the last few years, before diagnosis, I have probably had food poisoning or something similar a couple of times. Where the rest of the family would have it for 24 hours, for me it would last about 4 days, and even after that I would have to be careful what I ate. Having said that it would probably look like a tummy bug could bump the intoloerance along, but I think it is just that my stomach was not as good as it could've been, so it took longer to get over a bug.

My husband Ric became gluten intolerant in his 50s. No one in is family that we know of has Celiac. We think it may have been triggered by over use of antibiotics. He was seeing a dermatologist for many years who kept switching his meds. After getting no results from doctors, I found this web site and he tried a gluten-free diet with great results (he is not officially diagnosed Celiac). This acne also cleared up after doing gluten-free.

My probs started with typhiod and my stomach just never got better .. it took my a year to discover it awas gluten (living in Africa made it easier because I ate only fresh food) ... and 3 years after that to actually admit to myself it was probably coeliac and get tested.

However Im sure i already had it 20/20 hindsight is wonderful! Now I look back the symptoms were obvious but I guess the thing is they build up then you get a real knockback (typhiod is just a particular strain of salmonella) and this pushes you over the edge.

I agree with you, for me , coeliac built up slowly, and then something happened, and your body probably can't deal with the extra stress, and wham, you realise that something is wrong besides the stomach upset because it takes forever to come back normal, as in energy etc.

I think child birth might have triggered mine. However, it was seven years between the birth and when my body shut down (had no vili standing). Started to get really sick after I started drinking coffee!

It definitely could be triggered by food poisoning. I think I had mild symptoms for years. Then I got the flu, and it must have been immune system overload, and I never got better. Now, a year and a half later, I'm thankful that I got the flu and ended up so sick because it means I got diagnosed. Now I feel better than I have in probably eight years. I just wasn't sick enough for most of those eight years to realize that something was seriously wrong.

      Symptoms and trying to figure this out

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Also ask for a test of vitamin D levels. I agree with knitty kitty that cyclical Thiamine deficiency may be the cause of your cycle.  Celiac Disease causes multiple vitamin and mineral deficiencies.   Itchy palms can be a symptom of iodine deficiency.  Low iodine levels can lead to dry, flaky skin on the hands and  body due to the disruption of normal skin cell regeneration caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production, which relies on iodine. Other symptoms are   fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold. I take between 600 and 1200 mcg a day Liquid Iodine. It has improved my healing.  Strong Iodine and Lugols Solution are other options.  Start low and build up over time. Between 1970 and 1988 the dietary intake of Americans dropped by 50%. Perhaps this is why some can tolerate the bread in Europe?

      Be cautious with vitamin D if you are female and post-menopausal.  I had to decrease my D dosage from 4000 IU/day to 2000 IU because of hormonal acne and unwanted facial hair - likely from an increased testosterone level from the D.  Finally relief!  I hope to keep my D level below 50 nm/l now.

      Coping with celiac

      You may want to wear an N-95 mask to filter out any possible gluten, at least when you handle the flour.

      It sounds like you've been on quite the journey trying to understand your symptoms and diagnosis. It’s great that you’re planning to consult a doctor for allergy testing, as distinguishing between a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or another gluten-related condition is crucial for moving forward. The fact that you’ve tolerated barley and wheat products without recent symptoms might suggest something other than celiac disease, but as you noted, the absence of immediate symptoms doesn’t necessarily rule out potential underlying damage, especially if celiac disease is still a possibility. It’s worth discussing whether you should undergo updated testing, such as genetic testing for celiac markers (HLA-DQ2/DQ8), or even revisiting an endoscopy if appropriate. In the meantime, keep documenting your experiences with food and symptoms—it could provide valuable insights for your healthcare provider. It’s also important to test for other possible causes of your original symptoms, like IBS, food intolerances, or even other autoimmune conditions, to ensure nothing is overlooked.
