What Symptoms With A Glutening Do You Experience?

I'm still new to the diet, but tried to challenge on Thursday. (bagel) It was weird. Nothing really seemed to happen (digestively speaking). I was in a bad brain fog and my head hurt starting that night and through ALL of Friday like a hangover. And I was constipated. And I had a bad night sweat Thursday night. But what I expected--severe diarrhea, cramping, bloating...didn't happen until Friday night/Saturday morning. I'm wondering if that was the gluten or something else. But man..sorry to go into such detail...but I spent 5 hours in/out the bathroom Saturday morning between 5am-10am. Racing thoughts that kept me awake once that finally stopped.

So...am I out of the ordinary? What is to be expected when this happens? I haven't had my results back from Enterolab yet, but am back gluten-free until I get them, at least. Part of me hopes this is really the problem, so I can feel better.

Hi, and welcome to this board. Everybody reacts somewhat differently to gluten. When I first found out about the celiac disease, I'd get the horrible diarrhea within 20 minutes. Now I have an extremely delayed reaction, and won't get it until a week later, lasting about two days.

So, I believe that you had a somewhat delayed reaction on Saturday. Which is obviously not unusual.

Welcome!

I get diarrhea, it used to be immediate, but now it's delayed until the next day. Also, brain fog, fatigue, rash, stomach hurts and makes a lot of noise. I can feel fatigued for as long as a week.

Food might just naturally move slower through your GI system, causing a delayed reaction in the diarrhea, cramping etc. When you are eating gluten on a regular basis, it is constantly moving in and out of your system. When you're gluten free and then do a challenge, your body has to decide what to do with it and how to react. So in that respect it sounds like your symptoms are completely normal for being glutened.

For me it was mostly intestinal issues - everything turned to cement, and stayed that way :( The "big D" would have been welcomed.

I have yet to get a glutening AFAIK, since I never eat anything I haven't prepared for myself from scratch. My last experiment showed an even worse reaction than when I was eating wheat regularly, which is apparently quite common. I know I'll never purposly touch the stuff again!

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking that the challenge confirms my suspicion that I am sensitive...I have Enterolab results coming to me in about 2 weeks to prove it. But I'm staying away! On to a healthier life....

What would I do without my message board buddies? :D

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70.

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Hey all!

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.

      Thanks. I ve joined coeliac uk but found them particularly unhelpful - they told me to eat gluten for 6 weeks then have an  endoscopy! I m actually a retired hospital dietician so pretty well know what I m doing…… Louise
