Question About Being Glutened!

Hey there peoples

I have been fairly well since my last posts in early 06 after defeating a helicobacter stomach infection on top of celiac healing..

I Have had a strict 0% gluten diet and have been fairly well over last few months, i just feel i have received several glutenings at my girlfriends place just over a week ago... i keep getting a nauseous / quivering feeling where i think im about to throwup, ive honestly never had that before , its revolting... sure ive had diareohea/bowel problems but this is more stomach felt and behind the ribs...

my main question is that if a celiac is glutened can symptoms last for over a week? and also does the glutening damage and inflame his/her stomach ? or is it something your over with after two days or so..

i dont know whether to put it down to my gluten poisening and just think , dont worry your stomachs been damaged just chill out and cope with it... or go to the doctors and get a blood / sample test ...

any help much appreciated guys!!!

cheers

I have heard other people on here talk about being sick for a week or more after being glutened. And if there were several in a short period of time, it would make sense to me that you'd be looking at a longer recovery time.

Maybe you could keep some gluten-free only cooking items at your girlfriend's place?

My stomach definitely gets inflamed when glutened. I doubt that you need a doctor, you just need to wait it out, don't eat anything that would be hard on your stomach for a bit, avoid gluten, and you'll be fine.

And yes, you can have symptoms from ONE glutening for two weeks, never mind several in a row.

Yea unfortunately it can last a while. I found that PeptoBismal helped me a bit with this.

I use Zofran or Phenegran when I am so nauseated that it affects my work...as a teacher I can't go home early very easily! You can get these from you dr. Only take Phenegran if you can sleep...it makes you sleepy but definitely makes the nausea go away.

If it doesn't clear up in a few weeks then I would see a dr but for now you probably just need to wait it out and be more careful of what you eat. I think I tend to get careless and then if I get glutened I am more picky about what I eat!

Hang in there!

I get the nausea and feelings of wanting to throw up when gluttened. I take Dramamine and sometimes pepto bismol too if it is bad. Dramamine works great for me and they have a less drowsy formula.

I am still trying to figure out how long it lasts for me, but at least 3-4 days.

I am an old pro at this--5 yrs gluten free this month. Yeah, it can last 2 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and when the nausea and diarrhea go away for me, then my tummy hurts, like a huge black and blue for days. It's never fun being glutened and it will happen from time to time. Take care. Deb

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?

      Negative biopsy and seeking doctor recs in Los Angeles

      By englishbunny · Posted

      I'm upset & confused and really need help finding a new gastro who specializes in celiac in California.  Also will welcome any insights on my results. I tested with an isolated positive for deamidated IGA a few months ago (it was 124.3, all other values on celiac panel <1.0), I also have low ferritin and Hashimotos. Mild gastro symptoms which don't seem to get significantly worse with gluten but I can't really tell... my main issues being extreme fatigue and joint pain. The celiac panel was done by my endocrinologist to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and I was shocked to have a positive result. Just got negative biposy result from endoscopy. Doctor only took two biopsies from small intestine (from an area that appeared red), and both are normal. Problem is his Physician's Assistant can't give me an answer whether I have celiac or not, or what possible reason I might have for having positive antibodies if I don't have it. She wants me to retest bloods in a month and says in the meantime to either "eat gluten or not, it's up to you, but your bloodwork won't be accurate if you don't" I asked if it could be I have early stage celiac so the damage is patchy and missed by only having two samples taken, and she said doctor would've seen damaged areas when performing endoscopy (?) and that it's a good sign if my whole intestine isn't damaged all over, so even if there is spotty damage I am fine.  This doesn't exactly seem satisfactory, and seems to be contrary to so much of the reading and research I have done. I haven't seen the doctor except at my endoscopy, and he was pretty arrogant and didn't take much time to talk. I can't see him or even talk to him for another month. I'm really confused about what I should do. I don't want to just "wait and see" if I have celiac and do real damage in the meantime. Because I know celiac is more that just 'not eating bread' and if I am going to make such a huge lifestyle adjustment I need an actual diagnosis. So in summary I want to find another doctor in CA, preferably Los Angeles but I don't care at this stage if they can do telehealth! I just need some real answers from someone who doesn't talk in riddles. So recommendations would be highly welcomed. I have Blue Shield CA insurance, loads of gastros in LA don’t take insurance at all 😣

      Oats gluten free?

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, Lori, we can agree on the term "gluten-like". My concern here is that you and other celiacs who do experience celiac reactions to other grains besides wheat, barley and rye are trying to make this normative for the whole celiac community when it isn't. And using the term "gluten" to refer to these other grain proteins is going to be confusing to new celiacs trying to figure out what grains they actually do need to avoid and which they don't. Your experience is not normative so please don't proselytize as if it were.

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

      By Levi · Posted

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.
