Was I Glutened?

Today I woke up really tired, and in the bathroom again! I was fine last night, so I guess my question is if I ate something wouldn't I have reacted sooner than this morning? Also, if I did I can't figure out what it was! I have been really carefull, if I continue to be so carefull and this keeps happening, its going to drive me batty! Am I just detoxing or still symptomatic because I just started on the 15th or so?

Sorry you're feeling so rotten. It does make it really tough, but many people have delayed reactions to gluten. That's one of the reasons to try new things one by one with only sure things in between, so you can pinpoint the culprits. It's hard, though!

Hang in there,

Leah

I'm experiencing the same thing- I've been very careful as well, but there's no telling if it was a bit of cross-contamination or if it's a touch of a stomach bug or just early PMS. Regardless, I'm gassy, gurgly, rumbly, and fuzzy in the head. Usually my gluten reactions hit the very next morning but this started late afternoon yesterday so I'm stumped.

It's indeed a bummer, but to a certain extent it's to be expected as part of the gluten-free "lifestyle". At least I can take solace in knowing that the way I feel today is the way I used to feel EVERY day before going gluten-free. Ick! I can't believe I lived like that for so long.

I'm sorry that you guys are having such a terrible time. It takes at least a year for a full recovery. Your body has to go through so many adjustments. Plus, you have to go through a lot of mental adjustments. Not to mention the learning process of keeping gluten out of your system. It's a lot of trial and error. One problem is that newly diagnosed people have a tendency to get glutened. In time, you will get the hang of things, trust me. As time passes, your body won't feel as tired or sick. The positive thing is that at least you know what's wrong. Back in the day, doctor's took a long time to diagnose Celiac's. This happened to me. I spent a week in the hospital, before they figured it out. I was 108 pounds. So, try and be positive! :) Keep posting messages, because everyone is here to help! Please take care and good luck! :)

Sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. Have you changed your products like makeup? Things like that could have glutened you. I know the feeling of being glutened at it is never fun so I hope you feel better soon

I'm new to this too. Diagnosed and gluten free in early July. Everyone has different recovery times. I've heard everything from 3 months to 2 years. What I can tell you is after only two weeks, you're still on the roller coaster.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
