Any Ideas?

Hi everyone. I'm kinda new here and I hope I'm putting this in the right area.

I just had a weird thing happen and I'm wondering if any of you have had it happen or any guesses as to what it is.

I was out spreading some polyester resin on an old Beetle that I'm restoring (I was fiberglassing a floorboard) and after a couple of minutes I started to feel really sick like I'd just some gluten. The stomach pain, the gas, the nausea, the works.

There aren't any ingredients on the stupid can of resin and the last time I did fiberglassing it didn't bother me at all - I have to admit that was several years ago.

Anyway, I am really mystified as to what made me sick. It doesn't seem like resin fumes should make me feel like I've eaten a loaf of bread. Any ideas? :unsure:

Oh, I'm very sure I didn't eat anything to cause this, I'd eaten a couple of hours before and I get sick very fast when I've made a mistake.

Well, if drywall can cause mystery glutenings, I imagine fiberglass/resin could too. I'd call the company and ask if wheat, barley, rye, or oats is an ingredient.

I wonder if resin contains any glue. I've just read that even industrial strength glue is made from gluten, as it's very sticky (no wonder it gums up our insides).

I second Ursula. A lot of glues have gluten in them....hmmm...glue - gluten....they even sound the same! I would suspect resin couldn't be much different.

Thanks much for the input, I really appreciate it. It's a little tough at times to know what to be careful of. I was sick for two nights until I realized it was my toothpaste, go figure. :P

I was having similar thoughts about the glue/resin things but I couldn't find any information on the net. I didn't know about the industrial strength glue, though. I'll give the company a call and find out for sure.

Guhlia mentioned drywall causing a reaction - I can't imagine such a thing but it makes me feel a little less strange.

      High Folate Levels

      By Tyoung · Posted

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of my levels are now normal, but folate level is >24ng/mL. Has anyone else had similar results? If so were you able to figure out why or how to normalize them? I also have been having constant acid reflux since about two weeks into going gluten free (no acid reflux history prior to) that we are trying to get to the bottom of with no answers. Could that be related? Thank you!! Also wanted to not that I am not eating any gluten free processed food.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Did you take a look at my pics that I uploaded?    These rashes is not itchy, but I have seen that people have this too that have celiac and it’s not itchy for them either. I have also heard that sulfur burps are a common things with celiac too.  Yes it can be something else too but it’s to much symptoms that I have that match with either gluten sensitivity or celiac.   Hopefully it’s just gluten intolerance and not celiac.  As I said before I have the gen type for celiac and diabetes typ 1 and the those diseases going hand in hand.    Thanks again Trent for your time to reply, and I wonder if any body else have kind of the same symptoms that I have?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?
