Got Glutened - It's So True!

Hello!

I've been gluten, dairy and egg free now for a couple of months (I think) - tested some chocolate blamange on holiday, and know that dairy def gives me D now! So now I believe that.

Was thinking about trying some bread, just to see if anything happened to me - but last night, for yesterday lunch, and night before, I'd done a stir fry with plum and hoi sin sauce (totally forgetting for the first time to read the ingredients!).

all day yesterday my stomach was making horrific noises (am known for my loud tummy rumblings!), which I realised it'd not done for quite a while. then after eating last night i was just so bloated and in a bit of pain, and in a foul foul foul irritable mood! thought it was just me being a cow, and eating too much, then read the hoi sin sauce and found it had wheat flour in it!

weird that some things seem to have cleared up that i didn't really notice as being a problem (loud stomach noises), until I get them again!

so now I also believe that wheat gluteny stuff is def a problem! can't believe i felt like i did last night for ages before i did the blood test and just thought it was normal!

hurrah!

Well, here you did your gluten challenge and didn't even mean to! I'm glad it gave you confirmation of definite gluten intolerance. But you better be more careful in the future!

Yep! You don't realize some of those things are gone until you mess up! :)

I will be more careful..had been so good, not even cheated at all (apart from on holiday once, but that as just to test it out...honest)

my cravings for things seem to have gone to be honest..everynow and then would love a big fat sandwich, or something covered in cheese..but then i can have lots of rice and meat! is getting a bit monotonous though..i dont even crave potatos anymore..which i can still eat and used to eat tonnes of them. brown rice is the way forward!

need to have a bash at making some pastry though or something so I can make a pie.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
