First Time Glutenated After 8 Days Gluten Free

I went out to dinner. I had previously looked up the gluten free menu, and also called the restaurant. On my way out, I forgot the info at homeg (I wrote it down) and thought I'd surely be able to rely on my memory (I'd been over it several times.)

I was getting the salmon, veggies, and mashed potatoes and it was confirmed to be free from gluten.

After dinner, and right before we left, I had to go to the bathroom (probably 45 minutes after eating my meal.) Interestingly enough I had the same BM types that I had prior to going gluten free. Malformed, a bit foul smelling, etc. I wasn't in pain, and it was certainly better than it ever used to be, but still I found it odd that it happened b/c it hadn't happened at all since going gluten free (ok sorry if that was TMI!)

So I get home and look at what I wrote down, and sure as you-know-what I WAS glutenated because the mashed potatoes had gravy (and I wrote NO gravy on my paper, and I remember them telling me that also.)

When I ordered though, I had remembered wrong, I forgot about the gravy :blink:

Furthermore, strangely, shortly after I went to the bathroom, I became ravenous for food, almost like I hadn't even eaten (again, something that hasn't happened in that manner, since going gluten free, but became a regular occurance over the last six or so months.)

I found it all so amazing - in almost a good way, that my body responded that way because the proof's in the pudding so to speak. Crazy, interesting, huh? LUCKILY .... other than having malformed and loose stool, and being pretty hungry, I am not having any pain - so that's a good thing, and now I see a bit more clearly that all of this may not be coincidental and may seriously be part of the problem. There are many "ifs" and "borderlines" and "coincidences" that seem to be pointing in one direction - the big "G" (gluten)

Has anyone had a similar experience to this? I am so new to all of this, I'm interested in hearing from others who've "been there" a bit longer than me.

Live2BWell - That is exactly how I feel right after I am sick with D, I am ravenous like I haven't eaten in days. It's such an odd feeling. Since I've been gluten free I haven't had that feeling. I have had D but I don't feel like I need to eat a horse afterwards. I wonder why that is?? Does anyone have input?

I have had similar things happen, although different also. I can't sleep after getting glutened because my thyroid goes crazy. Also have gut issues including some pain in LLBB (lower left of belly button). I do get extra hungry for some reason and I Can't explain that at all. Lately I had been eating less, feeling less hungry but glutened myself this week and got the hungries again. Not sleeping well started the first day and is still not totally resolved after 3 days. Pain is not bad though, and gut issues generally not too bad either.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
