Day 8.... Still Stomach Issues

Sorry for the gross detail (a warning......)

It's been about 8 days since I've got glutened (over Thanksgiving, I think at a friend's house). I've had stomach issues ever since - the classic bloating, D, alternating with constipation... basically my whole body is off and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to this.

So I'm trying to eat, staying away from dairy, and every time I eat I get D. My belly just doesn't want anything in it! So I have no energy, and I"m HUNGRY.

Do you all experience this? What do you do? I've been glutened before but this seems somewhat worse than usual. I went to bed at 9:15 last night and I'm already tired, after so much sleep... I can't seem to get enough and my brain is foggy.

Breakfast this morning was a frozen banana, some Panda Puffs cereal, and a rice cake with a little bit of peanut butter. Maybe too much food but I was hungry from last night and all I could handle was rice pasta with sauce, again no dairy.

Perhaps I am eating the wrong things? I guess this is how it goes? And if I can't eat dairy (GI recommended this) then what in G*d's name do I put on bread : (

Boo.

I have to go back to basics when I get glutened. Just meat, rice or potatoes and vegies. Also teas. Any grains kind of sit like a stone in my stomach. I can eat corn tortillas just fine, I like them toasted.

I also make chicken noodle when I think the noodles will sit ok.

Some people do take a long time to feel better. I'm sorry you're hurting and hope you are better soon.

Thank you for the reply! I have to go shopping and get some basic stuff. I've been eating chicken soup for a while, TG for the gluten-free kind - it's actually really, really good. I wasn't sure about potatoes or noodles. I had rice pasta last night but I think the sauce was a bad idea - I don't know what to do with it without my usual butter and cheese!

I agree...eat plain white rice, plain cooked chicken, hamburger or turkey. Cooked plain veggies (no raw veggies or frut), very little oil. Eat small amounts slowly. Maybe some applesauce.

Try hot mint tea. I use Trader Joes Mint Medley or The Republic of Tea Mint Fields Organic Herb Tea which has spearmint, peppermint and (my favorite cure) Lemon balm in it and has the gluten-free certified gluten free label on it.

Good luck!

      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.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins found in these other cereal grains. It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.
    • Lori Lavell
      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.

      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.
