Weird Sort-of Glutening Symptoms

For the most part, my daughter, 11, rocks at the gluten-free menu. We made our longest stretch without a glutening for 6 months!!! Unfortunately, she was glutened last week which was a real bummer, but while the initial symptoms were harsh, after a good night's sleep she seemed back to normal. When she's glutened, she starts with really hard burps and hiccups and just general stomach pain, followed by either throwing up (not usual) or the big D (more common).

Now for the weird "non glutening" issue...

Then, a few days later (Christmas night, actually) she woke up feeling bloated, nauseous, and had a headache. I gave her an antacid and Ibuprofin and she was able to sleep it off and felt much better when she woke up. Oddly, though, this is something that happens about every other month. She says that she doesn't really have a "gluten poop" after these episodes, but it happens often enough that I'm wondering if this "non gluten illness" happens to anyone else's kiddos. Sometimes she'll throw up, too. Either way, she tends to be able to sleep it off and feel much better. It's always the same though: a bad headache, bloating, and sometimes throws up, then about 6 hours of sleep to feel better. None of these occasions was she exposed to gluten.

I thought for a while it might be MSG that doesn't set well with her and is consistent with some of the things she's eaten around those times.

Any one else go through this either?

Something like that happens to my son still. I have narrowed to two things - to much sugar or fruit sugars and acid reflux. he tells me his tummy feels bad and that his throat hurts.

Don't mean to freak you out, but this could also be the start of puberty for her. She sounds like I used to feel occasionally before I started my periods at around that age. Just a thought.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
