Is This A Typical Reaction To A Gluten Slip?

I was diagnosed with celiac disease when I had a biopsy in November. Two (and probably three) of my children have celiac disease and when I started having intestinal issues for the first time in my life, I decided to get checked out. When I went gluten-free, most of the diarrhea stopped. A couple of days ago, I believe I made a mistake in eating some candy that may not have been gluten-free. Yesterday, I just felt bloated and uncomfortable, last night I had very bad diarrhea which continued today, and tonight I am vomiting. Is this a typical course when you are exposed to gluten? I feel horrible, but not horrible like I have the flu--just in my stomach. The candy I ate was from a candy store where they sell things out of bins. Probably a bad decision on my part and I'm paying for it big time!

Hi Yael and welcome :D

It sounds like a gluten reaction to me. Especially since you said that you didn't feel flu-ish. Vomiting isn't as common, but some have it and I know that myself, I don't vomit, but I get very nauesous along with my other symptoms.

The timing is also suspect for gluten, since you can identify a possible trigger--it makes sense.

Hope it passes quickly!

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
