Does anyone else react worse days after a glutening?.....

So I had a small screw up on Saturday night. I was out and had a few drinks, which I know where gluten free b/c its what I always drink...plus I brought them with me!

Later on I had some bagged chips from the bar, which I have also had before with no problem. I checked the ingredients and everything to make sure.

I never eat chips b/c I try to avoid nightshades and unhealthy foods alltogether...but I splurge on occasion usually with no problems...

Well, out of supidity one of my friends offered me some BBQ chips. Of course since I was drinking I didnt think and just reached in and took one...and then thought "oh crap"....checked the ingredients and there it was "barley"....I didnt even read anymore...I only had one chip and thought well, ok, it wont be that bad...

I felt kinda naucious on and off that night, but nothing I couldnt handle... I figured it was just the chips and drinking in general....

I woke up on sunday with lack of sleep so I wasnt feeling that great b/c of that. I had a few extra trips to the bathroom and one case of D, but it wasnt a bad as I thought.....then Monday came and I started feeling super fatigued, gassy (foul smelling), and even woke up with a muscle pulled in my back. My sinuses started acting up and I got a headace..so I took IB profin and went to bed early last night....slept for 10 hours, woke up today and felt like a train ran me over...

Pretty much every muscle in my body is aching and IB profin is the only thing helping me...its 800mg and I'm still feeling pain....I've also been chilled on and off and get fatigued very fast...especially if I eat something....so I've been resting all day....

I didnt go to school, couldnt even think about working out. I'm also on day 40 of my menstrual cycle with still no period...so I cant tell if my problems are gluten or that....my cycle is so messed up and it has often been leaving me feeling sick. actually, on sunday, my water retnetion got so bad that it hurt to press my skin...then I felt it hurting my muscles...so maybe my muscle aching is from that...

So I'm thinking the way I feel is a combination of everything...I'm just wondering if it was the nightshades or gluten that bothered me more...or maybe I have just been overly stressed...dont you love going through these thought proccesses???

All I know is no more white potatoes for me...

sorry if my writing is all jumbled...I'm also having "brain fog" cant think straight!!! so frustrating!

It could be a combination, but honestly when I got glutened about 2 weeks ago, it was from cross-contamination of using the same fork, I didn't even think about and it knocked me on my butt for 48 hours. So yes, a little bit can definitely mess you up to the point of feeling like "death".

I hope you feel better.

While it definitely could be gluten, bear in mind that depending on where you are there is a nasty bug going around that causes fatigue, achiness, fever chills etc I had it this weekend (still have some of it) and so have most of the people in our office.

I hope you are feeling better soon. I feel the gluten 45 minutes after eating it and 3-4 minutes after smelling lots of it. When I ingest it, I'm like you and the aches and pains build for a few days then start to fade on day 4 or 5. Ibuprofin also helps me as well as taking a 1/4 of a benadryl (check gluten-free) to get some comfortable sleep on the weekends. I wish you well. I poisoned myself today, and am dreading the next few days.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
