Worst Every Time When Glutened...

Hi!

I have been gluten-free for about 2 years and I was very very strict for the first one and never took any risks of getting glutened. But now I try to be careful but I have had a couple of accidents. And everytime the symptoms are more violent. I thought and I had heard from some other celiacs that after recovery symptoms would actually decrease... Is your body also reacting more even after being gluten-free for a while? Or is it less? Thanks for you help. :)

Well I've only been gluten-free for six months, but I can say for sure my symptoms are more severe now. I never had bad gastro symptoms before going gluten free, just bloating and gas. My symptoms were mostly neuro. Now I get violent stomach pains and bloody D a few days after being glutened as well as the neuro symptoms (headaches, shaky hands, fatigue, brain fog, muscle spasms, and joint pain). I'm also much more sensitive to cc than I was in the beginning.

Over 8 years gluten free, still react violently to gluten. Will not touch gluten on purpose.

I have been gluten-free for over 4 years. I am very sensitive to any gluten or cross-contamination. For me, the symptoms of getting glutened get worse and worse over time. I figure it's because my body has finally gotten rid of what it basically sees as a poison. So when it does get glutened again, it's a pretty bad and kind of long reaction.

My gluten by accident symptoms got worse also. I am eight years in and a good glutening now leads to a 3 days mild GI bleed. Something that didn't happen at all before I was diagnosed.

Have been gluten-free for 6 months now and I notice that if I am glutened the symptoms are worse every time. I am very careful and stick to what I now is safe and when it happens I have only had 1 new thing (note to self, stay away from that) It also seems to take longer to recover from the episodes. Not sure if it is related but this time not only have I had the "brain fog" bad but severe stomach pain on my right side, bloating, gas, nausea, both bathroom issues and a SEVERE PANIC ATTACK. It lasted the whole day and left me completely drained.

I do appreciate this site as I read the posts I realize that I am not alone. Thank you everyone. :-)

      Test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If all testing is now completed you may want to let your doctor know that you are starting a gluten-free diet. If you symptoms go away on the diet it is further confirmation that you may have celiac disease, and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      As long as the B Comlex is gluten-free, it should be helpful to you, especially since you're recently diagnosed and your villi are in the recovery process. You may need to look at further supplements as well, and it's a good idea for your doctor to check levels for many nutrients to see what deficiencies you might have. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Weak stomach digestion after undiagnosed celiacs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      How long ago were you diagnosed? There are many symptoms and issues for those who are newly diagnosed, and recovery can take a while. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      As I mentioned before I’m pretty new to this. I’m about a month into being completely gluten-free. But I’m still having issues with fatigue, loss of appetite, and gas pain. I’ve started taking the B complex, and was hopeful, but that would help me get past especially the fatigue and the loss of appetite. But now I just read a more recent post where somebody is saying that the B complex is not necessarily good for us?  I was very comfortable with the B complex because our bodies shed excess B vitamins. But now I just looked it up and B vitamins can cause gas and bloating.  As I mentioned, that’s one of my biggest symptoms, and I also think it’s directly connected to my loss of appetite, which, of course is connected to my fatigue.  I’m so confused I don’t really know what to do now?

      Thank you. Yeah I avoid lots of foods just wondering if my situation is common. GI doctor I’m seeing now doesn’t think my present situation is related to the celiacs whereas I do.
