So I accidentally glutened myself today, I'm not sure how but about 15 minutes after lunch today I was running to the bathroom with V&D. It confuses me a little though...prior to going gluten-free I had some GI issues but not as bad as today. Does your body learn to compensate some prior to diagnosis? I have only been gluten-free for about a week and a half so I'm not quite sure why the reaction has been so darn violent.

Many posters report a worsened reaction after being gluten free. It is why so many gluten challenges for testing purposes do not last the distance.

This warning from glutensensitivity.net:

WARNING: Once a gluten free diet is well established, if the patient truly is gluten reactive, experience shows that it is risky to return to a gluten diet or to see-saw on and off. Reactions are often more severe after a gluten free diet is well established, BUT they may or may not be immediately obvious, depending on the area of the body affected.

I was glutened off of a gluten free menu (I suspect the cook did not make my chicken minus the grill sauce like the gluten free menu said they would) and before I even left the restaurant I had to go throw up in the bathroom. I was only gluten free for one month at that point and vomiting was NEVER one of my symptoms prior to going gluten free.

I too have found the reaction much more severe if I take gluten.

I ate the stuff for two weeks to try and get diagnosed and felt like I was dying. It made the symptoms that made me cut it out in the first place look mild in comparison, and brought up new ones besides.

No doubt...Friday was V&D, Saturday was joint pain, and today has been fatigue and random nosebleeds. On the bright side, my husband who has been thinking that I have become a complete wing nut has come around after seeing what happened lol.

Constant bombardment, then a 2 week lull in fighting, and then boom resumed bombardment! Enough to make a person sit up and take notice, and maybe have a pronounced reaction. Give your body's immune system a break and let it recover a bit, then throw a bombshell at it. It's going to fight back with renewed strength after having a rest.

I had the same experience, after a few weeks, minor cross contamination affected me much worse (apparently) than constant exposure before gluten-free. When your guts are beaten to a pulp every day, all day, they may not register a minor invasion above the ongoing noise. But give them time out to begin recovering and they notice the next onslaught.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      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.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Possibly, but there used to be a movement within the celiac disease community to just tell restaurants that you have a deadly wheat/gluten allergy to, hopefully anyway, ensure that your meal is actually gluten-free. I don't recommend this approach at all, and if I ran a restaurant where there was ANY risk of cross-contamination, I'm afraid that I would decline to server someone who made this claim. No restaurant owner wants anyone dying or going to the emergency room at their business.
