I Slipped, And Now I Ache!

Hi, I'm pretty new to the gluten-free world. I quit eating bread and pasta (& etc.) early April, and yesterday I caved: I ate several slices of yummy bread.

Well, today I'm having severe bone and joint pain (back, arms, legs). Could it be a reaction? I am still as constipated as ever, but a bit more bloated and gassy.

I cheated because I felt like my life without gluten was not much different than on it: I'm still extremely tired most of the time, I can barely function.

How long does it take for the gluten to be completely out of one's system?

Each person is different. It sounds like your reaction is not good. have you had a blood test to see if you are celiac or gluten sensitive?

I'm still waiting for my results. I don't even know if the test that was requested is very reliable...

Yes, it is possible that your joint pain and aches are related to the gluten consumption. You will often have more extreme symptoms after being gluten free for a while. If you went gluten free only this month you have not given it a long enough trial to tell whether or not you will feel better off gluten, but I think you have maybe found that you will feel worse with it ;)

Your tiredness might be because you have either iron anemia or pernicious anemia (low B12), or you might even have a thyroid condition in addition to possible celiac. It sounds as though you need some testing to get some answers. I also get achy bones and joints when I'm accidentally "glutened." So, celiac is definitely a possibility for you.

I was diagnosed Coeliac 1 year ago. It. can take a long time for some symptoms to disappear. My fatigue and abdominal pain are still hanging around. Get your blood tested for iron, zinc, vit d, calcium, b12 and more. Your symptoms certainly sound like gluten poisoning.

Good luck, kim

Sounds like you are having a gluten reaction for sure! I agree with the previous posts regarding fatigue. There is a good chance of vitamin deficiencies. I would stay very strict with the gluten free diet from now on! You should see improvements soon! :)

BTW, Love the cat picture!

      Inhaler problem

      By trents · Posted

      Are you saying you believe there is gluten in the inhaler products? I mean you talk a lot about reacting to foods that are supposed to be gluten free but this thread is about inhalers.

      I am off the charts celiac and I have the same symptoms as the post who is asking. We are talking about celiac, food allergies, celiac symptoms & inhalers. Some inhalers are possibly not gluten free...our comments celiac related & don't get your PROBLEM so pls move on.

      I don't mean to be an ogre but this thread would seem to be unrelated to gluten/celiac/NCGS issues. Is there another health-related online community that might be more appropriate and more helpful to those experiencing these reactions to inhaler use?

      1. I would not use Advair at all, it is clinically shown to cause vocal cord side effects... saw this on a music website where a singing teacher posted the most problems re inhalers are with Advair & when checked with pharmacist it was true...I don't have coverage for it anymore anyway so i don't use it anymore...but it is not good for vocal cords.  2. My gluten symptoms are not gastrointestinal, they're the same symptoms you're describing....vocal cord swelling, throat clearing, white stuff on tongue, sore throat...mine has little white  bumps & red areas...these symptoms happen after I eat gluten & I'm thinking now I've been eating pasta the last while that prob I'm allergic to even though it says gluten free. I also can't eat oats, barley, some gluten free flours, or grocery/bakery gluten free products. Some food industry professionals say that it's not the gluten that's the problem it's what they're spraying on crops...which would explain why I'm allergic to so much...sprays are used for almost everything. You may want to think about what you're eating...are there things labeled gluten free you're consuming? Cos they may be causing the reaction...gluten free breads, crackers, pastas? Barley or oats? Even some buckwheat flour I can react to...Cornflakes have barley malt in them so do some ice creams, a swiss chocolate bar i bought I reacted to because the label had gluten on it.  You really have to be careful. I would take things out of your diet if you're eating them & see if things improve.
