I've Been Glutened

I've been gluten-free for a couple of weeks now, but I'm pretty sure I've been glutened tonight. Seems like the longer I go without the junk/poison, the worse I feel when I have it.

I feel like throwing up and I can feel the acid burning. When I throw up now since going gluten-free, the acid is really strong...burns my nose and mouth really bad. Is it possible that I have something else happening (gallbladder, pancreas), or is throwing up part of having celiac.

I swear I'm gonna stick to fruits and veggies. Went to the store to buy kale and spinach. I won't get glutened this way, and I'll finally lose that 35 lbs. Not sure what caused it, but I did buy some pork tenderloin and am wondering if it was hidden in it somehow....there was a weird ingredient...will have to retrieve the label.

You know it really sucks when we even have to worry about meat.

Yea, the longer I was gluten free the more sensitive I became. Now when I am glutened I get nausea along with some other symptoms but I do not get vomiting so I do not know exactly what you are going through but I know how it is to feel bad.

Feel better and just be careful with reading labels and so forth. You should get the lists available...the 79 page list of foods and products gluten free status, and the mainstreams brands that will not hide anything and clearly put wheat,rye,barley,oats on the label or be safe...they will be extra helpful. You need the safe/forbidden list too if you have not got that yet.

Thanks guys for the kink words. This is not something to take lightly. I swear to never have gluten knowingly again, and I am going to be extra vigilant so that this doesn't re-occur. This is scary stuff....

My aunt just had surgery for barrett's ring....two of my aunt's have major hair loss...another one has fibromyalgia and bi-polar, my bro has schizophrenia, my mom and aunt have hypothyroidism....and the list goes on and on. They are all on my mother's side of the family. My mom says she was told 30 years ago that she has an "allergy" to wheat, but I am wondering if she even understood what she was told (she immigrated to Canada at that time, and did not and does not speak the best English). Then there is me with all of my health problems. I don't intend on being like my mom and aunt's at their age...I'm stopping this now. I've tried to tell them that they need to get tested, to no avail. At least I know that I can help myself.

Feel better skar! :( I got glutened SO many times when I was just starting out gluten-free. For me it was cross-contamination every single time - I'd pick something that was safe but because I was eating out every day I got sick about once a week. The solution I've found is to stock up on good healthful fresh food (veg, meat, fish, eggs, fruit) and cook at home. Nothing but basics get into the house, nothing that's been basted or marinated, just plain meat and fish. Then I spice things up (safely) using ingredients I know are safe. A good side-effect to this new necessity of life has been becoming a decent cook!

It's a shame your relatvies won't get tested. It's incredibly frustrating when you *know* this is what someone has (esp. a relative because gene-wise they most probably do have the same thing as you...) Why don't people at least want to try to feel better?

what's barrett's ring?

I'm glad you are trying to mend your body. Maybe when they see the new improved you with your new improved health they might consider it. You can't force them, but try to gently, continuously persuade them. Here's to health! :)

Long-term GERD can sometimes lead to Barrett's esophagus, a condition in which the color and composition of the cells lining your lower esophagus change because of repeated exposure to stomach acid.

Barrett's esophagus is uncommon. Only a small percentage of people with GERD develop Barrett's esophagus. But once Barrett's esophagus is diagnosed, there's a greater risk of developing esophageal cancer, which often spreads from the esophagus to lymph nodes and to other organs.

As far as healing goes, my stomach is as big as a house today and full of gas. Hope I feel better tomorrow.

Skarlet,

I hope you feel better. Do you have any zantac, prevacid or anything like that? That heartburn/reflux pain is miserable.

      Celiac pain relief

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Karmmacalling I'm very sorry to hear you are feeling so unwell.  Can you tell us exactly what sort of pain you are experiencing and where the pain is?  Is it your lower abdomen, upper abdomen etc?  Do you have any other symptoms? Cristiana

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By trents · Posted

      The NIH article you link actually supports what I have been trying to explain to you: "Celiac disease (celiac disease) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some celiac disease patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory celiac disease or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to other dietary ingredients, such as maize, which is one of the most common alternatives to wheat used in the gluten-free diet. In some celiac disease patients, as a rare event, peptides from maize prolamins could induce a celiac-like immune response by similar or alternative pathogenic mechanisms to those used by wheat gluten peptides. This is supported by several shared features between wheat and maize prolamins and by some experimental results. Given that gluten peptides induce an immune response of the intestinal mucosa both in vivo and in vitro, peptides from maize prolamins could also be tested to determine whether they also induce a cellular immune response. Hypothetically, maize prolamins could be harmful for a very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients, especially those that are non-responsive, and if it is confirmed, they should follow, in addition to a gluten-free, a maize-free diet." Notice that those for whom it is suggested to follow a maize-free diet are a "very limited subgroup of celiac disease patients". Please don't try to make your own experience normative for the entire celiac community.  Notice also that the last part of the concluding sentence in the paragraph does not equate a gluten-free diet with a maize-free diet, it actually puts them in juxtaposition to one another. In other words, they are different but for a "limited subgroup of celiac disease patients" they produce the same or a similar reaction. You refer to celiac reactions to cereal grain prolamins as "allergic" reactions and "food sensitivity". For instance, you say, "NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing" and "IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. I need to remind you that celiac disease is not an allergy, it is an autoimmune disorder. Neither allergy testing nor food sensitivity testing can be used to diagnose celiac disease. Allergy testing and food sensitivity testing cannot detect the antibodies produced by celiac disease in reaction to gluten ingestion.  You say of me, "You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant . . ." Gluten intolerance is synonymous with celiac disease. You must be referring to gluten sensitivity or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Actually, I have been officially diagnosed with celiac disease both by blood antibody testing and by endoscopy/positive biopsy. Reacting to all cereal grain prolamins does not define celiac disease. If you are intent on teaching the truth, please get it straight first.

      Perhaps you would still like to answer the questions I posed on this topic, because that is all I asked. I am curious to know the answers to those questions, I do not care about the background of Dr. Osborne as I am more aware of the situation than you are, and he is also one of the best known authors out there on Celiac disease. But did you even bother to read the three Research Papers I posted by NIH? You must be one of those who are only gluten intolerant and not yet reacting to all glutens aka grains, but I AM one of those who react to ALL the glutens, and again, that is one of the two questions I originally posted on this matter. NIH sees all these grains as in opposition to celiacs, of which I am one and that is science, not any MD with a good memory who overprescribes medications that contain known food allergens in them, of which they have zero knowledge if the patient is in fact allergic to or not, since they failed to do simple 'food sensitivity' testing. I started with the failed FDA explanation of what Gluten Free is and I stayed sick and got even sicker. It wasn't until I came across NIH's papers and went off all grains that I realized that in fact, I am Celiac and reacting to all the glutens. IF a person wants to get well, they should be the one to determine what grains they are allergic to and what grains they want to leave out, not you. Those who are just getting started with learning about grains etc., can take it easy by just being "grain free' and eating a lot of meat, vegetables, etc. or whole foods as God has intended, without buying so called gluten free garbage out there that is making them sick and the whole reason they are not better. I tried the stupid gluten free garbage and it didn't work, and that will make anyone want to give up, it is better to teach the entire truth and let the patient decide, rather than give them misinformation and lies.
