I tend to go into a brain fog and my joints flare up pretty much right away. Sometimes I'll get nauseous even as I'm eating The brain fog and joint pain can last a couple of days or more.

I only had fruit, and some salami-type roll up things for appetizers. Dinner was a salad it did have croutons mixed in, but I didn't eat them , potatoes and chicken. It was probably the croutons and the little bit of sauce the chicken had.
I've only been dx'd for a month and this was my first event I had been to that I had not control over. Guess my lesson was learned the hard way, because even though we ate about 3 hours ago, I am just now starting to feel awful. Bed, here I come. So sorry you got glutened. Weddings are hard Also unidentified sauces are really dangerous. But we have to have these learning experiences to teach us what to avoid in the future.
Sauces and marinades will get you most often, also processed foods with 'natural flavourings' although they're supposed to label wheat on packages, but they can also put them in wedding banquet stuff too!
It does get easier. This has been a good learning experience, and you are gamer than I was -- I didn't tackle something like this for more than a year. So the longer you are gluten free does that mean the worse your reaction will have?? I haven't been gluten-free a terribly long time, just was thinking about that. I usually don't have reactions until the next day. Then it is 3 or so days for the neuro symptoms and aches to go away. The gut symptoms go away usually in about 6 hrs.

The fever was gone the next morning, but I have had non-stop stomach cramps and diarrhea since then.
Thank you all for sharing. Hello Erin, Reading your comment makes me think we should do an update of this post. It was written a couple of years ago and while the mechanism that takes place within the body after a gluten attack has not changed, perhaps we can find some new insights to share since this post was published.
The point you made about the strength of the reaction after being off gluten for a long time is a very important one. We know this to be true. The more your body heals the damage that has occurred from gluten exposure the more violent the reaction to a new exposure. This in itself may be a good topic for an article. Perhaps it would help people going through what you did to know why this happens and how to avoid it.
We are so glad you found this article useful and we will keep on top of the subject for our readers. Gluten exposure is not be taken lightly. We wish you good health and thank again for sharing your experience. My experience with Celiac started with Seizure,s..
No more medicine! My symptoms have been Diarrhea, constipation, headaches, fatigue, stomach cramps as well as more! Pure Encapsulations brand is what I take.. It heals your gut lining and helps to break down proteins and all your food.. The book titled Practical Paleo has a lot of good information that can teach anyone who is interested.. Currently suffering from an accidental glutening I have celiacs I seriously feel like death. The pain from gluten is worse than labour..
I am currently under an attack. Still have nausea joint pain. Ug I hate this. The anxiety was horrible this time. I hope it never happens again. I am new to this, and it sucks. Senisitive to the Gultin. I feels for everyone, got a lot to learn about this!! I was diagnosed with celiac 2 years ago because I had lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
I have been eating gluten every 5th day and my numbers when i do the blood test continually go down. I am having a real hard time believing the doctors when no one will give me a straight answer on what is actually happening in my body if anything , has anyone heard anything that can help?
Each cycle, my intestines are painful, stools become hard balls for 6 days, then I have diarrhea for 2 days before things normalize. At the end of a cycle, I had a stool test done, which showed high calprotectin and antigliadin antibodies! I eat an organic, grain free diet, mostly from home no gluten. These symptoms relate directly the IVIG, same pattern each time.
Dobuou know anything about this issue? I need the IVIG for many reasons, but am worrying about it destroying my gut. I am so happy to find this site! Fast forward to a few years ago. I felt like it was not just IBS. I was tired all the time…full body bone tired, achy muscles and joints, headaches and then burning stomach, and sometimes burning esophagus and mouth. I had eczema on my elbows and red rash and very itchy eyelids.
The stomach issue was a new development. At first I figured it was menopause I am 56 now. Almost 2 years ago had colonoscopy and endoscopy. I began following a GF diet since then and am still in the learning process of where there is hidden gluten.
I am convinced I have a gluten intolerance based on the biopsy readings. Am taking a PPI to get my stomach healing started this about 3 weeks ago and hate how it makes me feel. Probiotics make me feel worse for some reason.
Was feeling really good with better energy levels and less headaches and then I did something stupid. Because I was feeling good I ate a dinner roll and piece of cake at a dinner 3 nights ago. My stomach starts burning, my joints and muscles ache and I get so tired and fuzzy headed and this lasts a few days. When will I ever learn? Sorry for this long post. It started last night with a migraine and vomiting.
Today she is fatigued, nauseous and has body aches. I was hoping to find some tips for remedies when accidental exposure happens, but it sounds like everyone is unique. My heart goes out to you. I also want to stress the how important it is to understand the HUGE impact anxiety and depression have in this complex syndrome.
You will find that as her gut starts to heal her reactions to gluten may be more intense. This actually a good sign as it means her intestinal wall is healing and does not want any more interference from its enemy gluten. As for how she was exposed that is sometimes tricky but well worth the effort to find out. Please check our articles if you like, we have a few articles on depression and isolation and coping with the social aspects of CD.
Take a look, they are created for our guests and hope you find them helpful. We wish you the best of luck. On Saturday I went to my work Christmas Party and it was a buffet, I was very sceptical to eat anything but they assured me the gluten free items were celiac friendly. I end up in the hospital every time I decide to eat out. Cass, You are absolutely correct in all you say. You may want to read another of our articles that highlight the broad spectrum of sensitivity with CD.
Some sensitivity could be related to how long you have been on the GF diet. In an odd way, the strong reactions that you experience now could be a sign that your intestinal wall is healing.
So when you do eat gluten it fights back to protect you. Another reason could be due to how much damage you experienced before you were diagnosed. Take care and stick to the diet. It is protecting you from some potentially serious consequences. Slowly horrible reflux and anxiety appeared within another few months the joints in my feet and hands swelled with redness and pain.
A friend told me to try GF for a month to see how I felt. After 6 weeks my reflux and anxiety went away it was then I did the celiac testing which came back boarderline and RA too.
Needless to say I tried Gluten products 6 more times in the last 2 yrs just to see if I would react, not smart I know but each time it affected my Heart rate, it would go to periodically so running which I love was difficult.
I had multiple heart tests which my heart was fine but has many arythmias. Most recently I had the genetic test done because I did not want to eat gluten to be retested. I am recovering form exposure to Gluten these last 4 days I ate out and was told it was GF but guess what?
This site has been a God send so thank you. My Wife has Acid Reflux and a blown up belly. Tested on gluten, but came back negative. She stopped eating gluten. In what time period should she see differences in case it really is gluten?
I had an endoscopy procedure. A biopsy was taken and came back positive for celiac disease. This was a surprise. My only symptoms are some minor abdominal pain. I do have some constipation issues. But meds I take can cause that.
Hemoglobin level was 9. Iron infusions brought it back up. I had multiple colonoscopies and endoscopies. No bleeding was found. Can you have celiac disease and not have the severe symptoms people get. Thanks for your help. I have been gluten-free for six months now. My biggest problem was excess mucus and skin issues. My GI sent me to an allergist who, after some allergy tests, told me that it was post nasal drip caused by environmental allergies.
However, I always thought it was a gut-related problem. And I started a gluten-free diet. At first I was scared to eat out and my diet was mostly limited to vegetables and meat. Recently, however, I have eaten out a few times and been glutened three times. Each time I experienced flu-like symptoms: migraine, a slight fever, nausea, redness on my face, itchy eyes, and, perhaps the worst of all, mucus that I have to cough out which tastes salty, is definitely not nasal drip but probably caused by acid reflux.
Is there anyone who also experiences a similar excess mucus problem. I suspect I have food sensitivities that might contribute to the problem. Oh my goodness been struggling with bloating and severe constipation for years.
Just been on holiday and so so sick. Slurred speech, distended stomach foggy head. Been to dr waiting blood results, 7 days on migraine, nausea still bloating!! Apparently coffee. Hurts coeliacs too. And as much water as I can on a three hour bus journey.. In March I went to the DR for dizziness and throwing up and the only thing they could come up with was my hemoglobin was slightly low, but my iron saturation and total iron were really low. The Dr wanted a colonoscopy before she knew my results and never followed up after getting my results.
It took 7 weeks to get the colonoscopy and EGD. The EDG suspected Celiac. I found this out via the discharge paperwork I was given. In a nut shell I am on my own to feel my way through this. I am ready to deal with not being gluten free, instead of not sleeping, constantly crying, the rage and anger inside of me. Baking is who I am. I am not a baker by trait, but was was taught by my grandmother started before I was 5 and being told I need to stop doing that is not sitting well.
What do you do when healing the body leaves a shell of the person remaining — one who sits in a chair and stairs at the walls and no longer enjoys life? I was diagnosed with SIBO — small intestinal bowel overgrowth 2 years ago and after a course of antibiotics followed by probiotics I seemed to get some healing. However, I know I have leaky gut not diagnosed but evident and I am intolerant to the nightshade family especially tomatoes and potatoes and paprika and chillies!
Even my gas, nausea and indigesion are relieved by the antihistamine such as Desloratidine or Cetrizine Hydrochlroide. For me, it helps, but of course, the best help is to eliminate. When I eliminate gluten, dairy and nightshades I am a different person. I have autoimmune disease — graves disease to contend with and I know alot of gluten sensitive people will have auto-immune diseases. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy which revealed nothing. Interestingly I was only given a quick antibiotic and no further checks again.
My experience with Celiac Disease is: Diarrhea, extreme fatigue and wanting to sleep for several days after unknowingly ingesting wheat. I have a wonderful gastro who has done testing by blood and biopsy. He put me on Budesonide and probiotics.
I also had migraines. I am sx free if I look at all the ingredients. I also have fructose malabsorption and chronic colitis. Hi,I got loose motion for apprx 15 days and then I was diagonosed with wheat allergy when I was After that I ate strict gluten free food for 4yrs.
Now I m 27 and i eat wheat made food sometimes and i do not face any problem. With my latest celiac attack I ended up in the hospital. A friend happened to stop by while I was in the throes of the first 24 hrs of an intense attack and called an ambulance for me.
I guess its hard to watch. I, actually, have acceptable readings without any blood pressure medicine after being on a gluten free diet for just eight months. The irregular heart beats are gone, too. All of my vitals were in great shape even though it felt like my body was going through major distress. Hello Charles, We applaud your success in controlling your gluten intake.
From what you have described it looks like your gluten-free diet management is working and your gut is healing. The phase you are in now is indicative of the reaction of ingesting gluten after your gut has healed. Now your immune system vigorously reacts to protect you from any gluten intake. You are correct in saying your body was in major distress.
It was working hard to let you know you had gluten in your system. When you have celiac disease your immune system sees gluten as an enemy. It fights to remove it. Non-celiacs experience the same reaction to food poisoning. Bloating, nausea, brain fog, diarrhea, and gas all occur at once. There is no silver bullet. Rest, lots of liquids and time will help your body do its job. The difference is that unlike non-celiac food poisoning a gluten attack can set back the healing of your gut and can cause long-lasting damage.
When we have an attack we review how we could have been exposed and take it as part of the learning process of how to live safely in a gluten-filled world. Continue on with your diet. Great results in your test results. Im not a celiac atleast i dont think , but definetly gluten sensitive. For years ive had bad diarrhea almost daily along with severe brain fog, headaches and back and joint pains along with severe lack of energy even after full nights rest.
Ive eliminated gluten along with dairy for the last 2 months and i feel much better. Ive also been taking colostrum and collegen peptides. However, yesterday i caved on my gluten free diet and ate some pizza. By far the worst choice ive made in a while! I feel terrible today.
I am swearing off gluten for good! I have severe gluten intolerance, although I have never been tested for celiac. I immediately tried to make myself vomit as much as I could, and then took a gluten enzyme given to me by my doctor.
The next few weeks minimum of two, but the last time it was three months will consist of frequent and uncontrollable diarrhea, joint pains, puffiness in hands and face, fatigue, brain fog, and depression. Sudden bloating followed by a pain in my stomach, then the chills, throat pain, inability to concentrate and speak,weakness, tired, shortness of breath, then projectile vomiting and diarrhea.
I always say that the day I die there better be a really good NYC style pizza place by the pearly gates! My daughter was diagnosed in with Celiac Disease. She was 4 yrs old at the time. It started off with bloating, body pains, constipation, throwing up, headaches, not being able to sleep, I seriously could go on and on.. I had so many issues with her as a baby trying to find the right formula. I knew there was something wrong.
My little girl is 8 now been gluten free since the day after her test.. A lot more fiber in her diet has helped tremendously.. Poor girl has been threw so much.. This has been a life changing experience for our whole family.. It takes a month or longer to start feeling somewhat normal again. Needless to say, I want to thank each and every one of you brave enough to tell your story.
Thank you and God bless each and every one of you!!! Recently I was staying at a hospital with my mum who was very ill and was eating jacket potatoes from the hospital canteen for 5 days. On the 5th day, the staff told me that unfortunately the cheese on the jacket potatoes had been wheat-coated.
I was spectaculaly ill vomitting, BP crash and woke up in Emergency on a drip and have been recovering over the last 3 weeks. Now after these 3 weeks I have developed extreme joint pain in my shoulders, arms, hands and hips, despite being strictly GF again. Hello Michele, We are so sorry to hear about your incident of gluten exposure. There can be situations you cannot control and this sounds like one of them. First of all great job for protecting your body from gluten successfully for so long.
As far a the recovery from the exposure, that is a question best asked to a professional who has worked with lots of celiac patients. We can add that from our experience the symptoms from exposure do lessen with time as long as additional exposure does not take place. Stay vigilant and get better. And thank you for sharing your story.
I think I got glittered from a Thai restaurant that said pud Thai was gluten free had diireaha on and off. What should I eat while goin through this? White rice soluable Foods what do u suggest?? My sister is also suffering for glutten intolerence. My doctor had told us about the dissease. Now she is avoiding the food that contain glutten and only taking glutten free food from last one weak but her abdominal pain was not stopped. At evening her pain starts.
Please help me sir , in india this is not a common dissease so we are confused please help us. As a child, I would vomit nearly every night. My mom took me to our GP, and it was brushed off as her over-exaggerating. As I got older, the vomiting eventually stopped, but I became more lethargic and sluggish. I was always in a mental fog, and I developed severe social anxiety.
I gained a lot of weight, and my body bloated. I also have another medical issue that was quite severe and also brushed off by my GP, and thus remained undiagnosed for over a decade. I cut out wheat about seven years ago at the urging of my mom, who had done so a few years earlier.
I still suffer from anxiety, but it has greatly improved. I sometimes also get headaches, mental fog, and some joint pain. I always thought i just had a mild intolerance to gluten.
Light rash, some stomach upsets, and achy joints. I also have a dairy intolerance. I did ok most of the day, but that was the only thing i ate yesterday. Last night around 9pm I started having horrible heartburn, later about an hour from that I had painful cramps and loads of diarrhea every minutes, I acquired a mouth sore sometime throughout the day, and my joints were hurting so bad.
I only threw up once but it was a throw up that lasted till i started dry heaving. I have never had an experience to gluten like that, I mean i used to get the mild symptoms like i said at the beginning of this post, just add in a little mild heartburn every now and then. What do you folks think?
I got glutaminated last night… I was diagnosed in and have been lucky enough to only have been glutened a handful of times. Today I am feeling intense fatigue, slight anxiety, a sense of looming despair, heartburn, diarrhea, stomach cramping… feeling very slow… everything a bit achey… I felt mostly fine when I woke up so I thought I had sufficiently purged, but how wrong I was.
I take GF psyllium husk and activated charcoal as well as pepto bismol to help with my symptoms. You might want to consider re-testing, but is it really worth it…? I only realized recently I was gluten intolerant. One day my stomach just changed its behavior and I suffered from diarrhea need a bathroom 8 to 10 times a day. After some internet research I thought I might just to the self test and cut out what for a day or two. I started feeling different, then had a whole grain biscuit to test and oh my word, the excruciating pain made me realised I am onto something.
I cut out gluten for 4 days and felt so much better. I had loads of energy, I had no fear of leaving the house not knowing when my stomach is going to react. It could be 7pm in the evening after dinner and I would go straight to bed just to be woken up by needing a bathroom 2 hours later.
I feel optimistic know that I know what is going on with my body. I never ever thought this will happen to me. So we learn. When I eat gluten I severely vomit t for 5 hours. Reading all these stories makes me sad and frustrated. I struggle with gluten intolerance. I get digestion cramps and stomach bloating that lasts for days. Brain fog and lethargy for a few hours.
I also react similarly to soy. I went through a phase where I started eating small amounts of gluten on a regular basis and it helped minimize the effects I think.
