Suggest Treatment For Vomiting, Ringing Ears And Sternum Pain After Accidentally Eating Gluten

Question: I have been suffering from accidentally eating gluten on Saturday. I have Hashimoto's and have been gluten-free since January, per suggestion by my endocrinologist. It has made a world of difference as far as inflammation, rashes, flushing, and nerve issues are concerned. However, it seems as though whenever I am inadvertently glutened now, it is 10X worse than it ever was in the past. I've been vomiting, nauseous, have itching/burning/ringing ears, and am experiencing severe, radiating pain around my sternum/ribs. I've had horrible insomnia and am literally exhausted this week while teaching. ANY SUGGESTIONS to get over the symptoms more quickly? Is this common? XXXXXXX Lorenz

Hello!

Thanks for your response. When I get home from teaching today, can I please upload some of my test results/labs? Since I've been gluten-free since January, my understanding is that a diagnosis of Celiac Disease would be difficult to attain, and particularly because of my low IGG levels/results. However, considering the fact that I've had chronic sores in my mouth since I was a baby, lots of rashes/hives in response to food/allergens, tons of GI issues (always deemed as diverticulitis or colitis), chronic ear infections/burning/ringing, insomnia, joint pain and inflammation, and major nerve issues and Reynaud's, etc...I'm pretty sure I have it. I've realized that gluten literally poisons me and puts me out of commission. They had me on Glumetza/Metformin for three years stating that I was pre-diabetic, however, the new endocrinologist says that is crazy given my most recent lab results...and took me off of it. I am only 4'10, weigh 102 lbs, but three years ago when I started having tons of rashes, flushing, and swelling of my glands/ears, they said I was pre-diabetic and put me on meds for it. Since then, it's been a whirlwind/downhill spiral of one med after the next, BUT NO ANSWERS!!
