Didn't Get To Sleep Until 3 Am, Trying To Figure Out Why!

Ok, I had a busy day yesterday but busy is normal for me. Here is my day:

Breakfast:

flaked quinoa sweetened with honey and raisins and salt

orange juice

Lunch:

Burger King (thinking this is the culprit)

double Whopper made without the bun

fries

2 med. diet coke's

After workout snack:

2 boiled egg whites

Special treat:

1 piece of ghiradelli chocolate with carmelized almond pieces

Dinner:

chicken thigh (w/onions, garlic & salt)

rice (w/ salt & butter)

broccoli

And that is it! I knew I was in trouble when everybody was going to bed and I started feeling panic attacks. I stayed up until 11 then tried to go to sleep. Nope, not until about 3 am. DH's alarm goes of at 4 so I woke up then. At 6:40am my 3 year old got me up and so goes my day today. *yawn* :(

Burger Kings fries and the cc from the whopper would no doubt make ME sick and I am not sure about the chocolate.

I agree with Momma Goose... Burger King is probably not the safest place to eat. They don't even have a list of gluten free selections (just wheat free).

Please forgive me for my ignorance but what is "cc"?

I'm rather sad because I love BK fries! :(

:) CC is short for Cross Contamination, which is very high at fast food joints. If you hunger for french fries. McD's is considered gluten free by the Celiac Sprue Association. (although, some here has reacted to the fries, perhaps too much grease?) And McD's (for the most part) have dedicated fryers, which means that nothing but french fries are put into the grease.

There is A LOT to learn about having Celiac! ;)

There have been quite a few reporting in various threads that once they're fully on a gluten free diet, they're more sensitive to some things, not less.

One of my theories about that is that a person on a gluten free diet's whole system isn't clogged up with additives that are in so many foods that celiacs have to avoid, and so a person can ~feel~ the effects of something that sets the body off more easily. Anyone coming off a fast will notice the effects of something that breaks the fast...

From your list of things that you ate, in addition to the BK items mentioned, you had a couple diet cokes...they have caffeine in them. And there's that chocolate. I've seen little kids so hopped up on taking in sweet and chocolate later in the evening than are usual for their little bodies that they just can't sit still....parents of small children might weigh in on that.

A lot of people can't take any caffeine at ALL after a certain time of day, if they expect restful sleep that night. My limit is about noon.

I think the BK fries have a coating on them, which is suspect. But even if not, they fry them with the onion rings, and then dump them in a bin with the onion rings. I don't see how they would NOT be cc'd. :(

Oh this just stinks :( I love BK fries MUCH more than McD's!

Thank you for letting me know what CC is :) Yes! So much to learn and I am becoming sad each time I find something else I cannot eat. BK didn't bug me before when I was gluten lite but it may have yesterday.

Now I did have 1 1/2 cokes at BK but it was for lunch and I normally do that once a week and don't have issues and I am a choco-holic LOL So I am not really suspecting that. Although things seem to be changing for me so they are possible!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true. Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms. There are over 200 that it mimics. Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow. Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad. Idiots. It's easy to get angry at all of them. You just have to pick at the answers until you find...

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1

      Hello @catnapt, That's so true.  Every person with Celiac Disease has different symptoms.  There are over 200 that it mimics.  Too many still believe that it is only a childhood disease you outgrow.  Or it's psychosomatic or simply a fad.  Idiots.  It's easy to get angry at all of them.   You just have to pick at the answers until you find the ones that work for you.  I too suffer from not being able to take the drugs that work for "everyone else".  SSRIs make me twitch ane feel like toothpicks are holding my eye open, ARBs cripple me.  Statins cause me intestinal Psuedo Obstruction.  Espresso puts me to sleep.  I counted 19 different symptoms that improved from GFD and dealing with my nutritional defecits.  I couldn't breath through my mouth until I started GFD at 64 years old.   My son was born with celiac disease, biopsy diagnosed at weaning.   So why are we the one-percenters.  Why, after being silent for so long, does it suddenly flare? There is the possibility that you have both Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity.  NCGS was not established as a diagnosis until 1980.  NCGS is diagnost by first elimating Celiac Disease as the cause, and showing improvement on GFD.  Nothing says you can't have symptoms from both.  Wheatbelly: Total Nutrition by Dr. Davis was helpful to me. We come to the forum to share what we've learned in dealing with our own symptoms.  Maybe this will help someone. Speaking of which if you don't mind; what is your 25(OH)D vitamin D blood level?  You mentioned a mysterious Calcium issue. Vitamin D, Calcium and Iodine are closely interactive. It is not uncommon for postmenopausal women to have insufficient intake of Iodine.   (RDA): Average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97%–98%) healthy individuals; often used to plan nutritionally adequate diets for individuals You are a one-percenter.  You may need higher intake of some essential nutrient supplements to speed up repairing the damages.
