You guys, I just have to complain to somebody...

I was so sick last night.... :( No details....too gross.

Let's just say it involved me and the "throne"....chills, dry heaves, upset stomach, basically, the works.

Honestly, at one point, I just curled up on the bath mat, too weak to make it back to the bed. :blink:

Way too much drama for 4:00 am in the morning. :rolleyes:

The only unusual food that I ate yesterday was a taco salad from Wendy's which I thought was gluten-free :blink: ...maybe my tummy was having other probs. besides gluten though.

All I know is I was Sooo sick! :(

Anyway, enough about all of that. I just needed to vent. :rolleyes:

Thanks for reading.

I know how awful you must feel. I hope you feel better soon. Just try to keep it light food on your stomach until it gets back to normal. Try drinking teas like peppermint too...that can really settle your stomach :D

Even if you didn't eat the salsa, fast food places are among the worst for cross contamination.

Oh no... I'm sorry... :( I know how awful that must be.

I wouldn't trust those salads again :angry: especially if the salsa has gluten :blink:

Thanks everyone for your well-wishes! :)

I am feeling better. I didn't eat much yesterday. I tried to give my tummy a break...and made sure I only ate things I was SURE were gluten-free. :rolleyes:

Good grief! I haven't felt that bad in awhile. Thank you everyone for your understanding. ;)

Blessings. -Julie

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Winnie-Ther-Pooh · Posted

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
