Dreams

Since being diagnosed I have had a few celiac dreams.

 

In one dream there are some Church's biscuits and I pick one up and decide it won't hurt anything to have one.  Half way through chewing the first bite I'm like "What am I doing!"  and spit it out. :D

 

Last night I dreamed got a handful of chex mix and popped it into my mouth.  The I'm like "WTH!"  and spit it out.  :lol:

The same thing happened to me when I first got diagnosed. It's super annoying, but a good way to identify how you are coping with it 'below the surface.' Mine were about eating pretzels, pizza, cookies, and ice cream cones.

Its been long enough now that I don't remember it as clearly any longer, but my only dream was about corn dogs at a fair. I was at the fair with my husband but we were wandering separately and meeting up again later. As I was going to meet him I thought that I should have corn dogs, thinking that corn is safe. I remember eating half or maybe a whole dog then realizing that just because they are corn dogs does not make them gluten free and then waking up in a complete panic. I sat straight up, I was hyperventilating and couldn't go back to sleep that night.

 

This was quite some time after I was diagnosed too... months later. My husband and I had been talking about buying a corn dog maker that would not require deep frying for me, and so it wasn't like I didn't know that corn dogs aren't safe. Heck, they're one of the things I really miss! I felt so stupid for eating a corn dog in a dream, and it wasn't even anything I had control over. Since then the only thing I've had are daydreams when my husband orders out for pizza.  <_<

In the first year of gluten free life I had many dreams like that. I'd wake up in a complete panic! Now I am into year two and I don't have them as often!

Thanks for the replies.  I think it is very funny to have these dreams. Every now and then I run across something that I'm like "OMG I can't have that anymore!"  It has been surprising which things have made me the saddest.  One of the big ones was sugar cones ;(.  I thought it would have been chocolate cake.  I know there are gluten-free options, but 1) they are pricey and I am cheap, and 2) good excuse for special treats.

 

Have a Good Weekend!

I'm almost 3 years gluten-free. We have a 6am store meeting today where a buffet of gluten foods will be provided.This is what I just dreamed in the short time I slept knowing I had to get up at 4am.

 

 

Sometime after 3:05, after I feel asleep, I dreamed about big thick fresh baking biscuits. We were making tons of them and some other pastry because it was Christmas time, we were also re-heating old VHS tapes and watching them one last time. Found one from my days at middle school and I was being played by Bruce Willis. It was comic gold. Funniest thing I've ever seen. It was briefly interrupted by a Christmas parade my older brother had recorded, then it came back on and I was hoping I would be able to find a way to preserve it. Bruce was totally hilarious, then the phone rang. Dad answered it and told me it was Tony (manager at work) and he sounded mad. So I took the phone and I was mad because he was interrupting Bruce. It was a sales rep that wanted me to give him a tour of my work when I got there. And I though "Oh well I have to be there at 6am anyway why not." Well actually he meant 1pm when I get there for my regular shift. Still fine but after I hung up I realized it wasn't my call but Ebony's (former Front In Supervisor at work). After all once I clocked in I was supposed to head straight to Homeroom (middle school).

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
