Cc And How Stupid Can You Be

so I'm on holiday and doing, I think, fairly well and being pretty careful after 9 months gluten-free and thinking that actually I do not know how strong a reaction can I get from gluten and maybe I'm one of the lucky who don't get any reactions at all. Then I go out for dinner (normally I eat at home or in carefully selected places) in a very popular place which clearly doesn't have a clue, so I order roast fish to be on the safe side.

 

And then my friend order pasta with arselle (mussels) but she does not eat her mussels because she likes the taste but not the texture. And, even if it seems incredible to me NOW, I think it is actually OK to eat the dozen or so mussels that have been in the pan with the hot spaghetti and I do not realize they are coated with gluteny oil. So I have them, and 45 minutes later my gut literally explodes - luckily I was back home by then.

 

The good news: a couple of imodium seem to have taken care of the gut part after I voided everything I had. No throwing up either. And yes, today I'm woozy, very tired and foggy brained, but it could be a lot worse. A LOT.  The bad news: I'm INCREDIBLY stupid. Ok, it all goes to experience, but...

 

I know everybody's reaction is different, but can anyway tell me if their main reaction is a bout of D followed by a bad hangover feeling? Because I'm 99% sure this was a glutening, but I can't exclude that the mussels weren't quite fresh or something. thank you...

yup - it sounds like you shot yourself in the foot!  

 

i get *hateful* <that's my first sign, yay) then a headache, the big D, fatigue, etc - like i have the flu but no fever.  i think if you had food poisoning, you would know it - i've never had it but i understand it's bad enough to send you to the emergency room.  if you've been doing well this whole time, i would say you've been glutened.  

 

don't beat yourself up too badly - i think we've all been there, done that!   i tend to drink alot of water and take hot showers.  i eat simply (i revert to my good ole turkey sandwiches), stay close to the bed/bathroom and ride it out.  

 

feel better!   :(

Thanks for the post. Though you may be feeling lousy, it is nice to see someone be able to laugh at themselves (and make me giggle too).

Heck, even if I had just stuck to the fish and not eaten the mussles, the cross contamination from the restaurant's kitchen probably would have had similar results for me. But the mussles!?! You didn't! I hope they ate least tasted great.

That sounds exactly like a glutening to me. I hope you didn't get too irritable and that your headache isn't too bad. 

But I wouldn't beat yourself up too badly. Yeah, you knew better and you did it anyway, but some lessons have to be learned the hard way. But the next couple days will be bad enough, no need to berate yourself too. Your body is already taking care of the negative reinforcement.

      Welcome to the forum, @wellthatsfun! Count your blessings that you were diagnosed so young.  Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper!  Some of us old farts went undiagnosed for a long time and we're a bit more life worn, but there's a wealth of wisdom here.   Do know that many people go through a period of grief after diagnosis that's normal.  Look into the five stages of grief.  You'll adjust, but for now, venting is understandable.    Sending {{{hugs}}}

      It's on this site.  Click in my name.  Look for the pull down menu that says "Activities" and chose "blog".  Oh, there's the link!     You can send personal messages through this site, too, if you like.

      It's part of the malabsorption that occurs with Celiac Disease.  Yes, I lost weight, too.  We can use up our B vitamins quickly when we're ill.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost.  Supplementing can help ensure we're getting the essential vitamins and minerals our body needs to function well.  Many vitamins can be low in the newly diagnosed.  Vitamin D can also be low.  Minerals like iron and magnesium can be low, too.  You'll feel better once you restore the nutrients.

      Thank-you I will ask the doctor about this.  This is all new to me I'm feeling ill every day and losing weight is this part of coeliac?
