I Think I Got Glutened...

I went camping this week at the Rubicon Trail in Northern California. It's a big 4x4 off road type trip. I prepared all my food in advance to make sure I didn't get glutened. What I failed to do was check the Jose Cuervo margarita mix online before bringing it. (I've drank tequila with lime prior to this trip and did not have the same effect- I know some cannot tolerate alcohol at all) I feel TERRIBLE - major D the day after and worse the 2nd day. I had a lot to drink one night while camping but none the next 2 days. We drove home today and we had to make several emergency gotta go now trips on the side of the road (wooded area thank goodness). After reading the website for Jose Cuervo it appears that they don't claim the mix is gluten free but some of the premixed stuff is. I wish I checked ahead of time. Lesson learned.

Ohhhh no!! Ohhh so very sorry!! Ohhh jeeze!! I will try and remember to drink what I know is safe. Wether be alcohol or not.. Thanks for that advice! I HATE runs to to woods!! Been there done that!! 

I sometimes go to N.C. with a friend when there was alot of construction it would take us 10 hrs. I wouldn't eat a thing for fear I'd have to  stop and go to the bathroom on the road. My friend would be so mad at me for doing that. Of course that was pre DX"s .. 

Now I know to take my food and drinks. :) I will be careful!! :)

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      Feeling ill

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By JA917 · Posted

      If I'm not mistaken, you need to count by the grams of GLUTEN, not the gram weight of the bread.  So, instead of counting each slice of bread as 35 grams, it would be counted as 2 grams, so that's why the recommendation is 5 slices a day = 10 grams.  One of the moderators can correct me if I'm wrong on that!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      Question re: life/health insurance: if you're already under these policies, do you have to notify them if you receive an official diagnosis, or is that only for new policies?  I have had two active term life insurance policies for many years that I pay a set amount into.  And my employer covers my health insurance.  So, do I need to let them both know if I do become officially diagnosed?  I'm glad I read this, because that would certainly be marked off in the "disadvantage" box for me!

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By JA917 · Posted

      I'm new here so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to recommend doctors?  But I am in Manhattan and see Dr. Lauren Schwartz at Manhattan Gastroenterology.  I am still in the process of (potentially) being diagnosed and she has been wonderful.  She has experience in Celiac and has a very calming bedside manner.  I feel confident I'll get the right diagnosis with her.  Give her a try if she takes your insurance.  Good luck!
