Feeling Totally Insane And Alienated From My Body

I've been gluten free for about 5 months now, and felt really well for the last month. I still get sick sometimes, seemingly out of no where/after eating foods that should be totally safe and I am starting to feel absolutely insane and I feel like I also sound insane when I tell people that I think I probably feel sick because my roommate cut bread on our plastic cutting board about a month ago. 

 

I didn't think the cc from sharing cooking stuff was bothering me, and I am still sort of in denial about it because it seems like a huge pain in the ass. Its not like I feel constantly sick, but every once in a while I'll feel realllly awful without any changes in my diet at all (i've been eating as fresh and clean as possible, and 5 months in I am pretty adept at reading labels, so I don't think its to do with that), so I am starting to wonder if I am getting ill from using the same kitchen things as my gluten eating roommates. 

 

But if I was wouldn't I be more apparently ill? Or is it possible for it to just cause random flare ups? Is it because I am still pretty new to the whole gluten free thing? I am not a celiac, but have a pretty strong gluten intolerance. 

 

I just feel unable to trust my body at all and I am at the point where I am considering replacing everything I regularly use in the kitchen just because I am confused and annoyed with my body.

I sort of answered you on your other thread but didn't know about the gluten eating roommates.

Maybe the roommates are cleaning the pots and pans better sometimes than other times? Maybe not everything they cook has gluten?

I am sure not everything they are cooking has gluten, maybe the solution is just to really thoroughly clean any pan before I use it and then buy new versions of hard to clean things for just me to use. Thanks for your help on my other thread too. I am posting kinda crazy right now.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
