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.

      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...

I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      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

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️
