How Do I Keep Sane?

Hi all,

Rough night. Woke up at 4am to another allergic reaction to something I ate I am convinced. My daughter was terrified, I was so swollen. I am exhausted and feel worse than crap.

Finally pushed enough for my doc to order celiac blood testing.

He suspects my thyroid, and i'm waiting for an endocrinologist appointment.

Ultrasound scheduled for next week. Waiting is the hardest part.

I don't know what to eat and I am scared to eat! i am off work now because my hands are so badly cracking and swollen.

What can I do in the meantime to keep sane?

Any suggestions welcome  :rolleyes:

I can't suggest anything to keep same, I am convinced I list my sanity a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Oh, wait, that's Star Wars. But anywho, I've never been sane.

But in all seriousness, it would probably be beneficial to start researching things you are going to have to change. Your diet, restaurants you go out to, is your family going gluten free with you or just you? If just you, then separate cooking equipment (pots, pans, strainers, etc) and prep area. In the short term it will likely make you more confused/list/upset/angry/ect, but in the long run. It would make the transition easier having an action plan set up to go gluten free. :-)

Is  there  sane  people  left in our  society????/  Make  sure  you get  the total  celiac  panel  of  blood  work  &  the  same  for  your thyroid...  Thyroid  & celiac  go hand  in hand.....

Being  sane  is  over  rated  I think!!!!!

You probably have a lot to learn. When I started this, I read from morning to night for about 6 or 7 days non stop. What kept me sane was I watched a couple hours of a comedian on U tube, went outside and read a book, listened to music. I didn't have the energy to go for a walk, but getting away and stop thinking about the what ifs and how could I handle this, helped me.

 

Being afraid of food is the worst! Try a food diary. Maybe you can find a few foods that you don't react to. Write down what you eat and when. Once you find those, you can add one at a time.Then it's easier to figure out what is a problem. Waiting is the worst. Hang in there. I hope you can find some answers soon.

I completely get where you are coming from.  I am going through a similar situation at the moment.  Almost 2 weeks waiting for blood tests. (The lab messed up). Ana tests came back positive, although my pcp pretty much just blew them off.  I have another round of blood tests next week along with a few breath tests.  A endoscopy and colonoscopy scheduled for mid June.  And having to eat gluten even though it makes me sick every time I do.  I have had my share of mini meltdowns.  The thing that is keeping me sane is reminding myself that every day I get one step closer to finally getting answers and feeling better.  And that I am so much closer now then I was when all this started 10 years ago. ( I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism)   Just take it one day at a time.  Learn as much as you can.  I've been googling every question that has popped into my head for the last 2 months.  Also, good books, funny movies, great friends and warm hugs.  :)

I hope you get some answers soon.  Keep us updated.

Hi Elless,

 

Was your hypotyroidism due to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?  Hashimoto's is also an autio-immune disease and sometimes occurs with celiac disease.  They test for Hashi's by checking TPO antibodies.

I've never been formally diagnosed with Hashimoto's however I've assumed that is what I had for a few years now.  When I was first diagnosed, I was only borderline.  I started on a .65 mg of synthroid and now I am up to a .1mg dose.  For about 6 years, I thought that all my symptoms were thyroid related.  But I've seen 3 Drs and they have all done Thyroid tests that came back ok.  I only really started thinking celiac for about a month now after I started narrowing down foods to see what was causing my stomach issues.  When I realized breads and things make my symptoms flare up I started looking into Celiac and saw the link between that and hashimotos.  I'm about 99% sure that the tests will come back positive for celiac.  Especially since auto-immune diseases run in the family on both sides.  Three of my aunts were just diagnosed with Lupus.  Right now its just about the waiting game, and feeling like crap.  I feel like its important to go through it and get the diagnoses that way if it does come back positive I can encourage family members to get tested.  I suspect my mom could have it as well.  (Lactose Intolerant, low iron, low blood sugar, low vitamin b12, joint pain)

Hi Elless,

 

I don't think the doctors usually test for Hashimoto's when they test for other thyroid issues.  It would be something you'd have to prod them to do, since it is kind of a rare condition.  You are right, AI diseases do tend to run in families.  If you search on celiac disease and related condition or associated condition there are lists of related AI diseases.  Hopefully you will get a clear test result and your family members will listen.

 

Your mom does have symptoms that fit.  Probably a hydrogen breath test for lactose intolerance?  There's another breath test too but I forget what it is.  Oh yeah, alcohol!  Nope, there's another one besides that..   Anyway, if you can it would be a good idea to get paper copies of your test results for your personal records.  They might help convince the family members to get tested.

 

Have you tried Pepto Bismol for gut pain?  Peppermint is also helpful for getting gas out of the stomach.  By the way, welcome to the forum! :)

I have the breath test for Lactose scheduled next week as well as the other one, the fructose breath test.  (Not alcohol.  Haha)  When all these tests are done, I will probably push for the Hashimotos as well as the Lupus test.  My ANA tests did come back positive. 

 

I have tried everything.  Peppermint, pepto, you name it, nothing helps. The only time I didn't have gas/bloating was the week and a half I went gluten free.   The minute I went back on the gluten I was sick with in 30 min.   <_<    And thanks for the welcome!  :D

Elles, I had the same experience with nothing helping, then after it was mentioned by my nutritionist I did a reverse gluten challenge (officially coining that term) and began noticing improvements in a couple days, and definitely noticed them after a week. Then I went back to eating gluten after a week and a half and was in the ER with worse symptoms than before just to have discharge papers say "unexplained abdominal pain"...my primary complaint as a Dx, I could have done that myself. I'm still working on getting the insurance to pay for testing, but will likely have to go pay out of pocket at a walk-in lab.

Ha Ha! :)  Well, if the lactose is positive you can eliminate that one anyway.  Dairy can cause a lot of bloating and gas.  Inflating an inflamed, irritated gut can be a bit painful.  So eliminating dairy may help with the pain.  After the test of course.  They do make lactaid pills but I suggest you don't use those.  At least not for the first 6 months of the gluten-free diet, if you do start one.  It's better to just eliminate dairy for that time IMHO.  The nice thing is you don't have to wait for the celiac testing to complete before eliminating dairy.  You can eliminate it after the lactose test next week.  That may improve things a bit.

 

I used to get sick within 30 minutes of eating gluten also.  Might still but it's been a few years now so I don't know how fast my reaction would be today.  And I don't want to find out! :)

Georgia-Guy:  I'm sorry you have to go through all that with your insurance to get a Dx.  I am very fortunate that I have great insurance.  Blood tests are free, copays are 10, and I have a 5000 hra that I can get anything medical reimbursed.  That's why I'm pretty much pushing to get it all done.  It's terrible how much people have to pay just to feel better when they get sick. 

 

GFinDC:  From what I understand, you don't need to be eating a full lactose night on the breath test.  I just have to drink 12 ounces of milk 3 hours before and fast from everything else.  For the most part I have eliminated most dairy.  Before sending me to the GI, my primary sent me home with directions to go lactose free for a month.  It helped a little, but I was still bloated/gassy/ constipated.  But I notice now when I have dairy and gluten together, I am in the bathroom pretty much consistently for 2 days.  Its terrible

30 min is about how long it takes for gluten to start showing itself in me. That's why the gluten I eat while waiting for the tests is at night close to bed time. I drive all day long for work, and when I stop at the gas station to get some munchie food, they tend to look at me weird and ask why I'm staring at the labels for so long. (Normally it's the women on a "get ready for summer" diet who do that apparently.)

But as a side note, you don't think a little experiment would be fun? JK!

I havent been diagnosed with anything yet as I am waiting for my health insurance to start back up (money issues) but this happened to me recently where I went to the ER with nothing to show for after having abdominal pains and intense bloating.

 

They put xantec through and IV and sent me home. The anxiety from not knowing exactly what is going on with my body is a struggle and I'm trying to be positive though some nights I don't sleep much.

I feel your pain...and everyone else's here! How long do these tests take?! The waiting is awful. Not only can I not stomach gluten, dairy or meat right now, but I have no appetite to eat anything. I fear the 30minutes afterwards: will I be sick? Bloated? Diarrhea or worse?

The worst part is trying to explain the skin rash, swelling and pain in my hands and legs.i don't even want to go outside. It's 26degrees everyone is wearing tshirt/shorts and I'm dressed for winter long pants and sweater bc I am cold and hide my arms/legs. No, what!s worse is the people you need as support saying gluten allergy is BS-why wasn't it around before.

Feeling so low right now.

Hah! Yes it is terrible!  I used to have several Uncle John's Bathroom Reader books for the long spells of intense contemplation.  When you are getting rid of useless drivel at a prodigious rate it's good to replace it right away! :)  The dairy-free helping is a sign of something.  Lactose intolerance is somewhat common in new celiacs because the enzymes that digest lactose are made by the villi lining the gut.  Or rather it was made by the villi before they were wiped out/eroded by antibodies attacks.

Hmm, let me stink about it.  I think NO, I don't want to test it!  Sassin-frassin Georgia-guy!  (Insert several colorful Homerism here).  :D

 

Yep tho, within 30 minutes I would start getting some rather nasty smellin belches from my pie digester (stomach).  I always knew then that I was in trouble and it was going to be a bit of a ride.  I don't miss those days at all!

Hi all,

 

Still waiting for results...the rash and itching is all over. Last night my legs were so swollen and painful I could hardly walk!

Face is still puffy and itchy with the same rash. Ugh. I have become a hermit...going outside is too embarrassing and people just look at me strange. Explaining everything is getting too tiresome.

I slept ALL DAY today. What is up with that? So not like me.

:blink: 

Doctor just called...blood work does not show any autoimmune disorder and thyroid is normal. 

What does that mean? I still have no answers!

Guess I am going back to him tomorrow for an explaination...how can I fix this?!

:angry:

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
