I Feel Like Hot Garbage

I went to visit family today. Made food last night for today and brought snacks.  Didn't eat a thing besides what I brought, even brought utensils, ate from my containers. I had bakery on main certified gluten free oatmeal for breakfast, which has quinoa and amaranth too. Took enzymes before eating and I still had a little pain and now I had D. Ughhh last night my bf was out with friends and ate a bunch of trash (no gluten allowed in our house), he has a gluten issue but no gene for celiac. I think it's a fodmap problem. He was up till 3 which means I was up off and on till then also. 

 

Not sure why I'm feeling like trash, it is impossible that I had gluten, but I'm concerned that I'm having a problem with oats (been ok with quinoa and amaranth) is it possible that lack of sleep and family stress is what's going on?

There is a bad GI bug going around, maybe you are just sick and it's nothing to do with celiac disease?  Stress can also cause a lot of problems.

Might be a good idea to drop the gluten-free oats for bit. I think it is advised we not add them into our diet until we have healed well. Drop them and then when you have been feeling okay for a while add them back in and see if you react.

There are some celiacs without one of the two commonly tested for genes. Hopefully your BF had other testing done as well before going gluten free. It sounds like he knows he has an issue with gluten but uses a lack of diagnosis as a reason to binge now and then. If his reactions are severe he should avoid it whether he has an official diagnosis of not. 

Sorry you are feeling so poorly right now and hope you improve soon.

I can't deal with his food issues, I really need to watch out for myself for now. He thinks I might have gotten gluten in my mouth from the kids. They had pancakes before we saw them and cookies while we were there. I was so careful not to touch my face, so irritated with myself! My stomach is still feeling rumbly. I was unsure about the oats, I googled but I couldn't find anything about if it was ok to eat gluten free oats after being recently diagnosed. Usually any cc leads to neurological issues for me like feeling dizzy, wobbly, tired and foggy. I felt like that before we arrived at my family's house. Then after I had stomach issues, I either ingested crumbs from the kids somehow or the stress is just bothering me from my grams nagging me and the traveling.

Day 5 of feeling like poo here, my couch is my best friend.  Debating if I want to actually brave going to the doctor or suck it up some more and see if it gets better on it's own.  I am just worried I am heading to a bout of diverticulitis right now.

If you're in the Midwest, it could be shegella. There have been outbreaks here in South Dakota, Texas, Indiana, and other places. If you're going to pick it up, it would likely be from kids. They say it can last from 5 to 7 days or in some cases even more. Severe D, bad stomach cramps, and overwhelming fatigue.

User001, didn't you mention you were in NJ? I too am in NJ in the philly area. It has been rediculously humid here, and sometimes that can give me issues. Maybe it could be a little bug on top of the weather.

yes, i am in new jersey. I think my body doesn't handle stress well. I think between that and the oatmeal, might have done it. feeling lethargic and headachy today.

Boudin??

 

Yesterday we got a shkar( you know the ones who make those rolls) brand pizza and it was sooo delicious. The perfect cheese to sauce ratio. My bf cooked it on the oven rack so it was nice and crispy too. He sauteed some onions and green peppers for the top and chopped some black olives. totally hit the spot since my grandmother kept asking if we wanted pizza- all day while we were visiting.

 

Tonight I took some chicken, bell pepper, jalepeno, garlic carrot and onion and cooked that up in the wok and added some ginger and curry powder (badia is certified gluten free!) and made like a curry fried rice on the deck.. it was delicious. ate wayyyy too much.

Just saw what you were eating in the dinner thread.  If you are having gut issues, some of these foods can be pretty rough.  Also, hopefully the oven rack has not had a gluten pizza cooked on it recently?  

 

You might want to try some simpler, non-processed foods for a while until you are consistently feeling good.  Then add back in one or 2 processed or harder to digest foods at a time to see if you can handle them again.

I am actually feeling pretty good today, but thanks karen.

 

I am pretty sure it was the oatmeal because I started having symptoms on the ride up to my grandmas. Then my uncle lives downstairs and smokes inside and the smell kind of emanates through the house, that always makes me feel like crap. My symptoms were confined to after I ate the oatmeal till before our late dinner.The next morning I was a bit tired but my stomach was just hungry.

 

My house is 100% gluten free. We never made pizza before on the oven rack, but it has been scrubbed and run through the dishwasher anyway. Curry didn't seem to cause me any problems, I didn't think it would, it never has before. Quite the opposite actually, always has made me feel better than other foods. I attribute that to the tumeric and ginger, which are two things that have always helped my stomach and even my arthritis.

Sorry. It sounded like you were very ill for several days. But it was just some stomach issues for a few hours. Probably the oatmeal, then.

I think you may be in denial.  Those foods, even if they make you feel good, are not useful for your gut right now!  You are constantly posting that you feel like crap but don't seem to want to follow advice!  I think you should stick to very simple meals with no spices added.  You could have had just the Chicken and and carrots.  If you think oatmeal is a problem then don't eat it.  Stay away from all processed foods including pizza.  That's really all the advice I can give.  I hope you will give your gut a chance to heal before adding  the junk to it.  

 

Wish you well, I won't bother you anymore about this!

If you have reactive celiac (not sure on the labeling there) but the general idea is the lining of the intestines will respond as if glutened (to some degree of being glutened) simply by being stressed. It's know as reactive. I definantly would agree about getting glutened from the kids. I got two and they put hands, toes, toys, etc. right up in my face and sometimes straight in my mouth. Very irritating. Do you have gluten enzymes that you can take to help process through what you've gotten in your system?

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
