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?

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs.

      @knitty kitty are you kidding? I had no idea about the casein!! No one ever mentioned that to me at all!! I basically live off that milk! I have also wondered if I have Sjorgen's , but I haven't been to the doctor yet. Can you get the TTFD over the counter? I do have dysphasia and I have lysine I just haven't been good about taking it. I am so glad I found...

      Oh, my dear! Get off that Fairlife chocolate protein shake! That's got milk in it! Egads! Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.

I am so glad I found this group and all of you with all this helpful information!! I thought I was going crazy!!  I have sebaceous hyperplasia too- is that related to Celiac?  OH , and I wanted to ask if there is a site where I could find information on mental health issues , with celiac safe facilities??

      Oh, my dear!  Get off that Fairlife chocolate protein shake!  That's got milk in it!  Egads! Some people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  If the villi grow back, they can resume making lactase again.   I react to casein and lactose both.  I get sores in my mouth and coated tongue, and inflammation, my Dermatitis Herpetiformis flares up, I get cold sores or shingles, and TMJ pain, well, joint pain in general, and my brain health is really affected, depression and anxiety.  So dairy is a really scary horror movie.     I take Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD  (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These have anti-viral properties.   I've had chicken pox/shingles, and I also harbor the cold sore herpes virus which traveled to one eye through a nerve. It's broken now.  I had really bad nerve pain in my check at the time, then it turned into Bell's Palsy.  Thiamine TTFD helped clear up the dysphagia I was also experiencing then.  I took lots of Lysine to fight the herpes viruses as well.  Between the Thiamine TTFD and the Lysine, and avoiding dairy, mine stays dormant for the most part.   I also take a B Complex, and Magnesium Threonate to help the Thiamine TTFD work, Vitamin C, Vitamins A and D, and Zinc supplements to help Thiamine TTFD fight off those viruses. I have Sjogren's so I understand dry eye and mouth.  I found including Omega Threes, healthy fats, improved my problem.  You know how oil floats on top of water?  That's going on in our body, too.  Flaxseed oil supplements, and flaxseed oil to use on food is one way I increased my Omega Threes.  Choline and sunflower seed oil supplements are other choices I've tried.  Eat real food!  Eat fresh vegetables and fruit!  I had cooked stew in a crockpot until super mushy so I could chew and swallow it without lots of pain.  I got a bag of mandarin oranges, Cuties, whatever they're called now.  They're not too acidic.  Gluten free crackers don't have any nutritional value, no vitamins.   I followed the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  The book The Paleo Approach by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne has been most helpful.  She's a Celiac herself, and the diet has been shown to improve intestinal health. I have seen liquid vitamins on line.  Thiamine TTFD comes in a capsule, but tastes really strongly of garlic, so be prepared if your Gatorade tastes funny.
