Something strange is my best description at the moment, that feels eerily familiar in a not fun way. This morning, I started to feel really out of it, eg extremely tired falling asleep on the sofa with aching joints and heavy feeling arms and legs. Following fun moments of where is my brains today as in misplacing items I am holding while turning my house upside down to find it and other not fun moments. I am trying to figure out what could I have consumed that would gluten me but I'm at a loss. I'd blame the flu which is been going around my town big time , cept I honestly can't say if that's it. Could you still get glutened from a plastic fork if it was washed? I want to say no, but right now that's my only lead as I had the flu already. I'm really searching thru my logs and things and nothing else seems to make sense.

If it were the flu you would feel like you got hit by a truck.  You would also have a high fever, 103 or so.  One of my friends posted that her eyes even hurt.  Trust me, if you had the flu, you would know!!

 

Highly unlikely you got glutened from a plastic fork that had been washed.  Hard to speculate without seeing your food logs.  Anything newish that you have eaten?  Any Christmas baking you have done?

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
