I Had The Gluten Dream...

I had this vivid, very vivid dream. I was in a ethnic food festival, and was at an exhibit where they were demonstrating how crackers were made in various countries throughout history. I could taste the delicious buttery goodness of the samples that were still warm. The crunch, the mix of air and grain that simulates fat, the light saltiness. Then, in a panic, is realized I could never eat any of it and was suddenly so profoundly sad.

You'd think that after a year and a half his would stop. But no. I still mourn. It's not that I don't have great food in my diet, but what I wouldn't give for a proper saltine. One without xantham gum, or tapioca starch or some other crap alternative.

Maybe it's just pms, but man am I having a pity party day.

I don't even even crave anything thing with gluten anymore in fact I fear it. I think the trick is to find something else you love that is satisfying. For treats I have on occasion Andy's frozen custard hot fudge sundae and what I did last week was find the most awesome delicious dark chocolate cake King Arthurs brand {very moist} even my kids loved it and they are not gluten free. I used betty crocker frosting. I think all the b.c. frostings are gluten free and soy free. If you like corn chips, Fritos reg. are gluten free. You just have to explore.

Oh I have treats I like enough, it was more the dream itself than a real craving.

Last night I dreamed I was told I'd been sleep-eating, going out to fast food places and eating gluten and not knowing it, and that was why I was still having issues.

I wish it was really that simple. I'd definitely prefer being locked in my room at night to never knowing if I can leave to 10m orbit around the bathroom that day or not.

Sleep eating ... LOL

 

I don't have gluten dreams but I do have day dreams and the occasional pity party, and that is after being gluten-free almost 3 years.  Lately I have been craving a big juicy burger, and ordering a dessert (cheesecake mmmmm) that isn't ice cream.

 

And travel... I have three gluten-free kids who are picky eaters so whenever we travel we stay in condos or cabins where I am still preparing three meals per day.  No rest for the wicked.

Every few months I have the gluten dream.  They are so vivid I actually can taste the food.  Then I panic in dream about getting sick.  It takes a few minutes after waking up to remember that I didn't actually go to McDonald's.

I have had the dream that I am at a party eating all the snacky foods. I don't crave the gluten but boy when I had to give up dairy that hit hard. Pain is a great motivator for me.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
