Almost Glutened by a Raven !!

The purpose of this little story is to give you all a smile and to say gluten lurks everywhere, even where we least expect it!

We live in a rural area with a lot of wild creatures close by.  Yesterday a raven flew overhead and dropped a piece of whole wheat bread, smack, in the middle of our small doggie yard.  We saw the raven fly over and we saw it drop the bread!  We were in the doggie yard in a heartbeat to retrieve the bread before any dogs could find it.  I couldn't help but laugh at the thought that had we not seen it happen, had one of the dogs eaten that bread and then given me a slurpy doggie kiss - ooops!  I could have been a little sick that night and never known the true why!

Very believeable Elijah!  Is your back yard near a brook?  Did they bring you hot dogs too? :)

 1 Kings 17 reference

Open Original Shared LinkGet thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. Open Original Shared LinkAnd it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. Open Original Shared LinkSo he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that isbefore Jordan. Open Original Shared LinkAnd the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook. Open Original Shared LinkAnd it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. Open Original Shared LinkAnd the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Open Original Shared LinkArise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.

Oh my gosh! You are so right; you would have driven yourself crazy trying to figure out how you had gotten glutened. I'm glad you saw it happen & were able to retrieve it before the doggies could get it. Now that the danger is over; it is a funny story.

      Blood results

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.

      Blood results

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.
