Poisoned <sigh>

One week ago I found out I was wheat intolerant. I cut all wheat and gluten out of my diet and felt like I was on cloud 9. It was the best I felt in 6 months! I had some soup this weekend (chicken with rice) outside and I think it made me relapse. This happened on Sunday afternoon and I still have a headache, fatigue, god awful gas, foggy vision and an expanded pouch (stomach)....It this normal???????????????

I never want to touch gluten again. Although, I need to do the small biopsy which would require me to poison myself for a week.....<double sigh>

Thanks for any help. This site is terrific!

Hi Nicole,

Welcome! Glad you were feeling better, but like most of us, you've been glutened. Feeling better will vary from person to person, but I think within the next couple of days you will be there. Just drink herbal tea, eat bland foods, and drink lots of water.

Feel better soon!

Hi Carrie,

Thanks for the suggestions. I got a big jug of water and I'll try to eat light.

Take Care,

Nicole

I just realized California Rolls have gluten in them b/c it's fake crab meat. It this true?

Yep. Crab with a "K" is totally off limits. The other things to watch for with sushi is reconstituted wasabi can have wheat added to it. (If its not fresh and comes out of a tube thats a red flag). Some lower end sushi chains have been known to coat their seaweed with soysauce before preparing it, which makes everything that had seaweed in it off-limits, but this is rare in any real sushi establishment, more a fast-food sushi phenomenon.

The "spicy" condiments used in things like the spicy tuna can also have wheat in them, and most places don't know, so I tend not to eat those. Anything made with dashi is off-limits, which means most miso soups served in restaurants and most dynamites are off-limits as well. The good news is, besides all that there is many sushi items we can eat and I eat sushi all the time.

Your picture is very cool!

When I get glutened, it definitely lasts for a few days.

You said you need the biopsy, that is really your choice. If you want it, then get it. But, if you are having such a positive dietary response, do you really want to go back on gluten just so a test confirms what the diet already has? It is your choice, but personally, no one will ever make me eat gluten, no matter what. If you start eating gluten again you will cause more damage which will take time to heal. So, ever if you think you can take being sick for a week or so, do you really want to do more damage?

Hi Nicole--Sorry you got glutened--it happens to the best of us :D . I don't think a week is enough time on gluten to make a difference in a biopsy, when you've been completely off of it for a while. Did you find out you were gluten intolerant by blood testing? If so, that is a diagnosis right there--also, the positive response to the gluten-free diet is a valid means of diagnosis :)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
