Horrible Weekend


MallysMama

I had the worst weekend...and I need to vent about it. I had been doing so good (or so I thought) for a little while of not cheating. Then on Friday morning I started to feel sick....then it progressed into the horrible, gut-wrenching-wanna-curl-up-and-die PAIN! I don't have a clue what I ate to make me feel this way. I'm still baffled at what caused this. Well anyway- I had to work at 11:30 until 4:30. So, I went to work - trying to work through the pain (if I kept moving and didn't breathe - I was "okay"...haha). My boss asked if I was awake yet...and I told him I was but in pain. So, he was aware of the situation - but I tried not to make it a big deal....it was a really busy day. Well anyway - about 2 hours into my shift, I was kneeling down at a table taking their order when my vision started to go really blurry...and everything was starting to "fade away." (I've never passed out before - so I'm not sure if this is what happened.) I barely made it into the back area when I kinda just collapsed down to my knees and put my head in my hands. All I could hear was food frying. It was really busy - but I couldn't hear anyone talking or anything. It was so scarey! One of the other servers finally noticed me and asked if I was okay (I guess I said no). He got my boss and they helped me back into the office. I was so shakey and hyper-ventillating, etc. They called my hubby to come get me. He said I looked like death rolled over when I came out to the car. I was in so much pain.

Well, the pains finally went away around 4...but I had a lasting headache for another 12 hours. The next day (we went to visit my family for my mom's b-day - two hours north - we left on Friday night)....we decided to order lunch from Outback (since I knew what I could and couldn't eat)...kinda for my mom's birthday (and to feed all the guys helping my dad do some landscaping in their yard). Well, shortly after eating my salad - here we go again! The pains weren't quite so bad and didn't last as long - but were not fun just the same. I was so afraid to eat anything after that!! I haven't felt this way in so long. Normally when I cheat - I spend a while in the bathroom and then I'm fine (if it's "bad" - the gas lasts for awhile...but normally I'm fine shortly after).

To make matters worse - our car was broken into (the one left in the parking lot where I work - when my hubby had to pick me up and then we left for the weekend)...nothing in it to steal - but had to get the drivers window replaced. Ugh!! And my daughter has a yucky ear infection and cold! And I either caught her cold or my allergies are acting up (since it's getting warmer and the wind is blowing a lot).

To make matters even worse! (haha!) My hubby wanted to eat fast food tonight - and I decided I was probably okay to do so too. We ate Carl's Jr. I got the "low carb" burger (since it comes with no bun)... and fries. I was leary about the fries - but cross contamination has never seemed to bother me before. *UGH* Oh my! Right this minute my tummy is gurgling and tossing and turning and I'll be runnin to the bathroom (for the 3rd time) any minute! No horid pains like friday and saturday - but not quite normal either. I don't get it! What happened to me!? This sucks!

Well, that is exactly how I felt all summer last summer, before figuring out I have celiac disease, I was soooooooooo sick! Maybe all the cheating is finally catching up with you? Do your utmost to be gluten free from this minute (no risks, like with the fries, you obviously got glutened), and hopefully you'll feel better soon. It seems that suddenly you KNOW when you get glutened, you get a horrible reaction. Who knows why now, and not before. Now you know how we feel when glutened! Not that I wish it on you, but maybe its your wakeup call, to finally understand what you've been doing to yourself.

Enough preaching, I am truly sorry you are feeling so bad. But maybe it's a good thing, because hopefully now you take the diet seriously, and understand that cheating is really, really a terrible idea!

Nothing worse than getting glutened. I had this happen a few weeks ago. My first since I went gluten-free in february 2006. I was sick for a couple of weeks and finally needed to call the doc for help. I was miserable. I was advised by the doc and others on this site to eat veggies, fruit and fresh meat. I have done exactly that. I feel better. hope it works for you too. Tara

I'm sorry you are feeling so bad... I hope you feel better soon... Keep in mind, it could also just be a virus that is making you sick... if you are being careful and trying to avoid cc and avoid cheating, there is always the chance that it's a bug, OR even other intolerances. If it is gluten, and you still can't figure out where you may have gotten glutened, it may be time for a complete back to basics approach.

oh and sorry about the car too, that really sux

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.

      Are you taking a B 6 supplement or a supplement containing B 6 like a B Complex?  Do you have pins and needles in your toes?   Don't worry about the thiamine being high.  The blood is a transport system that carries thiamine to the cells so they can store it.  It's fine.  
    • badastronaut
      Quick question, had some blood tests done again and once again my zinc was too low but now ofcourse my B1 was too high and so was my B6. The doc said to  immediately  stop all supplements that contain B6. Can using thiamine raise the levels of B6 too?
