Horrible Weekend

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

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
