The Evil Vilain Gluten Strikes Again When You Least Expect It!

Have become gluten obsessed to the point where no matter what happens, I seem to blame it on GLUTEN! Like he is a bad guy stalking me and ruining my day...I wish we had a little gluten cartoon character and we could have a little cartoon superhero kick his butt!

Yesterday I got a parking ticket....yup you got it...it was gluten, striking again when I least expected it!

(My first thought was "damn, can't blame it on gluten...but I will anyway!") LOL! It made me laugh, so I thought I would start a thread where we can just blame EVERYTHING on the evil gluten.

By the way, gluten also made me miss the garbage truck yesterday and also made me spill mustard on my favorite pants, and made me forget my running shoes at home last week when I needed them to teach a class.

He he he he :rolleyes:

Now lets see .... It was gluten that made me forget to mend hubby's pants yesterday ... come to think of it, gluten must be the culprit again today, because the pants are still on my sewing machine. :lol:

It definitely must have been gluten that caused it to be 15 degrees colder, windier and rainier than yesterday - spoiling all plans of planting Oleanders in our backyard! :D

Hilarious - yes, let's blame gluten for every bad thing - -

Even during my sleep, gluten haunts me.....the other night ( I do weird things during my sleep folks) I kept feeling that something awful was trying to get into my bedroom (whilst sleeping) and I HAD to keep it out....yup, it was GLUTEN....so I actually got up, walked out into the living room, grabbed a side chair weighing about 40 pounds or so, and wedged it into the doorway of my bedroom (why I didn't just close the door, I do not know :blink: ). All of this while being pretty much asleep...minutes later my dog was whining outside the door, wanting in. I awoke and saw the chair and realized what had happened.....ABSOLUTE MADNESS. :huh:

Yup, gluten all right.....

Okay, I have to admit to this. Gluten and I are cahoots. I send him off to reak havoc on others lives in hopes he will leave me alone. Now Gluten is not that bright, he forgets where he is to go and he comes and causes me grief.

Remember the old saying "The Devil made me do it." Well we have a new one, "Gluten made me do it." When the police stop you and say, "did you know you were speeding?" You can say, "Gluten made me do it."

Excellent, Rusla, maybe this would explain my 17 speeding tickets (all in the past....proud to say I have a clean record now) :ph34r:

I think it's only fair that I start blaming everything on the gluten--after all, look what it's put me through :D . Gluten--consider the tables turned! B)

Gluten is rude, gluten stinks. Gluten is arrogant and self-absorbed. Gluten sets off to make our lives a living torture. Gluten is a terrorist and thinks it is better than everyone else.

Gluten is a bully and makes us drive fast.

So on our t-shirts above;" #5, with added attractions" we should have "Gluten made me do it." On the back, "Gluten Busters"

Yes, now that I am not at work. Gluten messed up the whole day there and worse than that I could smell it, it smells like trouble and I yelled"gluten, you evil beast stay away from me.' Then being possessed by all that is evil it made me spend copious amounts of money on gluten-free food and chocolate.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
