Could It Be Stress?

I have a question: Can you have a gluten type reaction from stress? I have been feeling well for a week or so (since my last accidental glutening) and then today I feel like someone beat me up and I keep running to the bathroom. I don't think I got any gluten this time, but my little girl is sick and that stresses me out big time. I didn't really get any sleep last night because I kept checking on her. She has a tendency to get pnuamonia and started having those signs yesterday along with a high fever.....

Needless to say I am worn out with all the worrying! So if anyone knows if stress can do this to you, please let me know!!!!

Thanks,

Lollie

Yes! Being stressed and worn out always triggers tummy trouble with me. I've even started to include a stress scale in my food log so I can how it correlates to my stomach.

I'd say try and relax, but I know how it is when your baby is sick :(

I definatly think it could be. I've been D & C free since I went gluten free. Ate the same things this week that I usually do. Well......was I ever feeling sick. Only one thing was different....I was stressed out!

Our bank's internet system was hacked into, and guess who's bank accounts were emptied out :o

Oh no!--No wonder you're stressed out. I know when I'm under a lot of stress, it affects me physically as well. Laura--hope the baby feels better soon :)

Thanks guys!!! I kind of figured it's the stress- but it is so nice to have others agree and affirm!

My baby is doing better today. We went to the doc this morning, her lungs sounded good, but the doc went ahead and prescribed the normal anibiotics and vapor treatments. In case she gets worse. I'm really hoping she fights it back this time!

francelajoie- So sorry about your bank account- it makes my stomache knot up just to think of it!!!! I hope they find out who did this quickly and restore your account!

My dr. refers to our guts as a "second brain", that it has the same hormones/chemicals as our brain does and that's why it reacts to stress.

Also helps explain why since going on an anti-depressant my IBS has cleared up tremendously!!

Maybe that's why I always get a "gut feeling" about when my kids are ill! Something to think about!!!!!!

STRESS DOES IT TO ME--ALMOST EVERY TIME--KEEPING A STRESS JOURNAL BESIDE THE FOOD is the answer I found OUT when recording this...

that's why they always said IBS..to me for years.

I haven't answered your email, sorry...will get to it but just went on line here..and got caught up in reading the 'get together' thread...emails as easier than jumping around on the site...

SOOOO

NOW BACK TO STRESS...Kinzie being sick has done it in my humble opinon..and not getting sleep b/c you were up all nite off and on cking on her...and bet you weren't eating much for yourself.

'bankaccount' post... :ph34r: bet you had some reaction to the stress of that :( How horrid.. :blink:

Interesting you posted today lollie b/c i keep being reminded of this...too...

this am worked like a dog getting 'all chores' done to FINALLY make swimming class since before i left and went to CA. Went out to get into the car.....it wouldn't start AGAIN...6th time since we've been home from CA.. $900.00 spent the day before we left to FIX it...so spent 4 hr's with AAA and phones,,ran to get 'shampoo / conditioner to take to hair apt .....came home fixed abunch of foods to for dinner tonight and other dinners...and them

EXPLOSIVE D AND 1/2 HR CLEAN UP...LAYING DOWN WITH HEATING PAD...

I WAS WONDERFING IF IT WAS THE HILSHIRE FARMS HOT DOGS LAST NITE..THOUGHT THEY WERE gluten-free..

BUT NOW...MAYBE??? BUT WHAT EVER THE STRESS USUALLY IS THE 'TRIGGER' THAT THROUGHS ME OVER THE EDGE.....AND NOT TAKING SOME QUITE TIME FOR ME TO UNWIND BEFORE I JUMPED INTO COOKING.

HOPE KINZIE IS DOING BETTER...HUGS TO YOU BOTH.

Yeah, I haven't been taking very good care of myself, and I haven't eaten well.....

I had DH pick up some good food from the Central Market on the way home, so hopeful now I will feel better. But I think probably I will feel better when Kinzie feels better! She took a long nap this afternoon, and when she woke up she was back up to 102! :( I hope I don't have to get the antibiotic for her, but if the fever persists, I guess she will have to. Even worse, she's going to have to miss a western theme day at school, with performers and all. We had a little western out-fit already for her!!!! Oh well, we do live in Texas.....

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
