Really Scary Experience

Yesterday afternoon I had a philly steak sandwhich(no bun) from a place that is aware of my condition and tries really hard to fix my food. About half an hour after eating I felt the familiar rumble. I went to the bathroom and realized that I was going to be awhile so I left work and went home. After several trips to the bathroom, and (sorry) vomitting once I went to stand up and all my muscles started shaking to the point I had to hold on to the walls to get to the bedroom. I sat on the side of the bed and wondered what was going on. I looked at the clock and it was 3:32, the phone rang and it was my son checking on me. He said "Well I'll let you get back to sleep." I looked at the clock because I hadn't been sleeping and it was 4:05. I don't know if I passed out, fell asleep, or what. The rest of the eving I was weak and didn't eat. Any ideas???

Hope you're better this a.m. Sounds like you got glutened big time. Don't know about all of your symptoms, but it does sound like it was a shock to your system.

i feel like this when glutend but am not phisically sick. if these are your regular symptoms of glutening dont worry you will return to normal soon otherwise if its not you may have some food poisoning, go to your doc if you are unsure.

Weird. Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. I started getting really weak and confused and could barely make it up the stairs to my apartment. Then I started shaking uncontrollably and was freezing cold even though it was in the 90s that day. I threw up and then pretty much passed out because I felt like I was going to die. The next day I stayed home from work because I felt like I was recovering from the flu. Not sure if this is the same thing. I couldn't trace it back to gluten and I never react to gluten like that so I have no idea.

Sounds similar. I was cold too and wrapped up in a blanket with it 98 outside.

Jenny, that sounds more like food poisoning to me than a gluten reaction. But since it came back out both ends in a big hurry :blink: you may have gotten rid of whatever it was quick, and will probably be better soon. I hope you'll be okay for your anniversary celebration!

Actually, if you have severe diarrhea combined with vomiting than you could develop hypokalemia, which is potentially serious. Next time it happens I would go to the E.R. for fluid and electrolytes replacement.....although you could have just been tired/dehydrated.

I would say gluten except for the weak muscles thing. I agree with Ursula, it sounds more like food poisoning than anything. Hope you are feeling better this morning.

      To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is...

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
