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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
