I Hate Getting Glutened At Night

I don't know what did it this time. Probably cross contamination. My husband made dinner tonight (yum!), but I'm pretty sure he had contaminated hands before he started because when I went out to the garage I noticed a McD's bag in his car. He has a long commute... I was suspecting I got glutened earlier, especially after seeing the McD's bag, but until I tried to go to bed and get some sleep, I wasn't sure. Sure enough, racing thoughts, buzzing brain, obsessing about relatively minor occurances. Like, one time I accidentally discovered that didn't have the money to leave a tip and didn't apologize. I've been obsessing/beating myself up about that for over an hour. Before that it was that my daughter (who had a fever today) is going to miss school next week, but I have doctor appts, so what am I going to do and who can I find to babysit. On Monday. Four days from now. When she'll logically be over whatever random virus she has right now. :rolleyes:

I'm SOOOOOO glad this doesn't happen every night anymore. And it used to. I don't know how I got through that for all those years. To think that I used to think that that was ME... Knowing now that it's the gluten that does that... It just really creeps me out.

Gluten is messed up. And why does it have to stick to everything???

Wow! You really sound like you get the neurological thing going bad! I had chronic,life-long depression before I went gluten-free. Thank God for psychotrophic drugs(in my case Prozac) until I figured out what was wrong!

I use catmint(sedative)/meditation/self-help books with positive reinforcement and hope for the best. My syptoms are more physical but I do tend to get uptight/obsessive about stuff too if I don't watch it and remind myself it's a symptom of a reaction. Also, I noticed that regular exercize helps me with everything including getting sick/glutened and managing my symptoms. You might also want to see if there is something your Dr. can do for you on these occassions. Sounds very intense.PJ

Not sure if your response is directed at me or Nantzie, if me - I am getting better- honestly even my longsuffering boys have said so.

When I have been glutened I get a restless night. I used to stress out about everything when I was a teenager trying to sleep. But that has improved a lot over the years. I was a worrier, I still am.

But now being gluten free for 8 months, I have a very disturbed sleep, when glutened, tossing and turning. The other morning I wrote in my food diary "Dark shades in my sleep" Idon't think that meant I had my sunnies on! I had a cough that night too, I don't know if that is related, as I seem to get a bit congested in the nose as well when I have gluten, and at times when I don't. The telling thing for me, is that I will trip over my speech the next day. Forever say the wrong word for what I mean, but tripping over words is quite exasperating.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free...

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
