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.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to...

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
