Jenny's First Glutening...

I glutened us tonight. Not entirely sure what it was, maybe cc? I started getting a slight headache after dinner and was WAY irritated at the kids. So I knew something was up. I was hoping that she wouldn't react, or that it was maybe me cc'ing myself, but not her food.

Usually, when she goes to bed, we read a couple books, and then she lays down and goes to sleep (she's always been good with going to bed).

Tonight, every time I walked past her door, she wanted me to come in and get another kiss and hug, which she's never, ever asked for before. And she kept affirming with me that I wasn't going anywhere. She also wanted me to go to bed in my room, I think because if she looks out her door, she can kind of see into our room if we leave the door open. I finally changed into my nightshirt because she was really getting freaked out that I was going to go somewhere. That helped for a little while until I took out the garbage. She heard the front door open and screamed bloodly murder because she thought I was leaving.

This is so unlike her. So I know, combined with my own headache, that gluten must have gotten in there somewhere. At this point, a few hours later, my headache is gone, and Jenny is fast asleep, so it must have been a small amount, but this really confirms that she's got a gluten issue. I've always reacted quickly, and recovered quickly, so hopefully she'll be fine in the morning.

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
