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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
