I Ate Some Bad Things And I'm Noticing Strange Symptoms

I'm pretty good at being gluten free, but the las two times I've had my period I've really messed up.

this weekend was my worst yet.

First my husband brought me home a blizzard with brownies.. I ate almost all of it. You can't do that to a woman on her cycle!!!

He didn't even think about the brownies.

I was itching so badly. I have dh horribly.

But today I noticed I am not only itching badly, but I keep getting sharp stabbing pains in my hip joints, my wrists, fingers and neck.

Its strange how much I've noticed the problems I had in the past.

Sarah, it looks like you get neurological symptoms from gluten, as well as the DH. Hopefully you will remember those before you knowingly eat gluten again (and give your husband a kick in the behind for me for bringing you a gluteny treat!).

Maybe next time you can have some gluten-free brownies ready to go! And enlist your husband's help. No bringing home gluten treats at any time of the month!

Great advice! In addition to the brownies (hide some in the back of the freezer) and some of your favorite gluten free chocolate (hidden), have some gluten free ice cream on hand. And honestly, the longer i'm gluten free, the better my PMS is, and the fewer cravings I have during the month.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
