Got Glutened - It's So True!

Hello!

I've been gluten, dairy and egg free now for a couple of months (I think) - tested some chocolate blamange on holiday, and know that dairy def gives me D now! So now I believe that.

Was thinking about trying some bread, just to see if anything happened to me - but last night, for yesterday lunch, and night before, I'd done a stir fry with plum and hoi sin sauce (totally forgetting for the first time to read the ingredients!).

all day yesterday my stomach was making horrific noises (am known for my loud tummy rumblings!), which I realised it'd not done for quite a while. then after eating last night i was just so bloated and in a bit of pain, and in a foul foul foul irritable mood! thought it was just me being a cow, and eating too much, then read the hoi sin sauce and found it had wheat flour in it!

weird that some things seem to have cleared up that i didn't really notice as being a problem (loud stomach noises), until I get them again!

so now I also believe that wheat gluteny stuff is def a problem! can't believe i felt like i did last night for ages before i did the blood test and just thought it was normal!

hurrah!

Well, here you did your gluten challenge and didn't even mean to! I'm glad it gave you confirmation of definite gluten intolerance. But you better be more careful in the future!

Yep! You don't realize some of those things are gone until you mess up! :)

I will be more careful..had been so good, not even cheated at all (apart from on holiday once, but that as just to test it out...honest)

my cravings for things seem to have gone to be honest..everynow and then would love a big fat sandwich, or something covered in cheese..but then i can have lots of rice and meat! is getting a bit monotonous though..i dont even crave potatos anymore..which i can still eat and used to eat tonnes of them. brown rice is the way forward!

need to have a bash at making some pastry though or something so I can make a pie.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this relevant/helpful on Celiac.com.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.
