Why Did I Just Spend Half An Hour Hugging The Toilet?

i think it should be outlawed to have a bad day on your birthday. i think it should also be outlawed to have that bad day hang around for an additional even crappier day!

so here's the deal - been feeling sick most of the day (blood sugary headache...nauseated)...then just emptied my dinner in to the toilet. not feeling much better....

could it be --

1-dinner i ate an hour ago? shepherd's pie from Amy's...ate about half of it...wasn't very hungry

2-drugs...i went to dr yesterday to get antibiotics for UTI (woo hoo), took one last night, one this morning, have yet to take my evening pill

3-OTC UTI medication-the pain relief stuff that turns your urine orange (and subsequently, my dinner and my throat)

4-just a bad bad blood sugar day :P didn't eat enough this morning, been paying for it all afternoon

5-stress...big paper due tomorrow, was working on it all afternoon

blah, mostly needed to vent, but if anyone has any words of advice, that would be appreciated :)

thx all

ps....NOT a puking person...like once a year or so...usually comes out the other end :P sorry

I won't eat Amy's anymore. Amy's Shepherd's Pie got me big time! I was in incredible pain after eating that.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hugs.

my husband thinks it was the food. I doubt only because I usually have a different response to food. I thought it could be the medications, or the stress, as I have made myself ill in the past over anxiety.

He's also suggested that I could be pregnant (which I highly doubt....)

I want my mommy :(

Husbands just aren't the same when it comes to comforting and nursing...

I vote antibiotic, if it's a newer one to you. Biaxin does that to me.

Yikes, I'm sorry you had such a horrible birthday!!! I have only had one UTI in my life and it was the most miserable experience. I was nauseauted to begin with and then I took the meds to help it. I am hoping you feel better soon. Take it easy for a couple of days, your body needs to heal, and then make up a new birthday this year, you deserve to celebrate!!!

Antibiotics can do that to you, but I remember reading something a while back about Amy's Shepard's Pie being cross contaminated and a lot of people getting sick from it. I have one that's been in my freezer ever since, I just won't chance it.

Steph -

Sorry you had a crummy day . .. unfortunately, birthdays can be like that once you aren't living in your mother's house. You almost always have to make your own cake, on top of making dinner and doing the laundry and all the dishes. BLAH.

And I was actually going to suggest the pregnant thing . .. . but I usually found that I felt a lot better as soon as I threw up (well enough to go eat again . . . and usually well enough to keep it all down the second time).

Give me a call, and we'll play sometime. Maybe we could make you a late birthday cake!

Antibiotics usually upset my stomach. Sounds like what happened to you is a combination of food, meds, and stress. Hope you feel better soon. :unsure:

For me its the Amys. I got sick on way too many of her things. It also could be the antibiotic. I hope you feel better soon.

3-OTC UTI medication-the pain relief stuff that turns your urine orange (and subsequently, my dinner and my throat)

I took those pills once and they made me feel so nauseous and horrible and I have never taken them again. I don't know what was up with those pills. I took them years ago and I was playing a video game and I still feel nauseous if I see the cover of that game today. Those pills really messed with me. It was the wierdest thing ever. The antibiotics were fine.

Dear SweetFudge,

I am so sorry to hear how ill you have been. :( I always seem to be sick on my birthday, too.

I can so relate. This year will be tough, too since I have to go gluten-free. I am going to miss my usual cake! As far as the UTI goes, drinking two cups of cranberry juice daily helps kill that. Blueberry juice is better, but more difficult to find. Drink one cup of cranberry juice early and then again later in the day. The acid kills the E. Coli bacteria causing the infection in your bladder. How strange is it that a bacteria that is best known for causing terrible food poisoning is also responsible for UTIs? Anyhow, I hope you feel better soon. Also, are you hypoglycemic? I am as well. Eat small frequent meals throughout the day. Blood sugar levels can make you very ill if they drop too low. In severe cases, even convulsions can occur. Take it easy, and hope you feel better soon!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Thanks all, feeling mostly better...a little UTI achy still.

Now that I'm not so sick, I should say that I did have a good birthday, mostly. We went to Carrabbas and it was SO good! I get so excited when I go out to eat and DON'T get glutened! Only happened a couple of times though :)

Question, should I eat some yogurt? My mom said that I could easily get a yeast infection b/c of the antibiotics. The directions that came w/ the drugs even said they cause them. I still think I'm sensitive to dairy, but I'd deal w/ that if it prevented a yeast infection. How much should I eat? For several days, or would one dose do it? Thx!

Betsy, well, my husband had my MIL make a gluten-free cake, and it was decent. Tasted like angelfood cake w/ corn meal. She iced it and put strawberries on top. I thought about bringing it by your place cuz I couldn't eat it all...but I was too sick, so it just went in the trash after a couple of days.

We definitely should get together. What I would love to do is make some good cookies! I'm trying to eat healthier though....but those chocolate chip cookies you made were delish! What's your schedule this week?

And Jesscarmel, Nov 1st is my bday. Close enough :)

Noglugirl, yeah I'm hypoglycemic, really severely. That's why this last week threw me off so much. I felt so blood sugary sick, but I was eating!!!

Hm, I have another box of the orange pills that I haven't opened...think I might try and return them <_<

Anyway, thx everyone for caring!

Dear SweetFudge,

It sucks being hypoglycemic. I get really sick from it, too. As long as I eat frequently it helps. There is a diet called the Zone that naturally balances your blood sugar. It is equal amounts of lean protein, carbs, and fat. I am currently badly addicted to sugar, and trying to get off of it. I need to eat more healthy carbohydrates for my blood sugar's sake. I also may have an overgrowth of yeast in my system, which causes the cravings and low blood sugar. You are right, I agree that you should do something to counteract the antibiotic causing a yeast infection. I take L. Acidophillus, a probiotic. I am currently taking Flagyl for a bacterial infection, and have been feeling pretty rough. For two days, I forgot about my acidophillus, and got very sick due to the lack of good bacteria. :( I cannot have yogurt anymore either. My doc told me not to have any dairy, particularly casein. You can get these friendly bugs at healthfood stores or even at Wal - Mart. Cool fact: the bacteria in your intestines divide every half hour. Acidophillus can also prevent food poisoning, or at least lessen its impact. That is another reason I take it. To avoid getting bugs, since every time I have gotten the stomach flu it seems to take me a month to get over it. I have done a lot of research on Yeast Candida, and wrote an essay on it. If you like, I can send you a copy. Just tell me your e-mail!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Oh, you know. Stay home, take care of kids. Do it again the next day. :lol: I just finished "final editing" a gluten free cookbook my friend and I are writing, so I've got more time now than I did a week ago! We just did a gluten-free cookies class at the orem macey's . . . sugar cookies, gingerbread, and peppernuts. In fact, I still have peppernut dough in my fridge . . .I may need to go make some!

Give me a call or send me a PM and we'll make some christmas cookies or something!

I also found a yummy looking recipe for peppermint cookies. What I really wanna do is make some white chocolate chip ones...i got the chips, but mine always turn out flat and crunchy for some reason...maybe we could work on that :)

Dear Sweetfudge,

I use sweet rice flour. Cookies are my specialty. Cookies are my passion! I am looking for some g.f. casein free chocolate chips. Any recommendations? Chocolate chip is my favorite. I have a lot of my own recipes, and so far they turned out well. I got a Swiss Colony catalog the other day, and those foods are so beautiful, I could stare at them all day! I would love to create petit-fours, multilayer tortes, and candies such as ladybug truffles, snowman cremes, and penguin chocolate cremes for people like us! What do you think? NoGlu Foods? Biscotti, brownies that are super fancy drizzles with caramel and chocolate...I better stop before I have an orgasm or something. :lol: LOL!

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
