Got Glutened Again


Guest nini

Sat. morning my daughter and I went over to my mom's to visit with a cousin that was in town for a few days and my mom offered to make breakfast for me. (they were already eating gluten filled pancakes and that should've been a clue to stop right there) but I let her make gluten free pancakes anyway, she used the Pamela's mix, McCormicks vanilla, a clean pan and a clean spatula, but even still within 20 minutes I was in the bathroom with awful D... the only thing I can think is because I'm so micro sensitive, that there was still gluten dust in the air and on things from her making the regular pancakes. My daughter had already eaten at home so she was fine, but me... I've been really bloated and crampy ever since and have been eating like a pig, craving all kinds of bad junk (candy mostly) and today I broke down in tears because I drove into work and my client didn't show up :angry: , I should've just let it roll off me, maybe been a little mad, but no, I had to start crying about how stressed I am about money and how every single client that no shows on me costs me money and I'm already stressed about that. UGH.

I'm cranky and irritable and I hate it that I'm that freakin sensitive that gluten dust in the air would affect me this way.

On top of everything I want to just give up my job and give up my house and sell it all and move away. Wah Wah Wah...

(and I'm supposed to be the strong one, the gluten-free lifestyle coach and all that crap.)

sorry for the vent I'm just really feeling cranky and moody right now and I can really only tell you guys.

I am sorry that you are not feeling well. And please do not worry about venting, this is a safe place and we are here to lift each other up. I hope you are feeling better soon both physically and mentally.

Aw Nini--that sucks :angry: Gosh--I get that way too! Go ahead and rant away--we understand. And, it sucks :angry::angry:

Sorry to hear that you are sick. It makes it so much harder to deal with everyday problems when you just don't feel well. At least your daughter didn't get sick. I can't imagine dealing with a glutened child when you were glutened yourself.

Hope you feel better soon.

Having a no show and being stressed about finances can take down the healthiest of people.....let alone someone who is suffering from a glutening.

Hope you get over this quickly. Hugs. :)

thank you my friends for being there...

I'm waiting for the rice to finish cooking so I can feed my child... otherwise I just wanna curl up in a ball and cry. Hubby won't be home until 9 or so and my daughter is picking up on my mood and is taking advantage of the situation... I'm trying so hard to be nice...

Nantzie Collaborator

Oh Nini... I'm so sorry you're having such an awful day.

Hugs.. :(

Why is it whenever we desparately need our hubbies home, they have to work late. Just like a child to make things more difficult. Somehow I think one or more of mine would do the same.....depends on what kind of mood they were in.

Guest nini

it seems like every little thing I ask her to do sets her off into a fit of "not fair" "it takes too long" "why me?" and on and on and the tears...

TinkerbellSwt Collaborator

aww nini.. I hope you feel better soon. I know I get the same way when glutened and for some reason.. Colin just doesnt understand! (he is only 18 months old)

I am sorry everything feels like it is coming down on you. (((((((HUGS))))))))

happygirl Collaborator

Nini,

Hugs to you. You are such a great support to all of us, I hope that you know we are all thinking of you. It stinks to go through this, esp when you know all the "answers" (i.e., this will pass, it will get better, it happens to all of us)

I hope you have a restful night's sleep and you wake up with a clear head and heart.

Love,

Laura

thanks... is it wrong of me to eat a fudgesicle? (it's gluten-free)

Dang I feel so bloated and HUNGRY... I feel like I've done nothing but EAT today...

thanks for the support and hugs and for letting me vent. My mom felt bad that I got sick despite how careful she was. We were both surprised... but it was an obvious glutening as it happened within 20 minutes of eating and hasn't gone away...

Wow, I'm sorry that you're not feeling well. I hope it clears up soon.

It happens to the best of us and all you can do is ride it out.

Heck, no! Anything that makes you feel better and is comfort food (even though you'll be unhappy in the long run for gaining weight :ph34r::rolleyes::blink: ).

I hope you feel better soon. And tell your daughter to be nice, because you have been glutened and are in a terrible mood. I bet she'll understand that.

(((((((((HUGS))))))))) I hope things are better today.

I'll sit in the corner and stick my tongue out at the world with you......until you feel better and feel like being the proactive, gluten-free life coach again, which you do so very well.

Guest nini

thanks guys, I am feeling just a bit better today, not 100% but enough that I don't completely hate the world today. Last night I told my hubby I want to run away. He said that's not possible, he doesn't know how he'd live without me (say a collective AWWWWWWWW)...

I actually have a client waiting to be coached and I haven't called him back yet, bad me. Hopefully I can do that today.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!
