Got Glutened Again

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
