Recurring Nightmare/dream


Daisy Duke

Recommended Posts

Daisy Duke Explorer

I've had this same dream several times but last night it was like a drama, the dream went on all night. I have been taken hostage and I cannot eat the food that they are giving me to eat. This was one of those drama movies that just goes on and on and on and it seemed so real. tHE GUY EVEN HAD A GUN.

My goodness that is scary.

Hope you don't mind ... I'm new here, but ... I know this is going to sound rediculous, but that happened to me about 1

Those are scary dreams! I find that Tylonal sometimes makes me dream more. I've had one where I get into a car accident and end up in the hospital and they keep telling me that I have to eat before they will release me, and every thing they bring is gluten laden :o

The real scary part of this one, is that it can happen ... hospitals are really bad for people on diets.

When my Dad had 6 arteries repaired by bypass surgery, his first meal afterward was a great big greasy hamburger :o My daughter was there visiting him, she couldn't believe it!

The other night I had a dream I was diagnosed with liver cancer, and everything was so real. The biopsies, bloodwork, and all the clinic visits. I remember every part of the dream, I remember breaking the news to my fiance and my family. I remember starting the chemo....it was too real.

I work in the Oncology department at a hospital, so I link it to work but it was so lifelike I woke up and really just laid awake until the alarm went off.

D, This celiac disease is definately NOT a good thing for hostages, especially if your blindfolded! And how would you ever figure out what's in the "gruel" they always get in those old prison movies? Oh guard, I'd like some gluten free gruel please.

I had a recurring dream where I was being chased by people in a car trying to kill me. Then all of a sudden (dreams make no sense whatsoever), I was walking down a lonely, country road, when a jetliner goes down in flames. By the time I run over there, venders have set up booths and are selling coffeee & donuts to the survivors, who are limping around on crutches, all bandaged up. Of course I am outraged at the venders. So we've got scared, and anger. Dreams are often all about emotions, it seems.

best regards, lm

ps to shirley, in '99 I had an appointment for a stress test (turned out I was fine, Dr. said to lose about 10 lbs as I was overweight at 181 lbs, am now 137), and on the way stopped for lunch at Waffle House for a good & greasy double cheesburger, in case the doctor told me not to eat any anymore.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
