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.

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Are Bobresmill gluten free oats ok for sensitive celiacs?

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
