Hi everyone,

Sorry, this isn't going to be a very cheery post. I got glutened last wednesday, and it was awful. But it's monday noq and I thought it would be over by now!! I just feel like I can't deal with this anymore. I keep cutting things out, suspecting things, being afraid of everything that goes in my mouth..... And I'm usually not feeling like this but when I get gluteend I feel like I shouldn't have to go to work, shouldn't have to deal with people, and should just get to sleep until it's gone. And why isn't there anything out there that we can take to alleiviate the pain of this yet?? I'm ok with having celiac when I'm not glutened - I can give everything up and still be a pretty happy person - but isn't that enough? getting glutened is just not fair.

I'm sorry, just had to get that out.

Get mad!@ Punch your pillow out, it won't mind. Look at everyone with the gluteny-goodness with disdain! Ask questions, order pie the way you want it, shout it out to the world! Then forgive everyone, especially yourself. It will get better...

I completly understand how you feel. Most of us feel the same way from time to time. Life would be so much better if there was no gluten!

Dear sansglutengrl,

Yep, I have been there! It sucks. :( Even worse, no one around you gives a crap. :angry: They do not have a clue what it is like to deal with this. When I get glutened, I have to down a promethazine, and eventually it kicks in. Then, I am incredibly drowsy and have to sleep for a long time. I get so violently ill at the onset that the medication is the only thing that helps. Being Celiac is not easy to deal with at those times.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Hi again,

I just wanted to thank everyone for your kind words and support. I'm just starting to feel more normal, and phew!! I think I can wear my skinny pants now, that's a plus at least. :)

Thanks again!

p.s - noglugirl, what's a promethazine? would you recommend it?

Glad you're feeling a little better.

Yes, it does suck that not only do we have to make a MAJOR lifestyle change, but are still left to feel the awful effects of a glutening, no matter how careful we've been. I know when I've been glutened, I don't like to have to deal with anyone, and most of them don't feel like dealing with me either( I get a tad on the testy side).

Promethazine is an anti-nausea medication that's quite effective, I used to take it before I figured out my Celiac. I don't have symptoms as bad as NoGluGirl when I'm glutened so i haven't had to use it since I got 'better', but it works quite well for people with bad nausea after a glutening, if you can get it down. It will make you very sleepy though, you won't really be able to work. Imodium can help with nausea too, by reducing the intestinal cramping lower down.

      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...

      We feel your pain. 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.
