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.

I am so sorry that you got glutened, yep it is the worst & makes you feel emotionally drained.

I wish you could have slept all day...

Please try to do some nice things for yourself all week & take it easy...

Next week will be better!!!

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. 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.
