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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
