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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
