I Was Having A Great Week

Omg I woke up at 5 am in horrible pain. I am running to the bathroom every 5 minutes and im trying to figure out what i did wrong. I think i have narrowed it down to 2 things. Last night i made apple crisp, and used gluten free all purpose flour, but as I read the box a few minutes ago it has bean flour. So I am thinking that might have been the culprit. Or I had been staying away from soy, and last night my hubby made mashed pototoes and put soy milk in them. Or maybe its from kissing my husband this morning, after he ate and took an shower before work.

I have so much to today, and i dont think i can leave my house, ughhhhhh. Anything i can do to feel better in less then 3 hours for kids soccer pictures.

Nothing amazing ... I can suggest except take some immoium and get relief one way... and treat yourself to a hot bath with some nice gluten-free bubbles or something... if you lived closer I'd drop some of my chicken soup off which always works for me :D

Take it easy... its just bad timing and bad luck .... take a break from houseowrk if you feel that will help.... and perhaps try peppermint tea or similar if you have some around...

I tried the hot bath and it helped a little, ty. I wish you could bring me the chicken soup. I would be in heaven with homemade soup.

I keep telling myself, I will feel better in an hour. If it wasnt for the soccer pictures and my sons snack day for soccer, i would tell them it was cancelled. I guess I will have to just stand in front of the bathrooms and hope to see the kids play from there.

Why did i have to get sick on an busy day.

I'd take some immodium too.... at least this way its one less worry... you can do what you have to do... and try and mitigate at least one annoying symptom ....

You'll do it.... and then you can get home and flop .... and start worrying about what exactly caused it... and hopefully hubby can make dinner and not use anything "new" ....

Not all, but many brands of soy milk have thickeners/emulsifiers that have gluten.

I get so very nervous when adding something "new" being I am so new to this, I try with the best intentions of only adding "new" when I can afford to be down for a few hours (last time was 4 days, had to talk to the "boss" when I got back to work, but dont think I am fired, no paperwork has arrived just yet anyways, it also helps he actually has a relative with this color me shocked!)

Well I made it threw the games and pictures and felt pretty good after. I really think it was just the bean flour, cause i dont have any brain fog, I just had to spend most of the early morning in the bathroom. I guess i will have to throw out that flour.

Maybe i just need to go back to eating basic stuff for awhile or do the soy test threw enterolab and see if that is my problem. Or maybe i will just not eat anything at all lol

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here. I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice. I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated. I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.

      Thank you for your response. I have already learned about the info you sent but i appreciate your effort. I am the only one in my family cursed by this disease. I have to cook for them too. I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem...

I make sure that my utensils are free of gluten and clean after using them for other food. I use non-porous pots and pans and  gloves when cooking for them. One huge problem I have is a gag reflex out of this world and if something doesn't taste good it is not going down. Most commercially made breads and such taste like old cardboard.Pastas are about the same. I did find one flour that I like and use it regularly, but it is so expensive! All gluten free food is way more expensive. I only eat twice a day because I cannot afford to buy all that. We live on a very low income so my food purchases are quite limited.

      What you've described—the severe weight loss, the cycle of medications making things worse, and the profound fear of eating before leaving the house—is a heavy burden to carry for 15 years. It is absolutely not your fault. While everyone's journey with celiac is different, the struggles with the learning curve, social isolation, and dietary grief are feelings many in the community know all too well. Your question about whether you should just eat what you want and manage the symptoms is a heartbreaking one, born from years of frustration. It's crucial to know that the diarrhea is a sign of ongoing damage to your small intestine from gluten, and simply managing the symptom with Imodium doesn't stop that internal harm or the risk of other complications. The fact that you are still getting sick within an hour of eating, even while trying to be gluten-free, is a huge red flag that something isn't right. This could be due to cross-contamination in your kitchen (e.g., using a shared toaster, colander, or condiment jars), hidden gluten in foods, or the possibility of another concurrent condition like refractory celiac disease. Don't give up!  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
