Getting Aggrivated

It seems like i have either been glutened yet again, or have a new intolerance. I was up all night in the bathroom or laying with my heating pad. I finally went to sleep at 2 and got up at 4 with hubby. I felt a little better this morning. Then i was driivng my boys to school and i got so sick, terrible brain fog and really needing to use the bathroom. I had to just drop them off and tell them to tell their teachers ill be back to sign them in, and i drove as fast as i could home. I am feeling so terrible right now.

Im wondering if i am more intolerant now cause of the stress of my grandma or if its just a regular glutening. Ijust want to go back to bed, but i cant since hubby is at work til 2 and i have the 2 girls home.

I am just so tired of feeling terrible. I dont even want to eat anymore.

Why don't you start a food diary? Maybe that could help you pin down what is irritating you.

I think I will thank you very much for that idea.

Im trying to think what all i ate yesterday. im going to post here and maybe i can figure it out lol

are cranraisins for breakfast lol

leftover fajitas for lunch

like 6 enjoy life cookies(im addicted) lol

then for dinner i had tacos and spanish rice.

so i figure its probably

cc from the fajitas when the food was put up

too many enjoy life cookies

or the corn taco shells from the tacos

has anyone else ever got sick from the enjoy life snacks

Aren't the Enjoy Life cookies made with dates? If so, that could easily be your problem. Dates can cause stomach cramping and diarrhea. It's happened to me from lara bars and they are definitely gluten free. I don't know about the rest of you, but I get brain fog occasionally when I have D (un-Celiac related).

Hi Paula,

I have never gotten sick from Enjoy Life and I tend to be pretty sensitive (I also am addicted to them!) but I know when I'm having tummy problems for whatever reason; too much dairy, stress, period, etc. corn always gives me a hard time. What was in the fajitas that you made? and what kind of corn tacos did you use?

I hope you feel better, there's nothing more frustrating than being sick and not knowing how you got that way. ;(

They were the double chocolate brownie, and yes they have dates in them. Maybe the mixture of the dates and the cranirasins.

I get brain fog alot, i think it is from having 5 kids lol

The fajitas just has bell peppers, onions, jalepenos. but they didnt get me sick the night before.

My hubby made the spanish rice with rotel(which i think is safe).

He also had made spaghetti first with debellos ( i think that is how it is spelt), but i took 2 bites and we threw it out. it was nasty.

The tacos were the ones in the blue box, omg i just spaced out what brand that is. I threw the boxes out last night. I thought all taco shells are safe.

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
