Last night we had a tball game at 6 and i hadnt even thought about dinner. So after the game hubby is like lets have hamburger and fries, so I was like Ok, but make sure you get ore ida fries. He is like dont worry i know what to get. Well he grabbed the zesty fries. So i started to eat and ate like 7 fries and asked him well what kind did you get and he is like zesty but they look fine. Well about an hour later I was like my stomach hurts, so of course i go to the ore ida list and sure enough the fries are not on the gluten free list. I slept with the heating pad on all last night in 90 degree weather, not fun. I woke up so tired and kinda out of it. I have to go help out for 3 hours this morning for an rockies baseball challenge, I so dont know what I am going to do. My stomach is cramping so bad while i sit here and type this out. I was feeling so good and now i have to suffer for days cause of carelessness. Last ngiht i kept telling hubby to feel my stomach cause it was so hard, he felt so bad. He said from now on we make our own fries, but that doesnt make me feel better now lol

I'm so sorry Paula. Of course, he meant well. My husband made a few silly mistakes like that too in the beginning. He even switched up my children's plates one time. I cried when I saw my son eating the sandwhich and said "what did you do!!!!" And he felt like dirt. And there was little we could do except wait through it.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks gina,. well i made it threw the 2 hours at the rockies challenge, but now i am home and in complete pain. I even caught myself being cranky at the baseball thing. I feel so bad when i get like this and the kids just look at me like im some freak. I think i can handle the digestive problems alot better then i can the neurological affects.

I hear ya'. I feel awful afterwards (from the snapping at my own kids). But it just feels so out of control at the time.

I don't know how to soothe the stomachache. I just double up and wait it out. I hear some folks like pudding and other soothing treats.

Sorry about the glutening, Paula. Be sure to read EVERY label, EVERY time! Sometimes a product will be gluten-free, then they'll change the recipe. :) In this case, it wasn't gluten-free to begin with ... I'm sure hubby will be reading from now on, too.

I mostly do carla, but last night he came in and cooked dinner while i had an drink and smoked an cigarette and played with the kids, i didnt even think to look at what he bought, i trusted him lol. And i was so tired. But that will be the last time i trust him lol. But he feels really bad and he sees how it has affected me today and i know he dont want me going back to his sick wife that hardly ever left her house lol.

and people think we're crazy when we want to read every label, every time. :P

I'm sorry you got so sick. but until you are *CONFIDENT* that he's trained (and being sorry is NOT the same as being trained), you're going to have to read up on the labels after him, BEFORE eating the food.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced. Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well. Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside...

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      Thank you so much for your help, @trents and @Staticgypsy! I so appreciate your thoughts. My diet is high in foods with oxalates and I don’t notice any issues there. If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was man...

      Welcome, @JudyLou, Your rash sounds very similar to the one I experienced.  Mine was due to a deficiency in Niacin B3, although I had deficiencies in other nutrients as well.  Celiac disease causes malabsorption of all the essential nutrients, but eating a poor diet, taking certain medications, or drinking alcohol can result in deficiency diseases outside of Celiac, too.  Symptoms can wax and wane depending on dietary intake.  I knew an alcoholic who had the "boots" of Pellagra, which would get worse when he was drinking more heavily, and improve when he was drinking less.   Niacin deficiency is called Pellagra.  Symptoms consist of dermatitis, diarrhea, dementia, and death (the four D's).  A scaly rash on the feet and hands and arms are called the "boots" and "gloves" of Pellagra.  Darkened skin around the neck exposed to the sun is Casal's necklace.  Poor farmers with niacin deficient diets were called "red necks" because of this.    Does your rash get worse if you're in the sun?  Mine did.  Any skin exposed to the sun got blistered and scaly.  Arms, legs, neck, head.  Do you have dry, ashy skin on your feet?  The itchiness was not only from the rash, but neuropathy.   My doctors were clueless.  They didn't put all my symptoms together into the three D's.  But I did.  I'd learned about Pellagra at university.  But there weren't supposed to be deficiency diseases anymore in the developed world.  Doubtful it could be that simple, I started supplementing with Niacin and other essential nutrients.  I got better.   One of Niacinamide functions is to help stop mast cells from releasing histamine.  Your allergist gave you doxepin, an antihistamine which stops mast cells from releasing histamine.   Since you do have a Celiac gene, staying on the gluten free diet can prevent Celiac disease from being triggered again.   Interesting Reading: These case studies have pictures... Pellgra revisited.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4228662/ Steroid-Resistant Rash With Neuropsychiatric Deterioration and Weight Loss: A Modern-Day Case of Pellagra https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12532421/#:~:text=Figure 2.,(right panel) upper limbs.&text=The distribution of the rash,patient's substantial response to treatment.   Cutaneous signs of nutritional disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8721081/#:~:text=Additional causes of yellow skin,the clinical features of Kwashiorkor.   Hello, @Staticgypsy, I would not recommend cutting so many nutritious foods out of ones diet.  Oxalates can cause problems like kidney stones, but our bodies can process oxalates out of our systems with certain vitamins like Vitamins A and D and Pyridoxine B 6.   People with Celiac disease are often low in fat soluble vitamins A and D, as well as the water soluble B vitamins like Pyridoxine B 6.  Focus on serving your granddaughter nutrient dense meals to ensure she gets essential vitamins and minerals that will help her grow. Micronutrient inadequacy and urinary stone disease: an analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2018 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36976348/ Multivitamins co-intake can reduce the prevalence of kidney stones: a large-scale cross-sectional study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38564076/

      I saw the thing for testing for gluten when at public places.I absolutely love but I wonder if they would come up with a bracelet or necklace that can detect gluten in the air.I would LOVE that, i know i get debilitating migraine from smelling gluten wheat what have you, all I know is when I go into places like Chevron- gluten Subway, migraine, Costco that food smell of nasty gluten- migraine and same with Walmart subway.I absolutely HATE im that sensitive, my body reacts.Sadly medical hasn't taken core issue of celiac being an issue considering glutenfree ever since 1994 and in their eyes not because they didn't diagnose me. I am and wish I wasn't. If there was a detector of gluten in the air it would make a world of difference.

If eliminating gluten from my diet had changed anything I’d be happy to just keep on the gluten-free diet, but with eating gluten several times with no rash, and having a rash when I was many years into gluten-free eating (and was much more careful at that point), I’m just baffled. Many, many thanks to you both.
