I Got Glutened....

So I was at a friends house tonight and since she was so afraid of cooking for me, we decided to order in instead. We ordered Chinese for her and Sushi for me which I figured would be a save choice. Nope... because I am sitting here now, horrible stomache cramps, bloated and I feel like I am going to explode any second. And the worst part is, I am supposed to meet some friends in a bit for a drink since today is my only day off this week :( I don't even want to leave the house now. Aaahhh... and I even skipped the soy sauce with the sushi and used my own stuff which said "Gluten Free"

It has only been three weeks now since I found out about celiac disease but I already feel like it's ruining my life :(

Hang in there. I glutened myself in an even sillier way during my first two weeks. I went to PF Changs, ordered off the gluten free menu, asked the waitress intelligent questions, etc. etc. etc.

Then when the meal was over, I went on autopilot and ate the stupid fortune cookie that came with the bill.

Things are definitely not perfect for me yet, but I do feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. I continue to find "hidden gluten" even though I could already tell most dieticians their business.

Feeling sick sucks, especially on your only night off. Try to stay hydrated and do something relaxing. And come here to vent as much as you want. :-)

What a night :( I really have no clue how much sleep I got but I am so exhausted this morning. Thank god I don't have to go to the restaurant till 2pm but I actually wanted to go to the gym and work out. And I also have real bad joint pains today. My wrists hurt really bad and so does my right ankle.

I will never eat Sushi again! Never! (and i work at a Seafood - Steak - Sushi Restaurant :rolleyes: )

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
