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: )

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      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/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      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.
