Hey everyone, hope all is well for yall!!

Ok have been under major stress (my daugher has been running from the law. she left her 3 kids and just took off told me she was going underground and going to change her name, she is a alcoholic and in a bad way now, she text messaged me yesterday and said she got raped in a park the night before last. It is so hard to think of your own kids living like that. Yesterday, I was reading the board and someone mentioned eating Progresso clam chowder and that it was gluten free. I had some so I called the manufacture myself to make sure. Thay told me it was gluten free so I tried it.

I only have a few staples that I eat mostly all the time so I dont think it was anything else I ate..Started feeling bad pretty much as soon as I ate it. Last night I broke out with DH.Its so painful I can hardly sit. Feel to bad to do anything, so now laying on my belly :(

I get real upset at my tummy, and cant eat anything!!! Drinking as much water as I can but even that makes me feel bad.

Sorry for the post kind of confusing even for me to read but feel to bad to redo it. Does anyone have any ideas to help me. Only been gluten-free for 21/2 months so I know I still make mistakes. my mind just wont work anymore..

I'm sooo sorry you are going through all of that! Alcoholism is very hard to deal with and effects everyone around teh person with the disease. I've been there...my son's father!

Stress definetly could be amplifying your symptoms!!!! Are you sure everything else is gluten-free????

Again, I'm sorry and we are all here for you if you need to vent/talk/cry!

So sorry for your woes- that is TOO hard! The stress could do it alone and then, if you're not used to the Progresso clam chowder", you could just be reacting because it's new. I find when I'm introducing new foods after so long on a strict diet that it takes awhile for me to get used to them. Assuming you've checked cosmetics, shampoos, hand creams and all that...

Peace to you and feel better soon!

thank you so much everyone!!

Yes, it is so hard, she is only 25 years old. And in such a bad place. I am pretty sure that I am totally gluten-free, shampoo's , cream rinse, make up (not that i wear much) pots, pans spoons, can opener, cutting board, soaps, i just dont know what else to do. Guess it is just stress, I am not sleeping well, when she does text me its in the middle of the night, so i sleep with one ear on the phone. I am so afraid for her life. Not to mention the grandkids, they are so upset, the 6 year old boy started pooping his pants. he had not done that since 2. They live 2 hours away,its not that its that far I just feel so bad i have a hard time making it up there. :(

That is something I never thought of. I dont think I want to try it again. I break out with DH on my right buttock. Not something you want to live with. yes i have checked everything that I come into contact with. As far as I know of. Pretty new to this though, only 2 1/2 months.

Thanks for letting me rant!! BARB :huh:

Stress could be causing alot of problems... also are you sure shellfish is an okay thing for you to eat? Tons of people cannot do any type of shellfish...... plus creamed soups can cause reactions for some.

My brother is a recovered elky for 26 years now.... can you get her into a rehab center? even if you have to have her picked up by the police for loitering in a public place, someday she will thank you for it. Use tough love or she may ended up deceased... We did this after years of drug & booze abuse.. my mom would give him money for food cause his cabinets were bare because he used his $$$$ for booze & drugs, finally I had a police officer arrest him for some dumb little thing & committed him for three days ( law in our state) & then sent him off to rehab . He had no ins. so I went thru AA & they helped pay ...

good luck & I'll say a prayer for you..

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
