I Am So Irritable

I just need to whine desperately.

I got off the "g" the first of the month so I am still up to my eyeballs in withdrawls & stuff

I get so grouchy when I eat something. Anything. And I am exhausted. Before I went off gluten my nervous system was jacked up from reacting to everything I ate, now my nervous system is at peace and I am so tired I feel like I could go to sleep and not wake up for like 5 years.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I am still eating vitamins and probiotics I went off coffee today and switched to green tea.

Do I have to just ride it out? I can't think of anything to do to make it better HAHAHA

I am sorry you aren't feeling well.

It can take a while for your body to adjust. Staying really well hydrated is very important, so is getting enough rest.

You may want to consider illuminating other foods from your diet while your body heals (dairy, corn, soy tend to be big problems for a lot of people during the transition).

Coffee is a big irritant, so that was a good move (although you can get grouchy with caffeine withdrawal as well)

Your body is doing a lot of hard work right now. You are probably tired and have every right to not feel well and be a little less than chipper.

Get as much rest as you can, keep eating good whole foods that can nourish your body. Its a phase and it won't be forever.

Hopefully someone else will chime in with some suggestions for getting over the hump.

Thank you mel for your support! I am feeling a little better today... I got glutened by a vitamin last week and I think it took my body a while to snap back as well. B)

I feel a bit Aristotelian (NOT my favorite philosopher, btw) in my response here, but your body is telling you that it isn't happy with what your head decided. Do not fear, your body will eventually catch up to what your head decided. In the meantime, as the middle child between two brothers, I can tell you that TORTURE of anyone who crosses paths with you is an excellent response, mind games are special fun. Please do not mention my name.

Hope you feel better soon!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Or you could just get some comedy DVD's to cheer you up, I recommend Robin Williams Live on Broadway.

Try to eat lots of avocado, it's good brain food. Oh, and at the health food store is a package of coconut macaroons by Jennie's, they're in a yellow canister. They're just coconut, eggs, and honey. They make good brain food too. And yummy.

THERE IS YOUR ANSWER. Just keep laughing. Anything you can do that keeps you laughing will keep up the mood. Laughter is the best medicine. Keep riding it out!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
