Didn't Get To Sleep Until 3 Am, Trying To Figure Out Why!

Ok, I had a busy day yesterday but busy is normal for me. Here is my day:

Breakfast:

flaked quinoa sweetened with honey and raisins and salt

orange juice

Lunch:

Burger King (thinking this is the culprit)

double Whopper made without the bun

fries

2 med. diet coke's

After workout snack:

2 boiled egg whites

Special treat:

1 piece of ghiradelli chocolate with carmelized almond pieces

Dinner:

chicken thigh (w/onions, garlic & salt)

rice (w/ salt & butter)

broccoli

And that is it! I knew I was in trouble when everybody was going to bed and I started feeling panic attacks. I stayed up until 11 then tried to go to sleep. Nope, not until about 3 am. DH's alarm goes of at 4 so I woke up then. At 6:40am my 3 year old got me up and so goes my day today. *yawn* :(

Burger Kings fries and the cc from the whopper would no doubt make ME sick and I am not sure about the chocolate.

I agree with Momma Goose... Burger King is probably not the safest place to eat. They don't even have a list of gluten free selections (just wheat free).

Please forgive me for my ignorance but what is "cc"?

I'm rather sad because I love BK fries! :(

:) CC is short for Cross Contamination, which is very high at fast food joints. If you hunger for french fries. McD's is considered gluten free by the Celiac Sprue Association. (although, some here has reacted to the fries, perhaps too much grease?) And McD's (for the most part) have dedicated fryers, which means that nothing but french fries are put into the grease.

There is A LOT to learn about having Celiac! ;)

There have been quite a few reporting in various threads that once they're fully on a gluten free diet, they're more sensitive to some things, not less.

One of my theories about that is that a person on a gluten free diet's whole system isn't clogged up with additives that are in so many foods that celiacs have to avoid, and so a person can ~feel~ the effects of something that sets the body off more easily. Anyone coming off a fast will notice the effects of something that breaks the fast...

From your list of things that you ate, in addition to the BK items mentioned, you had a couple diet cokes...they have caffeine in them. And there's that chocolate. I've seen little kids so hopped up on taking in sweet and chocolate later in the evening than are usual for their little bodies that they just can't sit still....parents of small children might weigh in on that.

A lot of people can't take any caffeine at ALL after a certain time of day, if they expect restful sleep that night. My limit is about noon.

I think the BK fries have a coating on them, which is suspect. But even if not, they fry them with the onion rings, and then dump them in a bin with the onion rings. I don't see how they would NOT be cc'd. :(

Oh this just stinks :( I love BK fries MUCH more than McD's!

Thank you for letting me know what CC is :) Yes! So much to learn and I am becoming sad each time I find something else I cannot eat. BK didn't bug me before when I was gluten lite but it may have yesterday.

Now I did have 1 1/2 cokes at BK but it was for lunch and I normally do that once a week and don't have issues and I am a choco-holic LOL So I am not really suspecting that. Although things seem to be changing for me so they are possible!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
