My System Is Going Crazy!

Sunday night my mother in law wanted to make my husband a gluten-free birthday dinner. She went as far as to ask me what to buy and also used new pots and pans. Something got me still (probably CC from her kitchen) and I had a migraine before we left her house. I thought the next few days would be miserable but Monday wasn't all that bad. Then on Tuesday for my husbands actual birthday we went to his fav. gluten-free restaurant and since then I've had major glutening symptoms but ones that are totally different from my normal glutenings which is big D all day long for a few days (also, this restaurant is "the" gluten-free restaurant in my city where the chef is a celiac so I don't know what happened!). My body is freaking out!!! I'm having really bad cramping that feels like I'm going to get the big D but when I go to the bathroom it's more like I've got the big C and it's really painful. I'm beyond exhausted and look like some one punched me in both eyes and my headache finally went away this morning because I forced myself to drink a half a cup of coffee. What should I do? I'm really worried about the baby. I have my next drs. appt. on Tuesday and I know there is nothing they can do for me eating something that didn't agree with me but how stressed out should I be about the baby? I swear after this I'm not eating out for the rest of my pregnancy. Should I go in to see the doc. early just to make sure everything is okay? Ugh. This is so stressful! :(

I'm sorry you feel so bad. I don't have any answers for you but I hope you feel better soon. Try not to stress about the baby...if you're really worried call your doctor's office. Even if they don't know celiac too well, they're used to dealing with dehydrated or sick or stressed moms-to-be.

Take care.

Take a deep breath. There's nothing you can do about the baby right now. You're doing your best to stay gluten-free - it's not like you got glutened on purpose. If you were glutened at your MIL's, your body needs time to heal and even safe food can irritate you.

      Oral thrush question

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Has your doctor tested your vitamin D?  Urine Iodine deficiency? Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a contributing factor for oral thrush, especial if you are vegan. Celiac Disease causes  malabsorbtion leading to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Zinc supplementation reduces Candida infections  I know that zinc is an antiviral and have been using zinc glycomate (Cold Eeze lozanges) since 2004 and have not gotten cold or flu since.  The lozenge coats the mucous membrane with zinc, protecting the cell wall from the virus.  This research paper and some others indicate that zinc also acts as an antifungal.  Worth a try, Try to reduce how much food with high omega 6 that you eat to lower your omeaga 6 to 3 ratio.  It helps with inflammation.  Try eating foods with lots of benificial bacteria.  The goal is to repopulate your gut with good guys. Assuming you do not have dermatitis herpetiformis or another reason to limit iodine, Liquid Iodine to raise your iodine to the 600 mcg a day (middle of the RDA range (150-1000mcg)  to boost your immune system.  Iodine has anti-fungal properties that can help kill Candida species.  Your whole body will heal quicker when you have sufficient iodine and vitamin D.

      DH persists despite meticulous efforts! Please share insights so I can stop being miserable!

      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:

      Oral thrush question

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JulieRe! You would do well to get checked for a candida infection of the gut. Yeast thrives on carbs so you might also look into a low carb diet. These kinds of things seem to be more common in the celiac community than in the general population. There is a growing body of evidence that the development of celiac disease is rooted in unhealthy gut biome conditions. It's good that you are getting that red spot on your tongue checked out soon. It's likely related to the thrush but I would also not rule out a neoplasm which you would certainly want to catch early.

      Hi there! I have very similar dermatitis herpetiformis responses. The only thing that helps is dissolving a Benadryl pill and rubbing that on the painful itchy spots that arise on my knees, scalp, elbows. I have been working with a nutritionist who also has celiac we narrowed down to me only getting we certified gluten-free products - which I try the best I can. But then I have found products that use guar gum and other additive gums I have reactions as well. It was my plant based milk. I had to switch to Elmhurst it’s just nuts and milk- most of the time.   I hope that’s helpful! I’ll keep following:) we seem to have very similar reactions!
