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.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!
