I don't know why I can barely keep my head straight! I tend to react neurologically and gi upset so I am just trying to figure out what I ate I didn't change anything I don't normally eat.

I had these chips (Lundberg rice & bean with sea salt) and I made energ toast (bare) with a slice of tomato, a pork sausage (gluten soy nitrate msg free) and a poached egg on top with kosher salt & garlic powder.

And I am totally looped out. :ph34r: hehehe

is it a full moon?? :lol::rolleyes:

Maybe some trace glutening from the sausage? Or maybe a yeast/candida overgrowth? I personally can't have rice and beans together--too much starch. It feeds the yeast.

Though yeah we all just went through a pretty tough astrological transit I hear.

I do have candida I wonder if that wasn't the culprit. I went to bed and I am feeling better now,

thanks Sweetheart! B)

Not to mention I did not take my normal supplements & herbs last night maybe that was part of the problem ...

Hey deary,

Well, it stinks to hear that you can't keep your head on straight. Are ya stressed, tired, or any of that stuff? I blame all my dizzy issues on air polution from irrisponsible big industries and cow farts. ;) Did you know that Cow flatulance is having a negative effect on the ozone layer? (saw it on the Discovery Channel) So perhaps gluten isn't your problem at all. :P

Speaking of Lundberg rice & bean with sea salt....my hubby found the sea salt bags at our local grocery store. I'm in total heaven...

On another note, I'm going to the hospital sometime this week for a sleep study to see if I have narcolepsy. I'm not really concerned; if I have it, then I've had it for many years. So, basically I'm going to the hospital to sleep in a paper gown, in a freezing room, with wires coming off my head...while they watch me sleep, and then charge my insurance $6,000. :rolleyes:

Well take care hun, sorry to hear you feel crappy.

Glad to be of help! I struggle with the beasties too. They can sneak up on you and give you a high like being drunk. A good clue is a ravenous appetite for guess what--starch and/or lots of fruit or sugar! Its addictive since they actually release alcohol in your blood stream. My ex used to drink bear just to catch up with me on my natural candida (or whatever) high.

Sometimes its OK to eat more of the carbs and other times it just isn't. Especially several times in a row. It helps to offset it by eating more raw veggies if you can handle it , cooked ones otherwise.

Plus consider taking some anti yeast stuff. Besides the usual probiotics, I have found oregano caps to be of help and occasionally taking barberry or golden seal root powder (barberry is more effective and cheaper). These last not more than a week at a time though and be careful since it/they can cause stomach irritation if you take too much. Dandelion root or milk thistle helps along the way just to even things out. You can also rub liquid oregano or thyme oil on your wrists etc. to help kill the beasties off. And pao de arco caps are a good staple to take every day.

Thanks yolo you are always a life-saver!!! B)

I have been taking pau d-arco along with my other supplements for about 3 weeks now.. I am eating 3 a night as well as the milk thistle. I have oregano oil I tried to eat (came with a dropper) and it made me choke HAHAHA very powerful. But I will try and rub it on my wrists! cool!!! :)

MUAH!

thanks so much

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
