Last Sunday I was glutened at Outback. I went through some of my normal symptoms but very mild. Then tonight depression started. It seems so wrong to be doing so good and the wham. I can't even say that this was from last week. We had a picnic today at church and I brought my own foods. Then we had a couple visit that lived here 5 years ago and explaind whats been going on the last few months. I think it is just the emotions of the day. But it feels like my glutened depression. I just get tired of being different.

Blessings, I just now prayed for you, sister. I had a tough day at church as well. I've missed a few meetings in recent weeks with back pain and issues with the Celiac. Today I was in a lot of pain, but was able to manage this morning with alternating ibuprophen and tylenol arthritis. I was so emotional though, all morning! I realized how I am isolating myself at home, away from all the bad food. I send my hubby and son out to eat, but I am scared to go myself. I have hurt all week so badly, and when people want to know how I am, I feel like starting with, "how long ya got?" Then I feel like I'm telling them more than they really want to hear. I was discussing a possible place for a future ladies luncheon and it dawned on me that I'd get to sit there, at my favorite place, and watch everyone else enjoy it. It's just really hard, isn't it?

I know what you mean. The same thing happened to me last week after going out to eat my birthday dinner at a supposedly safe restaurant. I didn't get D like in the past so that was the good news. However I got achy and had clogged up sinuses and was very depressed. It finally passed a day and a half later.

I think the thing is is that one needs to really be forward with the restaurant and talk to the manager etc. and go look at where they are preparing the food to really be certain no CC happens. Its a real hassle and sometimes a little embarrassing but it apparently really is needed. Otherwise slip ups happen.

Also its a good idea to take along some heavy duty pro biotics and bromelain/papain caps etc. to counteract possible CC when eating out. It helps. Also slippery elm caps and marshmallow caps help heal inflammation and soothe the intestines.

Hope you are starting to feel better again! Just take it slow and easy since your immune system may have been compromised.

I certainly understand how you are feeling. I am praying for you to feel better. The Outback has been a disappointment to me, as I have been glutened twice and both meals were from the gluten-free menu. I explained very clearly to the waiter and it appeared that my instructions and the need to have the food exactly as it was ordered were understood. I think the ball was dropped by the waiter and did not get as far as the cook. Unfortunately, my business with them has ended, as I cannot risk another bout of vomiting for hours. I just have decided that I'm a better cook and eat at home! The depression will end and it does get better. Good luck to you.

I understand. This whole thing has me very depressed as well. I'm hoping as I get the hang of it, it will be easier and I wont be so sad...or mad depending on the day..

I had an issue with Outback too. That has been the only place that I would go because the had a gluten-free menu. Well I ordered off the gluten-free menu and even talked to the waitress who seemed very good with everything. I got my meal and was eating and I had just said to my SIL who was with me that it was nice to feel safe at a resturant and I looked down at my plate and there was a french fry half way under my chicken. Outbacks fries are not gluten free. So ok, maybe it was just a fluke thing, but if they are supposed to be as careful as they say they are, then one of their gluten filled french fries should not have been on my plate. I was devastaed. Not so safe any more. They did take my plate and bring me a new one, and took it off our bill, but that wasn't really the point. I convinced myself that I would be fine. I didn't touch the fry or anything, so I wasnt' going to get sick. Well, so much for positve thinking. The whole next day was horrible. My stomach was just a mess and I felt like I hadn't slept in a week. I'm just not going to take the chance eating out anymore, its just not worth it. And yeah, that is depressing too.

This disease is a very emotional thing too, not just physical. I so understand the depression and saddness. You are not alone...

Hey guys

Thanks for the prayers and support. I am feeling so much better today. Just resting. I'm tired of doing nothing.

Yesterday I did some running around and bought some dried Plautos. They were so yummy but I spent the afternoon visiting the restroom. Felt like I had a Phosopho Soda. At first I thought it was a reation to a Humira shot but it had to be the dried fruit. I didn't have anything else new.

Always something. I see my counselor tomorrow. We are supposed to talk about an anti depressant. We'll see.

God Bless,

Vicky

Dried fruit is always iffy for me too. Besides just the candida/fungal issues I discovered a lot of it is dusted with gluten to keep it from sticking together...

I question anti depressants when just avoiding these hidden pitfalls works much better--especially since it takes a while to find an anti depressant that actually works for you plus getting used to it.

I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. I am with you on the down side of things, but my problem is that people have been bringing in lots and lots of sweets to work and I want them so bad! I am such a sweet freak, and not being able to enjoy things every day for 2 weeks has gotten me down. But, I know that this too will pass......

Make a gluten-free cheesecake and bring it in. I use Midel Pecan cookies and use the whole bag. I bake the crust while I mix the filling. I use Pamels Baking mix instead of flour and I use the regular Better Homes and Garden recipie. It will satisfy all your sweet needs. I have also used Pamelas simple bite chocolate cookies. I had to special order them. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

God Bless,

Vicky

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
