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

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Celiac getting dentures

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
