Accidental Glutening?

I seem to accidentaly gluten myself every other week...As you can imagine I'm pretty much out of commission for 2 or so days...I cannot possibly function at work with having to run to the bathroom every 20 minutes and well, you know the rest...I've had the same job for a while, pre diagnosis and they knew I had issues but I just don't think the understand the severity of it...I feel like some kind of freak and I'm always missing days of work I'm running out of sick days. I just don't think thy understand how BAD it feels when I'm glutened (is "glutened" a word?). I guess I'm just not careful enough and half the time I don't even know what it was I ate that got me....

Does anyone else have this issue?

I have had accidental glutenings. I imagine most of us have. If it happens repeatedly you probably ought to think of ways to prevent it from happening. Do you take your lunch to work with you? That is a simple way to make sure you are not getting glutened there. It's up to you to be careful about the diet. Nobody can do it for you.

You have got to figure out what's glutening you every couple of weeks. That's way too often to be sick! Have you started a food journal? Checked personal care and pet products for everyone in the house? Do you share a kitchen? Could it be something other than gluten? Soy or dairy can cause similar symptoms and I get the same symptoms from peanuts.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
