I know a lot of people have posted about dreams where they are eating gluten.

For th past couple weeks it seems I started having theses dreams where i am eating pizza, toast, or whatever and doing it purposley knowing it is bad for me and then worrying that I will get sick. I know part of the reason may be because i am seeing a g.i doc next week and I am afraid he is going to want me to go back on gluten for the test, but I DONT WANT TO! And they cant make me!!. I've gone so long without being sick, I swear this is a record for me in 7 years: over a 1/2 a year without a cold or sinus infection!!!!

For anyone else who has had dreams like this, when did you start having them? I never had them when first going gluten-free, but now, a few months in, it seems to be every other night almost!

I have not had many gluten dreams in the 2 years since being gluten-free. However, I did go off sugar a week and a half ago (trying to boost my weight loss for a wedding). I have had dreams almost every night since about me binging on chocolate. I think maybe it's a psychological thing...at least for me. Maybe even a way of mourning.

Sorry you're going through that. Hope they hit the road soon! Good luck with the GI.

I started having them when I went through a big change - moved cities, started an internship, moved in with a roommate. I think I just wasn't sure of myself anymore and had dreams that I was messing up. Stress sounds like a likely culprit.

I can't blame you for going back on gluten. Plus, no one ever mentions this, but why have the test on your medical record? It only makes insurance more expensive. If you feel better, problem solved...

Good luck at the doc!

I don't remember a lot of my dreams generally. But I did have one gluten dream after about 4 months. It was pretty fun, involved Boris Badenoff and Natasha his cartoon accomplice. There is a thread around here about gluten dreams somewhere, pretty long one too. I think they made some of the dreams from that thread into "Tales from the Darkside" episodes on TV. Something to look forward too! :o:D

Try not to read too much into everything. You're probably craving Grape nuts because they're yummy. Don't bother trying that Nutty Flax cereal as a replacement though, IMO, they were disgusting.

I had a gluten dream last week and I usually don't have them anymore. When I've had them in the past, it's been I'm eating something and hten I realize it may be glutened and I freak out and wake up. This one I just flat out picked up a croissant and ate it, then figured I was screwed anyway and ate another one, then in the next 'scene' I was hanging out the car door on my belly on the seat and puking on the ground. Not pleasant. I woke up feeling very ill. I think that one was because my boyfriend was talking about how we want to try making croissants the day before though.

Interesting about the dreams ... I've had a few dreams about gluttenous foods and woke up thinking how strange :huh:

It's kind of nice to know this is a common thing :P

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
