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

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

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