Glutening Nightmares

I keep having nightmares where I accidentally ate something really gluteny.

One time it was a donut, and when it was half gone I was like "OMG! WHAT on earth was I thinking?"

And then I wake up in a panic.

Another time it was someone at a party who shoved something in my face and said 'Try THIS' so I took a bite. Then I realized I didn't know what was in what I just ate...and woke up in a panic.

Anyone else having crazy paranoid dreams? I guess I'm really stressed over getting accidental gluten lately, since my last glutening was SOOOOO bad.

I've got some travel coming up too, and am probably going to sleep at night thinking about how I'll find safe food while I'm away.

I think it's kind of funny...the dreams. I just have to laugh at myself a little :)

I have had a few, but not many.

This has been a topic on here before, it definately happens to people.

Mine have been pizza mainly, but I did dream of a doughnut once too.

As far as traveling, I do lots of research before I go. I found out if they have restuarants there with gluten free menus like pf changs, chili's, etc.

I also find out where the natural food stores are and get addresses. I bring lots of dried snacks that are gluten free along like nut bars and rice cereal bars.

My vacation went great and we stayed in three different cities.

My fiance and his neice are the ones who actually have Celiac disease. Last week, the two of them challenged me to eat gluten free for a month. It's only been 74 hours and I've had glutening dreams for the past 2 nights. I had a sandwich the first night and beer the second. I guess it's just the mind's way of keeping you on track.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
