I Wish I Was More Careful This Weekend

Sigh....the title says enough. This weekend was my mother's surprise b-day party. It was my responsibility to take mamma dukes out and keep her occupied while my father and my husband set up the party. Well we went to TGI Fridays (first mistake). Ordered potato skins (second mistake) and mom wanted spinach dip (third mistake). I wasn't going to say no to the b-day girl....but I should have said no to myself with eating that crap. Ugh.....so now I've been bumbling like an idiot since Saturday....and I've been craving gluten. It's like I'm adicted to the stuff and can't get away from it. She sent us home a lot of left overs to bring to work (cake and cheesecake). Can't fricking eat those....and now it's almost like I have the shakes from trying not to eat them. There were two slices of cheesecake left at work so I dumped soap all over it and tossed it in the trash...and the cake I've given away to friends, but for some reason they keep wanting us to have some...."in case I want any." They all know I'm celiac.....UGH!

So now I've been spacey...ADD like....studdering....heart burn, constipation and now my throat feels like it's ripped apart. It's different than when my throat will hurt as I'm getting sick.

Why can't I stop? I want to...I hate feeling like this.... :(

I'm impressed that you dumped soap before tossing. Good for you!

Well because of the way the trash can is....the container would have just sat on top. Although sounds gross - I didn't trust myself with it just sitting there. And I walk by it every time I get water. So to be safe...I soaped it. I just need my system cleared out.

I'm just angry at myself right now for letting myself get this bad....Grrrrr

      I agree.  If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication).  I have two friends with this.  The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication.    I'm not a medical doctor.   I'm a microbiologist.  I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
