Sick Of Getting Glutened

So once again, I've glutened myself. I sick, sick, sick, of it. I don't feel horrible yet, but it is headed that way hour by hour. Grrrr. So what stupid thing did I do? I used a glass dish that was recently used to heat gluten soup. Washing is supposed to take care of that problem. The other possibility is that I was desperate to get chicken out of my teeth at work and pulled a strand of hair to floss one tooth in the ladies room. I use gluten-free shampoo. I barely touched the underside of my tongue with my washed fingertip. I miss the old days where I could pick my teeth and bite my nails with abandon.

I just can't seem to get healthy no matter how hard I'm trying. I'm going for gluten depression right now. I know you have all been there, and I'm not alone, but tonight, it feelis like I'm the most miserable creature on earth. Right now I'm wondering how I can live another 50 years if I really need to be in a glass bubble.

Now it is time for a gluten nappy-nap.

Wanna share your misery and perk me ups?

Aww hun I feel you. It's so frustrating. Especially when a simple mistake does it, trust me, I've done it thousands of times, either from not knowing or just not being careful enough. Its so frustrating.

It does get easier, but I've been at this awhile now and just somehow glutened myself the other day and have a huge p%$#@# cyst on my chin (thats what it does to me, comes out painfully on my skin within 15 minutes or so). I don't even really know what did it. I went out for sushi the other night and had a roll that had some cream cheese in it, all I can think is maybe the cream cheese had an additive or something. Meh. I hate having to be so careful.

It sucks, there isnt much you can do but be good to yourself and take care of yourself afterwards. I hope you feel better!

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.
