Accidental Glutening

I ate a piece of Riesen Dark chocolate candy tonight and just as I swallowed it I thought I better look at the bag for the contents. There weren't any on the candy itself. One of the first ingedients listed was glucose from wheat or corn so now I feaking out waiting to start feeling like a bigger piece of crap than I do already.

I think I have been fairly good lately with being very strict about getting any in my diet. My BM's actually returned to a solid state after months of not being so. I just get so frustrated with this like these little slip ups are going to cost me in the long run. I know it's my fault for not looking first. I normally do. So now I wait.......for the gurgling, D, aches and pains all over and brain fog to start. I have been eating mostly chicken and celery, onion and carrotts in a soup. Then I have been taking vitamins.

I ate something from a fast food place today. It was chili from Wendys and a plain baked potato. Probably not smart to do that either. .....Sorry Just had so vent before "it" starts.

Does anyone know of anything to make it easy to cope with after being glutened? Like things I could drink or eat to make my intestines not hurt and the symptoms less?

There has been a debate on another web-site I read about the sweetener you described. No one there had tried it but reading about it, it claims to have removed all the gluten in the processing. Since you've eaten one, please let us know if you react as this sweetener is being used more and more in candy.

To help get through a glutening, I usually take extra B12 and drink soothing tea then let myself eat any gluten-free food I crave. Often one of my symptoms is hunger.

Actually one of the fast food meals I do allow myself to eat is the Wendy's chili and potato. I've never had a problem with it.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Unfortunately not going to be able to let you know how Amneal is working because I still have almost 3 month supply of Mylan.  Had annual appointment with endocrinologist last week (though get scripts for blood work more often) and since was on my last refill, she sent new script to pharmacist.  Staying on my Mylan until it's gone.  (I tend to build up a supply because after trying a couple of endocrinologists for my Hashimotos, one finally got my thyroid regulated by my taking only six days a week instead of adjusting the strength which had me constantly up and down.  Will be forever grateful to her.  Apparently high percentage of folks with Celiac also have Hashimotos so all this relevant/helpful on Celiac.com.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing this! Have you started taking the Amneal? I'm curious how it's going for you. My pharmacy gave me the option of Accord, Macleod or Amneal. I didn't realize that Amneal was formerly Lannett, or I might have chosen that one. However, I did read some anecdotal reports that some people had side effects with Amneal, so I chose Accord. I have been taking it for 3-4 weeks and the past 10 days I have developed extreme fatigue/sluggishness, joint pain and some brain fog. I don't know if it is the new levo med, but nothing else has changed. Has anyone else taken Accord levo? Any issues? It seems to fall into the "no gluten ingredients, but we can't guarantee 100%, but it's likely safe category." I'm wondering if it is worth switching to Amneal or at least getting my thyroid levels checked. If the med is causing my symptoms, I'm guessing it's not because of gluten but maybe the potency is different from Mylan and I need different dosing. Accord was recalled for lower potency, but my pharmacist said the pills I have were not part of that lot.

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.
