Help Me Solve My Mystery!

Okay, so I am now inbetween puke-breaks and I thuoght I would try and figure this out. I had a migraine all morning since around 9, slept from noon until four, have been throwing up and D, feeling depressed and teary as well. I have no idea what could have made me feel this way.

Dinner last night

Baked potato topped with stir-fried (in water) peppers and onion, black beans. 1/2 chicken breast cooked in lime and garlic.

Breakfast this morning

Bowl of koala krisp (gluten-free) with lactose-free milk

Brown rice cake with goat cream cheese spread

Migraine starts, I start feeling lethargic, extremely tired, and weak. (When I say weak, I mean I was putting away dishes and had a hard time lifting plates)

Lunch

1 piece gluten-free toast (rice bread from Whole Foods) with peanut butter, my own jar.

Dinner-ish

So I tried to have some food, thinking I might be feeling sick because I was hungry.

gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free pancakes from TJ's. Used my own margarine in the pan, had pure maple syrup on top. Ingredients were not listed, it just said "100% pure maple syrup".

After this snack (ten minuets) I had a rush of D followed by violent throwing up. My migraine is back and I feel disgusting. To top it all off, I am in a house full of strangers 5 hours from home.

I have been being extra careful this last week because I am not staying in my home. All of my food is clearly labeled, as well as my toaster and cutting board. I just want to start feeling better and figure out what may have bothered me this much.

Sorry for the novel! Thanks for trying to help, any suggestions are appreciated.

Are you using your own pan? I always take my own pan along. I get glutened every time I try to use someone else's pan. Could someone have used one of your products and CC'd it? Sometimes, even when you clearly mark your own things, others will use them and not realize what they are doing.

Migraines on their own upset my stomach.

I'm sorry this has happened to you...feel better.

I don't see any thing that jumps out at me. The longer you are gluten free, you may find that your reaction time varies, which make it really, really hard to pinpoint a problem. :blink:

I hope you get to feeling better soon. It could be just the plain old flu .My daughter had the same symptoms for about three days. Still weak but improving alot.

If you are super-sensitive it could be just being around others that eat wheat & the crumbs ....nerves can also put one into a mild panic that can make a person ill ....

get better soon.

You poor thing :(

Nothing in your diet sounds suspicious--I'm thinking you either have a virus or somehow got cross contaminated from the shared kitchen--pans, dish cloths/towels, etc.

In any event, feel better! Having this happen away from home sounds miserable.

The only other thing that I question is the milk. I noticed you didn't use any other dairy products, so maybe casein bothers you rather than or in addition to lactose?

Otherwise, I get a migraine a couple times a year. They make me sick on my stomach also, and aren't usually food related. I got one this spring that seemed to be triggered by my allergies.

Hope you feel better soon!!!

I have been using their pans and cloths..this is the only day ive been sick and Ive used the fry pan twice (well, dinner, and then again today). I'm thinking that's it. Thanks for the suggestions, it's comforting knowing there are sympathetic people out there who understand waht im going through.

      @Rebeccaj, You may choose to get tested to see if you have an allergy to wheat.  That's a different type of immune response to wheat than Celiac Disease.  It's possible to have both.  You may need an Epipen. A histamine release in the sinuses upon being exposed to wheat in wheat allergy can cause a headache.    Talk to your doctor about wheat allergy testing.

      Although sensitivity to gluten varies between individuals, multiple research studies suggest that consuming up to 10 mg of gluten a day is safe for most people with coeliac disease. Wheat flour contains approximately 10% gluten by weight, so this is equivalent to 100 mg of flour, or a piece of wheat bread the size of a small pea. There is a case report of farmers with coeliac disease developing symptoms from inhaling gluten containing dust from cattle feed but that is an extreme example and they were exposed to very high concentrations of airborne gluten over a long period of time. In a domestic situation, unless someone is making dough and putting a lot fo flour into the air, I don't think you will get significant airborne exposure. The thing to watch out for is making sure work surfaces, cutlery and utensils are clean. If you have to share a toaster, get some toasting pouches.

      So? What do you think it will go ahead? Did you partecipate to this trial? what's the result for yuo? Thanks a lot for your answers!

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.
