I'm Panicking! What Do I Do?!

I just confused my boyfriend's can of beans with one of my own. I ate a few bites and then I saw that it contained wheat flour. I am scared, what do I do? I took an omega 3, zinc, and L-glutamate, but is there anything else I should do? When will it be out of my system completely? Oh god I hate myself for being so careless. Can anyone please help me?

First of all, calm down. you will live to see another day.

In my experience, once it's in your system, your body will do whatever it can to get rid of it. once that happens, you'll start to feel better. Depending on how much you ate, it may be a couple of days before you feel normal again.

I'm really sorry you've had this experience. we've all been there.

drink plenty of water to help flush your body, and if you're having trouble going to the bathroom, try drinking some coffee.

Lessons are usually learned the hard way, unfortunately. Relax. There's not alot you can do besides what you've already done. If there was a sure-fire cure, we'd all be in MUCH BETTER shape than we are. Best wishes!

Yep, just hold on for the ride. You body will handle it the best way it knows. Won't be fun but it will pass.

Tell dear boyfriend I said he needs to fall in love with some gluten free beans please.

yup, don't panic. But remember you need to READ the label on everything you eat. You can't take anything for it. The4 wheat will pass on it's own. The ride will not be fun but you will be ok.

Isn't it a horrible, sinking feeling when you realize you've eaten something you should not? Oh my gosh, I feel your pain.

It happened to me on vacation in October. A chef pointed to a rack of allergy-friendly foods and told me they were all gluten free. I purchased the chocolate chip cookies only to learn, after eating one or two that I had been glutened. I loved the cookies, so I looked at the calorie count . . . only to glance at the ingredients list, too, and discover that WHEAT FLOUR was the first ingredient!

I didn't read the label first. My fault.

Anyway, I remember my heart sinking, pounding . . . and I remember wanting to beat myself up, big time. I was sooooo mad!

Looking back, it was a blessing. It taught me to be more careful, no matter what.

It sure was heck when it happened, though, especially since I was flying home that day. I am not sure if I spent more time in my seat . . . or in the bathroom in-flight. Augh!

I survived. It took about a week to get back to feeling better.

Anyway, you're not alone. Sending a huge hug to you.

Hang in there, and let us know how you are doing, how long it takes for your symptoms to subside, etc.

I was eating at a friends house for dinner. It was brats. They were so good I thought I'd have another. I remember thinking I'd have to ask her what brand she was serving because it was do good. As I went to serve myself another one I noticed the BUN I had in my hand. Oh, yea, a poison bun, no wonder they tasted so good!!!! I was so sick. I'd been gluten free for two years at that point so why in the world I was eating that bun I'll never know. Funny thing is the next year this same friend found out she had celiac disease.

When we confirmed I had celiac disease, I cleared out a cupboard in the kitchen that is now for gluten-free foods only. My hubby has a cupboard for his poison (I mean, gluten-containing foods) way over on the other side of the kitchen :) We make sure to keep those foods separate so that I don't accidentally eat something I shouldn't.

Drink lots of water and I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks everyone. I have a hard time taking in many fluids, but I will definitely force myself to drink as much water as possible.

If I have a lot of discomfort, an Epsom salt bath feels great, at least temporarily. Also, I have heard from some that taking gluten-free milk thistle helps, although I have no idea if it is true.

How are you feeling?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
