Accidental Christmas Glutening

My mother, bless her heart, tried so hard to prodive a gluten- free Christmas meal for me. She bought a gluten-free corn bread mix, but then sprayed the pan with a flour-based spray, and didn't tell me, until after I had eaten it. Is there anything I can do to purge the gluten out so I can start to feel better? I feel like I want to puke but I can't. I'm also feeling a groggy brain fog, so forgive me if my post doesn't make any sense.

Also, hubby and I have been trying to concieve, and I just got my first period in several months, after diligently following the diet. I really think that my fertility is linked with gluten. Do you think this is going to set us back a couple of months TTC? Or maybe just this cycle is shot? I'm just feeling really dumpy after being glutened, and being around lots of kiddos at the holidays that remind me of my childless state.

The only thing that will help is time. I wish we had something that would help when we get glutened but it doesn't seem that much helps. We just have to wait out the antibody attack. You could try some sublingual B12 to see if that helps the brain fog clear a bit. If you are having bad stomach pain for some of us Pepto Bismal liquid helps.

I am glad to hear you are getting your period again. The one slip up shouldn't take you back to square one. Hopefully by this time next year you will be either holding a baby outside or in. I know how hard it is but try to relax. I was still on gluten when my kids were born but I had to wait out almost 10 years for my first. He was quite a surprise as I had given up by then. Hopefully your joyous surprise will come soon.

I'm totally feeling your pain - literally. My mother supposedly cooked gluten-free - wouldn't let me bring a thing to Christmas dinner - and within 2 hours I knew I had experienced my first full glutening since I went gluten-free for good in September. Sigh. Bloating, back and abdominal pain, gas, even itchy eyes (I didn't realize that could even be related until I saw it when I re-read a book on celiac's while I was feeling sorry for myself yesterday.)

Anyway, later on Christmas day I made chicken soup with a lot of broth, ate blandly, drank fluids, took my vitamins, rested, and warned my husband and kids that if I get really crabby it may be because I was feeling bad.

Yesterday (the day after) I sat around and read and napped much of the day - I was so fatigued. My fatigue is a little better today, but I've still been taking it easy.

I haven't read anything official of how to 'purge' gluten from your body. I figure the best thing is to not let it get you down, take care of the symptoms, and to take it easy.

I'm now in the post or tween holiday gathering mode. Today I was at a family gathering with meatballs (assumed gluten), salad with gluten dressing, and luncheon/supermarket deli meat. Help me please.... How do I know if deli meat is OK or not?

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      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.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
