Just Venting a Bit

Here I am, 1month gluten-free and it has been great!

But I think I got glutened last week -no idea from what exactly!

So, I had the digestion symptoms coming back 5 days ago; took some gas-x and miralax the 1st day and it helped making them go away...my digestive tract feels ok now, but the fatigue/ brain fog, and my dyshidrosis & acne came back too -I feel like crap.

I hope this isn't going to last too long, 'cause this is tough and right now I just miss so much feeling good again!

So I guess I just needed to write it down, it helps a little bit already.

And I wanted to thank all of you guys, it's been a while I'm hanging around the board and reading treads, and it is fantastic how it helps reading your stories (for all the info, and the support!)

I hope you feel better! How long do the symptoms usually last if you accidentally digest gluten? Hopefully not too long.

I understand how you feel about the board, this has been great for me to have somewhere I can go to learn more and ask for help.

Well, I think this is the first time I got glutened, so I have no idea how long this "usually" lasts...I guess I'll find out now :)

I thought maybe you type with an exotic accent. I just type with a boring Midwest one.

Sorry you feel bad. I know that my iron pills & some of my vitamins bug me sometimes (no gluten just hard to process). Am having a vitamin holiday today.

Hi,

I have been gluten free for YEARS, so I was so surprised last week to be feeling really lousy after lunch a couple of days in a row. Come to find out, the shrimp sauce I thought was okay was not--it listed WHEAT as an ingredient! I think now I must go back to square one and really be diligent about reading the ingredients in everything. Hope you are doing great today and that you are getting over being glutened. Good ending to my story was that I slept like a baby last night, once that was all out of my system. Best wishes.

kareng, this time it was a typo but at times my sentences can seem strange -it's because I'm french :)

welda, it's interesting. I am so focused on understanding the diet & feeling better now, that I didn't even think about how it must feel being an old pro of the gluten-free diet...I guess we all have our distracted moments, weather we're newbies or not ;) otherwise, I also guess (hope?) that it gets easier??

anyway, thanks again for your replies!

feels better already, just to read you -and I'm sure I'll wake up feeling even better tomorrow!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
