Wish It Was An Oreo...

About 20 minutes ago, I ate 3 Mi-Del Ginger Snaps and then looked at that bag and realized that they were NOT the gluten-free kind. (I KNOW!! READ EVERY LABEL - I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF!) I immediately panicked and started crying. I am almost shaking I am so scared of whats to come. All I can say is that if I was going to eat straight up wheat cookies.. I wish it was an Oreo!

I'm nervous. Haven't been directly glutened since starting the diet. I guess I will get to see the severity of my reaction. Eeek.

Oh I hate how that brand looks almost the same. I have thought to myself many times that people probably do that a lot. Good luck, I am sorry.

I grabbed my hubs beer instead of mine. Try not to get to upset- that makes your stomach worse. Probably want to cancel the wild plans for tonight. Hang in there. Mine didn't turn out to be too bad. Had to spend some extra time in bathroom & eat bland for a couple okf days. Also got a fierce headache.

Thank you all. I can't even explain how comforting it is to have people who understand!

So this is weird. It's been over 3 hours and NOTHING. My stomach hurt a little and I saw nauseated, but not more than normal. I am always this way after I eat. In the past, if I get cc'ed I normally get diarrhea right away and feel like death is upon me. Obviously I am not in the clear yet, but I am shocked by my lack of reaction so far.

By the way, wild plans have been cancelled. Haha. Going to spend the night cheering on the Penguins from my couch with my heating pad. Just hoping I can make it to see Mom tomorrow.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
