I'm On My Way To Hospital.

Well, I'm having another one of these episodes that I've been having. I'm at work. My daughter is going to come and pick me up and take me on over there now. I don't know what is causing this, but it's time to find out.

I feel like I'm going to faint away. I got up, ate everything I'm supposed to eat, was feeling fine, ate a chicken breast with sweet baby ray's bbq sauce and crashed.

I need to go there and stop screwing around with this, so here I go.

Karen G., please look in your personal messages.

Keeping you in my thoughts, Connie. Let us know what they find out.

Connie I hope your feeling better soon. Could you maybe try going with less processed food for a bit? That might help. There may be something in the BBQ sauce that your body isn't tolerating right now. I know a chicken breast with just salt and maybe pepper or a couple fresh herbs rubbed might be a bit boring but sometimes at first bland and boring is what we need.

Keep us posted on how your doing.

Praying there is a good doctor at the hospital for you to see.

Chicken breasts could be injected with broth that could contain gluten.

Good luck, Connie, and I'm sure you'll be able to get to the bottom of this. It doesn't sound gluten related at all and more like a blood sugar problem. I had those big time when undiagnosed and then after, until I healed a bit. Keep us posted on your progress and feel better soon!

A friend made us "gluten-free" pulled pork with Sweet Baby Ray's, but I was suspicious, so I faked like I ate it. (Some of us celiacs have to make sure something is safe before it passes our lips.) The next day, when I was in the store I read the labels of a couple of the different flavors of Sweet Baby Ray's, seeing there were ingredients I recognized as gluten-laden, I gave myself a little pat on the back and noted to myself not to trust whatever that friend makes for us again. And she says she's gluten-free too! (Just not a serious celiac like me.) Celiacs really can't mess around with processed foods. Learn to make your own sauce, and if your recipe calls for catsup or another substance that might have gluten, don't use that recipe.

I absolutely can't eat chicken breast. It gives me a big stomach ache. Another friend (serious celiac) pointed to something found in the white meat that is not in the dark meat, so I eat chicken legs and thighs mostly, but can handle wings and backs too.

Sweet Baby Rays is indeed gluten-free. There may be ingredients in there that don't agree with everyone but that would be a separate issue.

Hope Connie is doing ok....

im new to this.... what happens that we could have to go to the hospital? and what can they actually do for us there?

I went to a party where they had strange food from africa and i ate everything they claimed was gluten free but got sicker than I have ever been since bein diagnosed so wife took me to hospital. pretty much just fell apart like she described, all at once.

I hope you feel better, let us know what the doctors say.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
