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.

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!

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.

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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
