Got Glutened By Frying Oil

I was really silly yesterday. I was craving something substantial for lunch so my coworkers and I went to a burger place that does gluten free buns. I also decided to get chips (fries) because I just really felt like them. The burger place were great, they described exactly which ingredients contained gluten and which didn't and warned me that the frying oil was also used for a breaded product. But since I'm not diagnosed celiac I decided I'd experiment. Ugh. D later that afternoon and evening and I couldn't eat dinner (amazingly out of the ordinary for me!) and then I fell asleep on the sofa at about 8pm (not terribly unusual) and stayed asleep there about 3 hours, which is unusual because my sofa is super tiny and I usually wake after about 20 minutes. I woke around 11pm and went straight to bed and slept for another 11 hours. I'm always an early riser, I wouldn't sleep til 11 usually unless I'd be up until 4 am.

So I guess I really am that sensitive to gluten. I felt fantastic when I first went gluten free at the beginning of June, but less of a difference as I went along (I think dairy needs to go too but I've been resisting). I'm not remotely tempted to eat gluten again, which surprises me since I tend to be the kind of dieter who can easily justify 'just a little bit' even though I know that with sugary things a little bit means a whole lot soon after. But I guess I was wondering whether I really was as sensitive to gluten as other around here, given that I wasn't as sick as others were before I started investigating. My blood tests were all negtive (despite a 3 month gluten challenge) and I don't have the gene but my doctor supported me going gluten free as she feels it's not really all that good for anyone. I live by myself and mostly take my lunch to work so being gluten free hasn't been all that hard, so I guess yesterday was a very good learning experience considering I'll be travelling for a month in the US later this year. I can't let be anything less than 100% with this.

Better you find out when you can be at home in your own bathroom then when you are traveling. I know several people who tested negative for Celiac but have other GI problems and their GIs told them to go gluten-free or at least gluten lite because it is hard for everyone to digest.

      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!
