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.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Nausea

      The Happy Tart review

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my...

      The Happy Tart review

      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
