The Good, The Bad And The Sister.

Ok, I just ate Campbell's Chicken and Rice soup, thought I was starting a mini panic attack, although it didn't really feel THAT extreme, took half a valium, now I have a dry mouth, extremely thirsty, dizzy, don't feel like getting up and walking and have a headache. I feel slightly glutened, not full blown, but glutened just the same.

I read the label before and after I ate it, nothing funny there....I read on this board the old posts about this soup. There is MSG in it, which I've never tolerated. maybe that's it. I can't believe how thirsty I am. It did have a lot of soy this-and-that stuff in it.

I have quit eating gluten, I've done really well on it, I find that a gluten free diet isn't so extreme and dramatic as it thought it was going to be. Except I drank regular beer last week and felt like crap for two days and now I have about 7 sores in my mouth and on my tongue.

My big sister has had a problem with depression forever. She takes antidepressants for 4-5 months, then goes, "I feel fine, I don't need to be taking these pills". Then she stops, then she gets depressed, then starts them again. I've always gotten so aggravated with her. I'm like, the evidence is RIGHT THERE, what's amatter with you?

That is EXACTLY what I'm doing with gluten. So, yeah, we shouldn't judge each other. I don't know when I'll EVER learn that lesson.

The good news is I am finally getting my teeth fixed. I'm getting 5 cut out (general surgery), then I'm getting these cool new flexible bridges that they make, (after 2-3 months of healing which means I'll have no back teeth for all that time, I don't care, it's worth it). And I'm getting my teeth bleached! I'm so happy about all this! The bleaching is $250 but I'm treating myself. I've always wanted to get my teeth bleached, so I am. It will feel so good to have a happy smile again. I never smile now, don't want no one to see my teeth.

So, yeah, that Campbells soup GOT me. I make the same thing at home cheap and easily.

Sorry for the ramblin!

Sorry you're feeling sick. I get those stupid canker sores if I eat gluten too.

Campbells doesn't claim their soups are gluten free and their broths used to list wheat protein. You probably got CC'd from all the noodle soups on their lines. You can get a list of their gluten-free stuff here.

Progresso has some really nice gluten-free soups. I love their clam chowder and lentil.

Good luck on the dental work! I hope it goes well.

Oh - and tell your big sister to try stopping gluten. Gluten intolerance/celiac is genetic and it can absolutely cause depression.

I agree, there is not one Campbell's soup that I would buy. Even thought it may not list wheat, barley could be an ingredient.

The Canadian Campbell's Gluten Free Listing is quite different from the US.

Unquenchable thirst is one of the main symptoms which lead me to figuring out gluten was bothering me. I didn't really notice anything else at the time. Since then however, I've realized that there were a lot more symptoms. Some I thought were just "normal" for me, and others I blamed on other things entirely.

I agree that your sister should try going gluten-free.

Connie,

No one is judging you for struggling with being gluten free. Everyone has to make up their own mind to follow this way of eating or to be sick. The "sickness" manifests itself in many different ways. I'm sorry you are having trouble coming to terms with this. I hope you have at least one friend or family member supporting you in your desire to eat gluten free. It sounds like your sister needs to be gluten free as well.

P.S. I wouldn't trust anything made by Campbell's. Even their cream of chicken soup has wheat in it. :blink:

Hi Connie! I think Sis should go gluten-free, too and see if it helps. Good luck with that! A project to work on after you get yourself sorted out. :P

I thought Campbell's soups were not gluten-free? The only ones I buy are bean with bacon and a couple of the vegetable ones. But I don't have a gluten problem. Daughter does. She doesn't eat them.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
