I don't feel good

I can't keep my eyes open

I can't take my pain pills because I don't need that much anymore

I got Meijer's brand Advil.

I took two.

I got a reaction.

I wrote to them.

They wrote me back with a gluten free link that doesn't work

They told me they'll forward this on to someone else

I can't brush my teeth good and my mouth is disgusting yucky

He doesn't want me using mouthwash yet, just salt water

I feel filthy from head to toe

I didn't wash my hair cuz I didn't feel like it

I want some real food but can't have that yet

I got some broc cheese soup for lunch and it was good but I need a gallon of it

ok i'm done ranting now.

Poor baby! Most of the Advil/tylenol type stuff is gluten-free that I have found. Go take a shower & wash your head! (Say that in your Grandmothers voice!) It will improve your mood.

Can you eat little tiny bits that you don't need to chew yet? Hamburger chopped up really dinky in a little beef broth would probably hit the spot. Maybe a bakes potato with lots of butter or mixed with the mixer and milk & butter until creamy? An over ripe fresh peach mushed up? Making meself hungy. :P

The advice to take a nice warm shower is a good one. If you have any lavender scented soap, or any other favorite scent, it might make you feel better.

Do you have any cream of buckwheat on hand? That's a favorite comfort food of mine. Perhaps some scrambled eggs or some rice noodles broken up in small swallow whole bits and some nice chicken broth might be doable.

I hope your feeling better soon.

Connie dear.....I had only one molar pulled in January and thought that a pain in the butt as far as all the things you ranted about so I cannot imagine what pulling 6 teeth must be like. It was 6, wasn't it? :o My implant will be started in October so there's more fun coming for me down the road.

Take a shower and wash your hair so you'll feel cleaner and calmer. Even if you don't need the pain meds, maybe take one anyway for the hell of it as you shouldn't drink alcohol right now. ;) That always works for me! Eat your favorite mushy foods so you won't be hungry, which always makes people grumpy. Not much else that can be done...it's one of those pain in the arse times when you just have to get through it and try not to lose your mind. I am thinking of you and sending healing thoughts your way. Dental work is just no fun as it impacts what you can eat and that's huge. Feel free to rant away!

And tell me WHY I'm craving 3 Musketeers and Milky Ways and PB cups????

I have NEVER been a candy eater.

The good news is, I get off work in 16 minutes.

Oh, Connie - this too shall pass. I hope you can go home, maybe have a nice bath, and surround yourself with good things. Maybe watch something that makes you laugh?

You went to work like that? :P Supposedly, if we crave candy, we are actually craving fruit. OK, maybe...

Conniebky, I know EXACTLY how you feel! And, I appreciate the format in which you shared your frustration. To the point! No beating around the bush! Not writing, rewriting, editing and reediting til 3 hours pass and that frustrating energy is still swarming around because it hasn't been "released." Can you use Tom's toothpaste?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Waterdance · Posted

      Thanks. I believe I can trace my gluten and milk allergies to specific traumas in my life. I've had some quite severe traumas over my lifetime. Mostly in my history I was so out of sorts surviving that diagnosing gluten sensitivity/allergy/celiac was just not on the table for such a survival mode existence. Vitamin D makes sense too. Now I take very good care of myself, I have a rock solid stability and I do take 1,500 IU of D daily. It's more obvious to me now what's causing problems and so most of the time I only eat protein and vegetables. I cheat sometimes. I end up paying for it though.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Blood results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.
