Having A Rough Day

I got up with a little pain this morning and it increased as the day went on. My side hurt really bad and I have back pain. No headache right now. I cannot figure out why the increased pain. I have pain everyday, usually moderate after I eat and it grows from there. I've bought a new pot for my food etc. It gives me hope when I see it does take months to feel better, I just wish I could figure out if it's because my intestines are shot or am I CC myself a little here and there. On vacation I was feeling better, coming home I'm hurting more. So, is it my home or I was more relaxed on vacation?

Do any of you feel worse if you are under stress?

I also have to hand wash dishes. I switched brushes and use gloves, but feel like I react there. I clean my dishes first, change brushes etc, and wash the gluten ones. Am I being paranoid?

I feel terrible if I get stressed out, AND I felt worse after coming back from the beach. It's possible that you are getting tiny cc's and they add up to a big reaction?

I love that you are taking the precautions with doing the dishes, I would too! Just give it time, I am finally not having constant pain in my side, 4 months after going gluten-free! It is hard to be patient but it was really worth it to me :)

Thanks! I'm trying to look around my home for CC possiblities. I made a "bread" basket for my children and it has its own table away from counters. They can only use that table for making their sandwich or toast. Some days the pain gets overwhleming. My sides hurt all the time except when I first wake up. Thanks again for the hope! :)

I've always felt like my dermatitas herpetiformis flares up when I'm under stress, although I can't be totally sure.

If you are sharing a kitchen with gluten-eaters, then It's very possible you could be getting cross contamination.

even if you use a different scrubbie, and wear gloves, your plates, cutlery, and cookware could be picking up trace gluten from the sink, other kithen surfaces, ect... just a thought.

sometimes it's a rough road, but if you are moving in the right direction don't get discouraged, at least know that you are healing and getting better, even if you run into some adversity along the way!!

And you are probably if anything erring on thr side of not being paranoid enough, not being too paraniod if you are willing to wash gluteny dishes, I wouldn't do that under any circumstances myself, sorry but I've just suffered way too much. From a risk/ reward view, you are risking your health for the reward of what??

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
