Nightmares About Getting Glutened?

I'm curious how many people have nightmares about getting glutened, and what normally happens in the nightmares. I've had maybe 7-8 in the last 4.5 years. Last night I had another one.

Last night I dreamed that I had Little Caesar's pizza while I was in Hawaii. (I just watched Hawaii Five-0.) I was horrified when I realized later in the dream that it was not gluten-free. I woke up in a panic, then realized I was ok after about 5 minutes, and not going to be comatose for two weeks. Seriously though, that's the grossest pizza in the world.

HILARIOUS!!!! i actually had my 1st nightmare the other night. i dreamt that i had ordered a california roll at a sushi restaurant. i felt comfortable cause i brought gluten free soy sauce with me.... but later i was 2nd guessing if it was REAL crab or IMITATION crab- cause i know they put wheat in some imitation crab...

when i woke up- i thought back to the one time i got sushi since going gluten free- and i honestly cant remember if it was real crab or imitation in what i got. ???? :/

Funny. I've had several. They typically involve a family dinner where I eat bread. Then I realize, oh crap, i forgot I can't eat bread. For me there is never the sense that I thought something was gluten-free when it wasn't - it's that I just spaced out and ate bread. Then I worry in the dream how I will get sick, vomiting or crazy pooping. I typically stop having the dream before I find out, though in one dream I had the same worries but the only facility was an outhouse.

Ug.

I've had about 6 or so over 2 years. They always involve an everyday situation at home where I just grab something boring like a piece of bread from the table and eat it, then have a terrible moment of realisation that I'd forgotten all about gluten. I then get almost hyterically upset, and it can go on for ages.

Unlike most of my dreams they always feel very real, so I have a real relief when I wake up from it!

oh, i'd like to add here- that when i was still on gluten, even if not much- i often had nights where i was in horrible abdominal distress that sometimes woke me up in the morning- and i would usually at this time have a nightmare like that show "i didnt know i was pregnant"... i would be in the hospital with LABOR PAINNN and think- but how and when did i get pregnant????? i didnt know???

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if...

      hi, how are u now? any answers?
    • mermaidluver22
      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
