Nightmares About Getting Glutened?

[munchkinette]

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???
