Gluten Eating Nightmare

I had a nightmare the other night that I ate Nacho Doritos accidentally. When I realized what I was doing I tried to take all of the chips out of my mouth (to try and reduce the gluten-don't know if this would actually do anything) and there just kept being more and more chips. I couldn't get rid of them all. It was so awful. Not to mention that in my dream it was graduation day and so I was going to miss graduation. Do other people have nightmares about this? I feel like when I first started wearing glasses and I started wearing them in my dreams. That somehow it has permeated enough to enter my dreams. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I can't be free of gluten even when I sleep.

Yes, but the regular version is that you

A. Slept through the graduation ceremony

B. Slept through the final exam

C. Couldn't find the room to take the final exam. Didn't have #2 pencil, black ink pen....

D. Missed the job interview

It's a very typical anxiety dream. ;):lol:

A few weeks ago, I dreamed someone asked me to buy Girl Scout cookies, and I burst into tears realizing I could never have peanut butter tagalongs again. :( Celiac sucks sometimes!

I had a dream that, I got kidnapped and the dude brought me a cheeseburger and I couldn't eat it. I didn't eat it for like 4 days. Finally I was so hungry that I had to just eat it consequences notwithstanding. I blame watching Dexter before bed LOL

Too bad those kidnappers couldn't be nice enough to provide you with gluten free food while they were keeping you captive. So inconsiderate of them.

I was sad when I realized I wouldn't be able to eat girl scout cookies again. I sold them as a kid. Tagalongs were my favorite.

I have just recently been diagnosed. I have been reading a lot of information, usually before bedtime. I keep having these dreams of ingredient words in bubbles and flying all around me...in attack mode. So much information to take in!

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?! Geesh if you're going to kidnap me, at least give me food I can eat or it's going to get messy!

I haven't had a gluten dream but I'm right with everyone else about the cookies. :( I miss frozen thin mints.

Ahhh, but you can have resees peanut butter cups. I bet there is a gluten free cookie that can be paired with that for something just as good.

I spent a morning selling girl guide cookies recently. It was amusing me to be selling 'poison' to other people.

I've had quite a few gluten dreams. Meh, they make a change from my usual repetoire of anxiety dreams! I think the best was being chased by cupcakes on little legs.

I'm a PhD student right now. I had a dream two nights ago in which I failed my oral dissertation defense, and then the dissertation itself was rejected. Then I had to go to a celebration party for all of my classmates who had passed their defenses and were awarded their degrees. Part of the way through the party I realized I had a fork in my hand and was eating...yep. Regular gluten cake. I'd eaten half of the piece already so the damage was already done. *sigh*

My recurring dream is that I get to be on Survivor and the only food they keep giving us for the reward challenges is things like cookies and pizza and burgers. And I have to go climb trees trying to get coconuts or bananas to survive while all my tribemates eat their reward. Then they have a challenge that requires EATING and the stuff we have to eat is something gluten and my tribe is mad at me because I won't eat it. I usually wake up around the time they are about to vote me off. :ph34r: I had a similar dream once about being on the Amazing Race too. I guess I need to cut back on my reality TV watching. :P

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
