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 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

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
