Gluten Eating Nightmare


Googles

Recommended Posts

Googles Community Regular

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*

GlutenFreeManna Rising Star

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

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application.  And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Hi Im new to this game, so bear with me.  May through to December last year totally miserable, covered literally head to toe in the worst rash ever, itching like I just cant explain. After seven different medics told me just to "keep putting the cream on, whatever it is will go in the end" finally one lovely doc diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis. Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.
