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

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
