Still Having Major Problems

hey all. just got back from my honeymoon where i was sick for most of the trip regardless of avoiding dairy and gluten.

today i am still feeling extrememly sick with severe stomach pain and nausea and i have not had any gluten or dairy.

all i had today was a scrambled egg with some leftover steak for breakfast. I am 100% positive that this had no CC as i do not even keep gluten in the house.

I also had some hot tea as I have a soar throat. THIS and the splenda used to sweeten it was double checked to make sure there was no gluten.

THE only other thing that could be a problem is the throat drops for my soar throat. THIS Was also double checked to have no gluten.

I have not idea what it could be and I don't think this is normal. DOEs anyone have any suggestions?

I have some Hall's sore throat drops and they are supposed to be gluten free. However, they do have glucose syrup in them which can be derived from wheat starch but supposedly has so little ppm of gluten that it isn't supposed to cause reactions. Nonetheless, I've heard people say they have reacted to glucose syrup so it could be the drops for your sore throat.

So sorry for you!

Well, re: the gluten? Could be the splenda or the throat drops, because unfortunately 'gluten free' does not actually mean 'no gluten.' It just means less than a certain amount of gluten (and that amount is determined by country), and there are varying levels of sensitivity to gluten, so some people will still react to some products that are 'gluten free.'

In the studies that I've read, they've looked at some people, eating very gluten free, who have refractory celiac disease. A number of them improved when they lowered their gluten level even further.

Also, we've experienced something that I know a few others have, namely that our reactions get worse the longer we're off of gluten. Now, I don't know if you get more sensitive to gluten, too, sometimes, or if the reactions being worse just let you know that something is not good for you, but I DO know that both my daughter and I have foods now that we can't eat that we ate without noticing a problem a few months ago (we've only been gluten-free for a little over a year, now)

We try to eat them now, we get really sick. So...might want to try and drop the sweetener and cough drop and see how it goes. Couldn't hurt, anyway! :)

It does to me also, plus migraine headaches.

I avoid any artificial sweetners now. I had problems with them also.

What I've found, after being on a fairly restricted (but not total elimination diet) is that you have a reaction to food intolerances roughly 10-24 hours after injesting it, and the after effects last longer. Food allergy reactions occur quicker, are more immediately severe, but don't last as long. That's my body, not sure if anyone else is the same.

Some of the attacks sneak up on you, some of them pounce. It makes this all so confouunding at times.

I'm so very sorry that you were sick during your honeymoon, and wish you good health!

I'd try to eliminate soy before eggs, but you never know until you try! Good luck...and I wish you a long and happy marriage!

Where did you go on your honeymoon and what did you eat? Any chance of food poisioning instead of gluten?

      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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
