I had gone a month without gluten, lactose, soy, nightshades, eggs, all that jazz. And then tonight I smoked some pot (BIG FREAKING MISTAKE PEOPLE) and found myself just shoveling everything gluten I could find into my mouth!!!! I am so terrified for this very fast and extreme seeming reaction... I just made this thread basically to complain while I'm going through it to feel a little better if it gets really bad. I'm also wondering if there's anythign I can do to make this whole process speed up a bit. Something that'll cleanse me out please??? Maybe some blood purifying food? Would that work? Diuretic foods? I feel so sick...

I'm going to drink some cleansing tea, and buy some guava apples tomorrow because I hear they make a good blood purifying food.. (if I can manage to get out the door!!! My depression and anxiety skyrocket in times like these..and I was supposed to start school for the first time since dropping out from anxiety/depression, tomorrow!!)

I don't know what symptoms you gut, but here is what I do when I get glutened:

Drink a lot of water to help flush your system and prevent dehydration.

Immodium for diareah.

Tylenol for pains headache and fever.

Benadryll for skin reaction (I get a really nasty itching rash).

Gas-x for bloating (make sure you have the green capsule looking ones, the tablets have gluten in them).

Hope this helps.

I had been wondering how you were doing? Yes, bad mistake, but let's put it right, I agree with gaingus, and you might try some pepto bismol if the stomach is acting up. Dril

Drink lots of water, take your anxiety meds, and see if you can get an appt. with your therapist and confess your sins :D Just hang on tight and you can ride it out. It won't be nice but hopefully it won't be too long. If you have some digestive enzymes take those too, they sometimes help. Hope you are feeling better soon.

I suppose this was the inevitable. The perfect reminder of why not to ever eat gluten/lactose again.

This is my first reaction, or contamination, during a period of being gluten free so I am quite afraid, I had forgotten how it feels to feel this sickly.

Thanks for the little tips. I'll eat as raw as I can tomorrow to satisfy the need for digestive enzymes. Linger around the medicine cabinet... Drink water... And continue to complain on here when it becomes unbearable.

No, don't eat raw, eat cooked, mushy, easy to digest stuff - you won't be able to handle raw :o

Sublingual B12 and fish oil help my anxiety from gluten. I also use inositol powder sometimes. You'll feel fine in a few days and I'm sorry you're sick. Next time the pot impulse hits, throw out all gluten and surround yourself with safe snacks. :P

Ok, I cooked half of the things I ate today, but still love my raw foods. You were right, actually. They were pretty hard to digest when my tummy was in that much trouble.

Skylark, fish oils seemed to help pretty well. Thanks for the tips. Either that, or just flush the pot down the toilet! =O I think this might be the way I'm going to go

I think the worst of the reaction is over. Physically, the symptoms were not as bad as usual.. . Other than diarrhea, ataxia,faster heart rate, joint and nerve pain, hot flashes and cold sweats and bodily shaking... I had a new symptom this time. I began to see things from the corner of my eye. How weird is that? Normally it was just a big bright light above or beside my vision, and then there were times little side visuals were morphing and twitching. Visual distortion was disturbing, everything seemed unfamiliar, cold and far away, like at any second it could change in front of my eyes. Usually I have the visual distortion, but I don't think I have ever had slight hallucinations like that before. I do remember this one time I saw worms in my icecream as a kid, and I ran to my mother and she said there was nothing there.... This is a very vivid memory, compared to my foggy childhood. Could this be what I think this was?

The worst of the symptoms was the depression, and anxiety, as always. I am not sure if I have ever felt as apathetic and hopeless in my life. I couldn't listen to music, couldn't read a book, couldn't even sleep. But I did, I slept all day. Still feel this way. But it's going away... Very very slowly. Hard to live with right now but it iwll pass..

This really made me realize how much better I've been feeling off of gluten. A world a part.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
