Made A Mistake And Had A Small Amount


BoydBT

Recommended Posts

BoydBT Apprentice

Hi. I was out last night to dinner with a new friend. I was explaining to her my celiac disease.

She had never heard of it. I was very careful ordering my Sushi dinner. I t was delicious as always. She ordered a spider roll, breaded soft shell crab. One of my old favorites.

At the very end of dinner she had one piece left over. It looked good and I completely forgot it contained breaded crab, I ate it without even thinking.

Today I barely made it to work, I had to go to the bathroom asap. I was thinking why.

Then remembered.....how easy it is to make a mistake. How could such a small amount be so nasty? How could I forget? I wonder now if it will take 72 hours to clear out.

I have been gluten-free for 9 months and still have to catch myself once in a while. Its just a habit to take one or eat the leftovers. My kids have threatened to stab me with a fork if I take a cracker from thier plate. (I think they sometimes secretly hope they will get the chance.) ;)

It might not have been that little taste at all. Did you use any regular soy sauce? Did you eat their wasabi paste? Alot of brands of wasabi have wheat in them. Did you eat the eel? Alot of times eel has a soy sauce drizzeled over it.

I usually stick to sashimi and some steamed rice rather than eat the prepared pieces.

True. I sometime bring the gluten-free soy otherwise I avoid it. I did have a small amount of Wasabi. But now that I think of it at home I eat only gluten-free rice, both reg and sushi rice. I wonder if it was the rice as the spider roll does have rice I think. hmmm

I forget.

I actually do the Sashimi most of the time too, without any rice.

That's not bad at all. Yesterday while at work a co-worker brought in some cookies that she said were gluten-free. I had two and within an hour the storm was rolling in. Major body aches and backaches. I had to rush home just so I could get in bed and get my back on a heating pad. Thank God I have heated car seats. I was wiped out for about 4 hours. Amazingly enough, I didn't have any bathroom problems. Would have rather had the bathroom problem than the aching body problems. :unsure:

Now I only get potty trouble. I guess we are all potty soldiers here. OMG I there I go, I can't even hold it back at times. I get those where I just make it to the potty. IT IS LIKE BOMB BLOW OUT! lol.

I do wonder who hooked me up to the air hose.

STOP IT! Boyd Mods need to start a potty forum.

I know I Am Cat could write a poem on these issues for all of us.

I am Cat is my best everything when we are getting along. I knew she had celiac disease, and bugged her enough to be tested. She came up positive.

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi all !! Did anyone ever get prescribed methylprednisone steroids for inflammation of stomach and intestines?  Did it work ??  Thank you !!

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
