Made A Mistake And Had A Small Amount


BoydBT

Recommended Posts

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.

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      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!

      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.
