Not Feeling Well Today...

Oy...felt like I got glutened yesterday evening...not sure from what, possibly from work. It got really busy, I was the only server, bringing out food, clearing tables, spilled beer, etc. Probably pretty likely. Still feeling the effects this morning, the muscular pain in my pelvic area is pretty intense. Had a Vega shake but now feel nauseous. Very tired and just "down", especially because I have to go train people at the gym...VERY hard to do when I'm feeling like this...I'm very careful when I'm getting the weights and putting them back for my clients, but it's inevitable that I'm going to be using my core/pelvic muscles. I think I might be a bit constipated today, too, which doesn't usually happen, but is not helping with the ouch factor.

I'll get through it, I always do, just wanted to complain/vent a bit, I guess.

Also, went to buy gluten-free dog food yesterday, got it home and realized it was WHEAT free, but not GLUTEN free...frustrating! So hopefully I can return it and find something else.

And one last thing....I haven't had a day off in a couple weeks, and today was supposed to be my Friday...I've booked a 90min massage for tomorrow (YES!), but when I looked at the bar schedule yesterday, they put me on for a short shift at 430! It's not a long shift and I need the money, but I also need some time off :P Oh well. At least I still can go to the massage. It's not going to be relaxing, I am ridiculously tense, but it should help a great deal.

Okay...thanks for letting me ramble on LOL It's not so bad, it will get better, I am strong ;)

Sorry your feeling so lousy. Can you wear food service gloves at work to help prevent any possible CC? If the Vega shake is making you feel queasy you might want to do a smoothie of some kind for a while instead. I hope you can get some much deserved rest this weekend.

Six months ago, I was offered a position in a bakery. I didn't take it because I had just started work somewhere else, but I can't imagine how junky I would have felt, breathing in flour constantly. I think there are just some jobs that are more hazardous with a food allergy/intolerance. Feel better!

Hi Hon,

I've been really scarse on here... mainly because I don't feel like I have any advise at the moment. I'm in a "I don't care" kind of phase at the moment, not about being gluten free, just about life! So even going online is hard work. :) Shocking hey?!

Sorry you aren't doing well. I'm not doing much better myself, although I am excited, I've found a nutritionalist who works in conjunction with a homeopathic doctor, and I'm going to their practice on the 4th of April. I've started filling in her very long and extensive form. It's been rather helpful actually and interesting to get my file from my gp. I've realized though, the more that I've gotten into my gluten free diet, that I'm actually still getting quite a bit of gluten in, in things I haven't been checking. So getting some professional advise on my diet is going to be super helpful.

We have an 18 year old whose been living on the street since coming out of the orphanage (6 months ago) staying with us for a couple of months. So I've had to really get creative with my cooking. Yesterday I made myself gluten free pizza bases and them ordinary, but didn't think of changing the sheets that I baked them on. And the other day I made spaghetti bolognese, made myself rice noodles and them ordinary pasta, but checked the pasta the way I normally do, by biting into it to check if it's cooked. :( So much still to change. It'll be easier when it's just my husband and I, cause he'll eat the same as me, but it's a bit expensive buying gluten free products for three people, and this boy has enough to now get used to, without his diet being 'weird'. We normally eat very healthily, lots of vegetarian, raw food and fish, but have had to 'relax' a bit with a youngster around.

Anyway, I'm carrying on with not much point. Basically, just keep at it. Keep learning, keep changing what needs to change, keep trying... it's going to get easier and easier. And eventually it'll be normal for you (and for me).

Enjoy the massage! Trusting your work schedule and money matters sort themselves out soon, so that you can priorities rest and your personal well being.

Here's a list of gluten free dog foods. I do the same thing, so I know the feeling. Hang in there. Working in restaurants is tough, especially when you are gluten free. It's why I've avoided going back to waitressing for a second job.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      Insomnia help

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
