My hubby likes Arby's and wanted to go there for lunch. Well it's father's day, so... They have salads there which appear to be gluten free, but I'm not sure how safe it is. I thought I'd try it (mostly to prove a point to both him and myself), and if I had a reaction, I'd know not to trust a kitchen that's not my own. Turns out I didn't have to worry so much about their kitchen, but had to worry more about my hubby! We each got a cup of water, and the first sip I took of mine, I noticed that the straw tasted sweet. :blink: He had just eaten a turnover then accidentally sipped my water instead of his own! At least both our boys are down for the afternoon so I can deal with the cramping. :rolleyes:

Hope for the best--perhaps nothing will come of it...or has it already started??

sorry, hon. Hope it passes quickly.

Thanks :) Already started, but not as bad as if I'd eaten the turnover myself. :lol: It's tolerable, but annoying.

Lesson learned for the hubby!! Be careful!!! :)

:lol: I hope he learned it! He's the sort of person who's always in a terrible hurry. When he walks, he never strolls, he goes straight on green and makes a u-turn instead of waiting at a red left turn...etc. We even ate that meal in the car. Because he's always in a rush, he doesn't always pay attention to little details, like which cup is really his. :rolleyes:

hmm... ;) Sounds like hubby needs to acquire some relaxation techniques. What's the rush?? :blink:

Part of what got me into health trouble was stressing, hurrying, not paying attention to what was going on in my body. I had so many things wrong,yet I ignored them and "put up with them" because I "had to get things done RIGHT now!! so-and- so needs me, I HAVE to do this NOW, blah blah blah"

.... ARRGH!... rush, rush, rush.......I'm just sayin.

I worry about my niece, nephew, step-daughter..they are so BUSY, yet often ill, stressed-out, feel lousy.

I was the same way at your age and then, my whole body broke down and I am trying to REVERSE all that to get my health back.

You guys are still young and can stop/avoid health issues from getting out of control. Take it s-l-o-w!! B) chill out. :)

The tortoise won the race, remember :lol: :lol: :lol:

Gosh, I sound like some "wise old woman"..I'm not all that sage, really --and THAT old either....just "experienced" :lol: .... hahaha

Hope those crumbs didn't bite you on the behind. Are you okay today??

:lol: Thanks for the "experience" :D I actually am generally a mellow person. I guess opposites attract though, and since I've been married (though I very much love my husband), a few of his bad "rushing" habits have rubbed off over the last 9 years. I'm currently being treated (not with meds) for mild anxiety/depression and OCD tendencies. But as I look farther into this gluten free lifestyle, I think that will also help me quite a lot too. :)

I've started taking yoga at the Y. Maybe I can talk my hubby into joining me for a Saturday class sometimes. ;)

And I'm doing ok. Still feeling run down and a little crampy but better than yesterday. :P

You may well see that OCD and anxiety/depression disappear gluten-free...they are often caused by vitamin/mineral deficiencies from gut malabsorption!! I developed horrid anxiety (when sick from celiac)and never had it in my life--and it has virtually disappeared.

That was awful! I cannot do meds either. I took some yoga classes and try to meditate, but it's hard with a buzzing head from gluten. :blink: it's easier now (gluten-free 6 months)

Hang in there honey--and anything you can do to relax, it sure helps!

Thanks :) I sure hope the gluten free takes care of that. Sometimes, I get too frustrated with my 3 year old, then feel guilty when I overreact. It'll be nice when I can keep my cool almost all the time like I use to. B)

My hubby was still in disbelief yesterday over how such a small particle of gluten could make me react like that. But I think he got the message last night when I was too crampy and waaaay to fatigued for hanky panky! :P

I'm feeling much better this morning. :)

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
