Tears Of Joy!

I have an unrelated medical problem which causes me considerable pain. I have been unable to find ibuprophen that contains neither gluten nor corn. The pain has been flaring pretty badly lately, and I HAD to take something for it. I have "corned" myself for the past two weeks, just to find some relief. Of course, that has made my psoriasis flare up worse than ever, and my insomnia has come back with a vengence!

My jaw (infection) hurts. My hands hurt. My feet hurt. I can't sleep. I have been tearfully miserable for the past couple of weeks.

At the Gluten Free Festival last week in Rapid City, I talked to the pharmacist who can compound ibuprophen with no gluten or corn. BUT - I need a prescription which means a doctor's office visit, plus the tablets cost about a dollar a piece.

Well, my local pharmacy does not compound mediceines, but I read online yesterday that there is a thing called BC Asperin Powder that is G and C free. From what I read, I thought it was only available in the South, but my local pharmacy can get it! They ordered me some this morning and it will be here Monday. It is only twenty dollars for a bottle of fifty doses. Still a lot, but much less than the ibuprophen would have been.

After they told me, I actually got teared up. Relief is in sight! I just wanted to share my hope and my happiness with you all. Maybe I can get back to feeling as good as I did when I first went gluten-free.

I'm crossing my gluten-free fingers for you!

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I noticed eating gluten-free or CGF foods have higher sugar and sodium some. No added sugar protein bars I found better with plant fiber. I wanted to know what are you go to besides whole fruits/veggies that you find are healthy for you where you can feel eating normal without hurting yourself or health. I was looking into subscription based like Thrift to see if there is something that is healthier CGF that can make me feel normal. Thanks

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!
