I'm Hurting So Badly

My husband wanted to go out for his birthday. He choose a Mexican restaurant. I called ahead, spoke to the manager about my dietary restrictions. He told me that it was no problem and told me what I should order. ( not a chain). We got there,and I asked for the manager again to again go over everything. He explained to the waiter in Spanish what to do. They told me the chips were 100% corn and a dedicated fryer. I felt confident in my meal.

The meal came out. Dh and I split it. It was so delicious. I was really excirlted that I found a great place to eat.

As the waiter was clearing the table, the manger came over and looked upset. He said something got lost in translation, and my meal was NOT gluten free. I broke out in tears.

So it feels like I got a lot of gluten. My stomach hurts to press on it. I'm so bloated I loom pregnant. My head hurts. I has such bad gas pains. I'm foggy. My joints hurt. I slept until 9:30 this morning (7:30 is sleeping in for me$ and I'm still exhausted. I've been in and out of the bathroom. My vision is blurry. I'm cranky. My eye lids are twitching.

Anything I can do or take to hurry this along? I am miserable!

I'm so sorry. :( It helps me to drink lots of water. Consider ibuprofen for the pain and maybe someone knows a gas treatment that's gluten-free.

That totally sucks!!!!! Lots of water and rest. Advil? Oh my goodness, that happened to my mom when she was on her way to visit me. She felt miserable while she was here. I hope you feel better soon. I would have cried too.

They hopefully took your poison meal off the tab. Do drink plenty of water and I usually take Pepto Bismal liquid and asprin. Hopefully your reaction will be over soon. If you feel like sleeping do sleep and a hot bath or shower may help with the inflammation in your joints and muscles. I also find something like Tiger Balm or a heating pad to be helpful. So sorry this happened to you and I hope it passes quickly.

So sorry that you are sick! Very strong mint tea helps with the gas. It helps to get some of it out.

Feel better!!

Nope, dh said "maybe it's some kind of sensitivity to a weird preservative". Makes me so angry! It's a subject we just agree to disagree about. I try not to talk about it.

I cried last night and said "do you know what it's like to gi your whole life from dr to dr and have no one believe you?! Then you find something that makes you feel better and your own spouse makes it seem like it's in your head?!?"

And the baby has the worst red sandpaper rash all over his face. Ugh.

That's awful. I've been to restaurants before where they've sworn up and down they cooked my order gluten free, and I even ordered off the gluten free menu. Alas- I was running to the bathroom ten minutes later.

Sometimes you just wanna eat without panicking, or feeling really crappy the next day. =(

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.
