Sick And Miserable

Woke up this morning and felt a bit off - stuffy, achey, just off...

Shook it off, then around noon a crashing headache and earache....just wanted a nap.

A few hours later looked like my temp was rising-took Tylenol.

I've been in bed since tring to sleep...no more fever bit I just can't sleep, muscles ache a bit, brain doesn't work.

I swear I can't sleep because I can't stop wondering if it's a bug or if it's gluten!!!! Argh!!! Why can't I just be "sick", without wondering why??? I just want to switch my brain off!!!!

Ok, I'll stop whining now.

I had a bad day yesterday (and today and probably going to be few days to get it out of my system).

Drink lots of water.

It will pass (water or cc etc).

And remember how it feels to be good.

Keep posting....

Sorry you're under the weather. I hope it is not gluten....seems like everything else passes faster. Take care of yourself!

Does sound like a bug. Hope you feel better soon.

With those symptoms it's hard to tell isn't it? You never know if you got a little dose of gluten from an ATM, door handle, handling money, mail, etc. I guess we'll always wonder when something gets us and we know we've been careful?

Drink lots of water to flush out whatever it is..and wishing you a speedy recovery!

it's terrifyting to get get sick after getting better. I had what turned out to be a virus mid-October and I absolutely freaked out...thinking that I was headed back to where I'd been before eliminating gluten. It really messes with the mind.

Hopefully rest and time will put you back on track.

Thanks forcyge responses. Still no more fever that I can tell...

Still feel miserable. Stomach works. I can eat. My muscles ache and I'm just not quite right.

Unfortunately I worked out yesterday with crunches, weights and it's really hard to tell if I hurt from that or a bug. Sad but true. Ok, muscles I didn't work hurt too, and my sinuses and ears were truly miserable....i guess that wasn't from weights!

Yeah, it's frustrating not knowing for sure if it's gluten or not. I got really sick a couple of months ago and ended up in the ER. The doc said it was food poisoning, but I'm not so sure. I just kept wondering if it was gluten related. I guess it's all part of my gluten paranoia :rolleyes:

For me the best indicator is what I ate. The other day I used a pan that i thought could have been contimated and sure enough I was horrible for part of the day. Once the D passed i was ok.

Also, I never throw up if its gluten. I want to, but vomitting is also a sure sign for me thats its something more serious.

Try keeping track of your symptoms when you suspect gluten.

Put a log together and compare. It will take time but eventually you will learn to put 2 and 2 together.

A fever sounds like a bug to me. Plus the way you are feeling so achy. I know gluten can make some people achy, but couples with fever, it's probably a virus. There's some going around now. We are getting over a virus that started out with nausea and a little bit of V, then moved into a stuffy nose and chest congestion like 5 days later. My kids got it too. The ped said it's a weird virus going around that acts a little different than you regular stomach bug or cold.

I feel better tonight.

I do think it was/is a bug or possibly a weird reaction to the drastic weather change (barometric). It was like a migraine crossed with sinus pain crossed with bad earaches. With some muscle aches, tiredness and a touch of elevated temp. Weird.

I'm still a little off but the more I move around the better I feel.

No red blotches (DH) or racing heart, swelling hands, or rock in stomach....so I'll assume it wasn't gluten. Then again, who knows..,

I've been under the weather for a week now. Started out as a head cold and now is going down into my chest. My chest and back hurt from coughing. My stomach feels great, with only a little upset from the post nasal drip. Weird thing is both of my kids have been complaing this week from stomach pains. The oldest one has been the worse with bad cramping and gas. I don't think they got into anything at home because I would be the first to know. I'm beginning to suspect the childrens allegra. Oldest boy had more than the youngest. I called the company and they said all tablets are gluten free. So I took that to avoid the liquid, but the childrens are chewable so technically not a "pill." I don't know if that could be it or they are getting sick. It really is hard to tell sometimes. BTW, anyone know about the allegra? I did quit giving it to them.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
