Bad Morning

I was feeling so good all week being off of gluten and dairy, so good I was so excited to get on a regular routine and actually go to work and not be late because I had to stop at every.single.bathroom. on the way. This morning was terrible, I was so sick, I had a panic attack and terrible anxiety all day. Last night I ate taco salad, with ortega seasoning, has anyone had trouble with ortega products? I dont know if it was the Ortega, but its the only thing I can think of, either that or all these issues have caused my anxiety to hit the roof everytime I leave my house, and I need to get my anxiety in order.

I had ortega twice before a while back.I don't think I had any problem with it.

I'm not saying you didn't have trouble with the Ortega (although I haven't) but anxiety over all this can definitely be a problem. On occasion it's kept me from going places or doing things.

Welcome, Alicia! I don't know if I've used Ortega or not but if you're newly diagnosed, perhaps the spices are just too much for you until you heal more. Our bodies can be pretty wonky at first.

I know there are recipes for making your own taco seasoning and I've been tempted to try it and know exactly what's in it (probably a lot cheaper, too).

What else was in the salad? Did you make every part of it? Did you cook meat in a pan that might have had gluten in it? Did you cut veggies on a board that had been used for bread (ever)?

There are so many sources of contamination that you have to think through every step before assuming it must be some spice or some product.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
