When Glutened...

So yesterday, someone told me I was: senile, full of shi*, foolish, acting childish, and that it was "all in my head"...when I requested my hamburger be barbequed on tin-foil so to avoid the CC from the sauce. I've done it before, and it worked wonderfully. This person told me "the sauce is burnt off when you cook it anyhow!"...and I tried to explain to him the concept of cross-contamination, but he's too damn stubborn to even listen. He won't let me get a word in, so I can't say anything to him though believe me-I've tried.

Anyhow, said person did it after because I said to "said person" that I won't eat it otherwise, and there was company around. Said peron had already cause enough upset, and other people tried to explain to him why I wanted to do "such a thing".

"Said person" disregarded me afterwards, and somehow ended up getting gluten on my food --whatever it was, I don't know. Now I'm suffering the consequences.

My question, after this, is: what do you find works best for you recovering from a fresh glutening?

It makes me so sad and so mad when I hear stories like this on the board. Why would somebody treat a celiac like this? I'll never understand it.

L Glutamine powder helps some. Drink lots of water. Eat simply and clean. And wait it out. Feel better soon!

Lots of water, double up on probiotics for a week and rest.

Sorry you got "hit". :(

Even sorrier you had to deal with a dipstick who does not take you

seriously.

Thank you, both of you! I ask so many questions, but I always get the answers I need. I'm feeling better now, but will keep drinking lots of water and stuff. What about epsom salt? I read that epsom salt helps the gluten be removed from your body, or is that just foolishness? :P

Well, sweetie, just do not eat it. :P

But if you want to soak in an epsom salt bath, go for it.

It helps to relax muscles. That's it.

Try to relax. A "glutening" sucks (in plain English :rolleyes: ) but it passes, literally and figuratively.

You're going to be okay!

I have tried the l glutamine powder too it seems to help. Also, resting. Ginger pills. And/or Immodium. Sorry people are such jerks. :(

I always give my kids tylenol when we get glutenated. It seems to help, along with lots of water.

I've read 1% of people will get our diet, and we are to worship the ground they walk on.

There's a word for "said person": butt-****

Sorry for the vulgarity, but "said person" really is :-(

I used to think epsom salts were a posh fancy baking ingredient, and I often wondered why they were in the personal care section of shops.

Above poster, you're spot-on.

      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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Inconclusive results

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
