Now Know What Glutened Feels Like

Hey all:

I have been (as best able) to be gluten free for about 4 weeks. WAS feeling better and stronger.

I added a new Revlon Lipstick, Progresso Cream of Mushroom Soup and a Chicken Salad tray at our local grill (which may have come out of a large pre-prepared jug).

Does anyone know of any "kooties" in the Lipstick, or Progresso Soup.

I made a crabmeat casserole with the soup, everything else was natural and used Hellmans Mayo.

I feel so weak, exausted, my eyelids feel like they have weights on them and I stare at the dishes in the sink, like they are going to jump into the dishwasher. I also have some dia.... and feel sharp (pin-like) pains in my small intestines, most likely from inflamation.

Is this was what "getting glutened" is like???? I recieved a B-12 injection today and will have more once a week for a month. Hope that that will bring my energy level back.

Thank goodness that I am able to stay at home and not have a full-time job. I just don't know how some of you do it.

Would welcome any inpute.

PS - Hurricane Ophelia was good to us. Not so good to those south of us.

Hi Lisa!

I am glad you "weathered the storm", so to speak....... and Ophelia was kind to you...... I hope the people south of you will recover quickly.

Yep, sounds like a gluten attack to me...... Just have to let it run its course......

Hugs.

I know for sure the soup was okay, I was so happy to find that out, so is thier split pea with ham and a few others, they mark the labels very well and I have never noticed any crosscontamination issues with Progresso soups. I would suspect the lipstick or the Chicken salad tray. Call the company about the lipstick or do a search under products. I would not touch a deli prepared anything, too much risk of cross-contamination and who knows what could have been in the jugged mix. It sounds like you got 'got' good, time will heal, hope you feel better soon. We all, I think, learn the hard way to call about everything till companies get smart and start labeling clearly.

You said that you made crab casserole, did you use real crab meat or did you use fake crab? The fake crab and lobster usually contains wheat (at least all the ones I've looked at....)

Totally pure, handed picked crab from the beach ....(maybe the hand-picked?)

But most likely the chicked salad from the grill.

Saw on a gluten-free site that all Almay and Revlon lipsticks are gluten-free.

This is the pitts, I feel like I have "mono", like I had in college.

Thanks for the input....

Lisa -

I had a lot of problems with grilled food, too. I only eat off my own grill now, and that was only after I completely cleaned the grates.

Must be glutened, I can't even find the right keys to type a post.

Please excuse all the errors in typing my previous posts. Hands and brain are not on the same road.

Hey, someone tell celiac3270 that I finally found the search on the site, so I can not post redundent questions...( I'm so proud of myself that I can't stand it!!)...I'd put on one of those smiley faces.........but still working on that...as said before, "old dog, new tricks".. If you'll bare with me, I'll hang in there with YA'LL...

Thanks Karen, you always seem to be there for me, (as well as others)

Hope this will pass soon.

Lisa,

I hope you are feeling better real soon, I know for me it not only affects me physically when I get glutened, but also emotionally. I become what I can only describe as a cross between an emotional wreck :unsure: and an explosive monster!!! :angry:

The grill had to be contaminated. That's where I would put my money...... <_<

Also, as for always being there for you, hey, what are fellow celiacs for??? ;) Just think, sometime down the road you are going to be a pro at this and you will be the one supporting and encouraging the newbies!!! (You will be an absolute computer pro by then!!! ;) )

Hugs.

Sorry you're not feeling well. I got glutened the other day from the McDonald's Grilled Chicken Caesar. It didn't dawn on me that picking out the croutons would contaminate me. :huh: One of these days I'll get this gluten-free diet down.

Be careful about drinks too. I unknowingly glutened myself with Tropicana Lemonade (2-litre) and IBC Black Cherry soda.

I'm amazed at how easily I gluten myself. You don't think about it being in drinks or cosmetics or that's not bread based. (At least I didn't.)

I'd be suspicious of the chiken itself as well. I once got glutened from chicken soup. I was so careful about the stock I used and the spices but still got terribly sick. I've heard that some companies inject their meat with a solution of "stuff" to plump it up and add weight. I think this is what did it to me. I know perdue is gluten-free but I don't think this was perdue. Anyway, that might be the case with your chicken salad.

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you get better soon.

      I agree with @trents that the IgA you listed sounds like a total IgA, not celiac-specific, if 114 is normal. Were any other antibody tests run?

      New Study Reveals Age and Racial Gaps in Pediatric Celiac Testing

It's the only parameter that the affected individual or their family members have control over. We need to learn to become "politely pushy" in order to get proper testing done when...

      Positive biopsy

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results.

Based on clinical history, test results and possible genetic testing for susceptibility to coeliac disease it should be possible to give a diagnosis.

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Actually, it would be more correct to say that the genetic potential to develop celiac disease is passed down from parents to children. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!
