Going Out Tonight!

hello, all!

after the stressful eating out experience on Wed and thesis-writing pressures, i could really use a night on the town. i was contemplating what i'd order at the bar, and i figured i'd stay with alcohols i know are ok for me (e.g. Bacardi, etc -- i'm not being too adventurous yet, like with distilled alchols). however, i started to wonder about the stuff they mix with the alchol -- for example that funky cranberry juice they have that can't really be cranberry juice, same for orange juice. should i avoid that? it comes out of a fountain or whatever you call it, so i'm not sure with all the noise in the club and the crowds and whatnot that i'd be able to verify the source...

good Lord, this disease is tedious!

Here are a couple of choices that are SAFE:

Capt. Morgans Rum and coke or pepsi

Seagrams 7, Seagrams VO and 7-up

I actually work at a bar and those cranberry and oj drinks have made me have some sort of reaction....also, be careful when eating out at a bar....they cook everything together , even if you ask them not too, i had to learn my lesson the hard way

thanks, mahee34 (is that your dog in the picture? -- so cute!!). i actually felt kind of slightly nauseated for most of Saturday after having gone out Friday. maybe i'm just being paranoid. but the only thing that might not have been ok was the "sprite"... i asked the bartender if they had sprite or 7-up, just to see, bc it comes out of the same sprayer? (sorry -- not up on my bar terminology!) as the fake oj/cranberry/coke/etc and i wasn't sure if it was even brand name. she said she thought it was Sprite. so i'm not sure about that whole deal... :unsure:

this disease is going to turn me into a hard liquor girl yet... ;)

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
