Need Some Advice

I was glutened about 10 days ago.  The only thing that has stuck around for symptoms is the brain fog, it won't lift. Two days ago I tried eating raw carrots for the first time since my diagnosis, I had about a handful of the mini's.  I felt fine for about 5 hours and then I felt awful, stomach pain, the big D, nausea and  a headache - all from carrots. I didn't have any other new foods, and the foods that I had that day I have had before and not had a problem with them. My stomach was so sore yesterday I couldn't eat anything.

 

Now today I have the worst headache, my body hurts from head to toe - I can hardly walk. I don't even know how to explain the pain, it's more of a bone ache than anything. My only joints that hurt are my hips and that is new too, any joint pain I had before was more my upper body.  I have never felt this way before, it's totally new. I also had the vaginal itching come back full force, vaginal bleeding TMI sorry. I can't take anything more than Tylenol, allergic to everything but fentanyl.

 

I don't have much experience with glutenings it's only been two months since my diagnosis but the few that I have had I am sick within hours.  I know people have said that their symptoms of a glutening can change and get worse after you have been off gluten for a while.

 

I have a gluten free house, the only thing I haven't done is change my pots/pans/dishes. They were all relatively new, we just washed them well.  Anything scratched is gone.

 

I am just at a loss, I didn't eat anything yesterday, only had water ( out of a water bottle so I know the damn cats didn't lick it), and my pills( all of them called 800 numbers and asked the company if they were safe).

 

Has this happened to anyone else?

Did you say on another thread that you had some other illnesses? Maybe this is from them?

I was thinking the same thing, but I have never felt this way before.  If I didn't have two kids here right now and could drive, I would be on my way to the hospital. I just don't want to go and have them tell me I'm and idiot and somehow glutened myself.

This doesn't sound like a glutening from 10 days ago. Maybe you have caught something? If you feel like you should go to the hospital, you can call 911.

Today I don't have any nausea, no vomiting, no D, just the unbelievable pain. I am actually hungry. I didn't think it was a glutening either.  I am trying not to freak my kids out too much but they know momma doesn't feel right.  I had to go take a bath so I could cry. 

 

Thanks for the reply's Karen.

hormones will mess you up, every time.........  or, i can't eat those pre-peeled carrots (even cooked) maybe they rinse them in something :( i dunno, just my experience.  sometimes it's not a 'glutening' vs 'something i can't eat right now' - it takes a minute to know the difference.  i know the first year i was gluten-free i was always second guessing where i got glutened right around my period time (headache, general 'goo' guts, fatigue) but give it time and you'll know what's gluten and what's mother nature.  i hope you feel better :)

I somehow managed to make it through the night.  Not sure how, the pain was everywhere and traveling but it seems more like nerve pain that anything. And some of my bones ache.  One minute my back would hurt, then my foot, then my arm, my neck, my chest, my legs, then the fun of everywhere all at once.  It kind of came in cycles.  I called the clinic this morning to see if I could be seen by a staff doctor and not a resident but they didn't have any openings but I actually got in with my doctor tomorrow afternoon.  I just have to make it that long.  The nurse did stress to me that if I am in that much pain to go to the ER.  I told her I was concerned that when I go they treat me like a drug seeker and she told me if that happened to make a complaint.  She said she was going to put a note in my chart that I am not a drug seeker but have multiple health issues that cause me pain.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
