What Happens..?

Hi all,

I have been gluten-free for about 2 years now and am extremely careful with my food. I often have to travel for my job and so I bring a lot of my food with me (one suitcase is for my clothes, etc, the other for food). Anyway, I am currently staying at a 5* hotel in Manila (Philippines) and I'm pretty sure I was poisoned by gluten. I have never had a very serious reaction before but I have been feeling nauseous for about 3 days now.

I was wondering if you could tell me what happens when you are poisoned by gluten... I'm not sure if this is normal or if it is perhaps a reaction to being here in Manila (pollution or water?).... I've been here for about 3 months though and have not changed my habits at all which is why I think it may have been cross contamination...

Thanks for your help.

I can feel nauseous from gluten and I also can get fatigue, brain fog, GI symtoms, chicken pox like bumps on my skin, and stomach pain.

Have you eaten anything unusual? What do you think was contaminated? And you are right, you could be sick from the water, if you were drinking it.

Actually I have only been drinking bottled water... I am pretty sure it's gluten poisoning. I slept for 10 hrs today and I'm still exhausted.

Thank you

I'm guessing that you may be having a gluten reaction. When I accidently eat gluten, I will also sleep for hours and still be tired.

PS--I've been to Manila....loved the Philippines ! If you have been staying and eating in the hotel only, there is less chance for contamination from bacteria etc. However, I did get sick when I went to there from having to eat local food in one of the villages. I never drank or brushed with the regular water. But I stayed in a village...so it was risky. Has the hotel worked with you on the menu? Stick with plain meats cooked on clean surface, veggies and fruit. Hope you are feeling better!

      Muscle atrophy in legs

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Polymyositis is a rare autoimmune disease that makes your immune system attack your muscles. Any autoimmune disease is associated with low vitamin D.   Even as a kid I had weak legs.  Now I feel the burn just walking to the mailbox. A case-control study found that patients with polymyositis (PM) had higher lactate levels at rest and after exercise, indicating impaired muscle oxidative efficiency. The study also found that an aerobic training program reduced lactate levels and improved muscle performance.

      Micronutrient Inadequacies in the US Population "A US national survey, NHANES 2007-2010, which surveyed 16,444 individuals four years and older, reported a high prevalence of inadequacies for multiple micronutrients (see Table 1). Specifically, 94.3% of the US population do not meet the daily requirement for vitamin D, 88.5% for vitamin E, 52.2% for magnesium, 44.1% for calcium, 43.0% for vitamin A, and 38.9% for vitamin C. For the nutrients in which a requirement has not been set, 100% of the population had intakes lower than the AI for potassium, 91.7% for choline, and 66.9% for vitamin K. The prevalence of inadequacies was low for all of the B vitamins and several minerals, including copper, iron, phosphorus, selenium, sodium, and zinc (see Table 1). Moreover, more than 97% of the population had excessive intakes of sodium, defined as daily intakes greater than the age-specific UL" My Supplements: Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg  (Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels in the body decrease steadily with age, reaching 10–20% of young adult levels by age 70. DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that the body uses to create androgens and estrogens.) 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      The paleo diet is based on the idea that the human body evolved to consume a balanced ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, and that the modern diet is out of balance. A healthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is 1:1–4:1, while the modern diet is closer to 20:1–40:1. The paleo diet aims to restore this balance.

      Best thing you can do for them! First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease. Make sure you and they get enough vitamin D and iodine in their diet.   Iodine deficiency is a significant cause of mental developmental problems in children, including implications on reproductive functions and lowering of IQ levels in school-aged children. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population.
