I Hate Getting Glutened At Night

I don't know what did it this time. Probably cross contamination. My husband made dinner tonight (yum!), but I'm pretty sure he had contaminated hands before he started because when I went out to the garage I noticed a McD's bag in his car. He has a long commute... I was suspecting I got glutened earlier, especially after seeing the McD's bag, but until I tried to go to bed and get some sleep, I wasn't sure. Sure enough, racing thoughts, buzzing brain, obsessing about relatively minor occurances. Like, one time I accidentally discovered that didn't have the money to leave a tip and didn't apologize. I've been obsessing/beating myself up about that for over an hour. Before that it was that my daughter (who had a fever today) is going to miss school next week, but I have doctor appts, so what am I going to do and who can I find to babysit. On Monday. Four days from now. When she'll logically be over whatever random virus she has right now. :rolleyes:

I'm SOOOOOO glad this doesn't happen every night anymore. And it used to. I don't know how I got through that for all those years. To think that I used to think that that was ME... Knowing now that it's the gluten that does that... It just really creeps me out.

Gluten is messed up. And why does it have to stick to everything???

Wow! You really sound like you get the neurological thing going bad! I had chronic,life-long depression before I went gluten-free. Thank God for psychotrophic drugs(in my case Prozac) until I figured out what was wrong!

I use catmint(sedative)/meditation/self-help books with positive reinforcement and hope for the best. My syptoms are more physical but I do tend to get uptight/obsessive about stuff too if I don't watch it and remind myself it's a symptom of a reaction. Also, I noticed that regular exercize helps me with everything including getting sick/glutened and managing my symptoms. You might also want to see if there is something your Dr. can do for you on these occassions. Sounds very intense.PJ

Not sure if your response is directed at me or Nantzie, if me - I am getting better- honestly even my longsuffering boys have said so.

When I have been glutened I get a restless night. I used to stress out about everything when I was a teenager trying to sleep. But that has improved a lot over the years. I was a worrier, I still am.

But now being gluten free for 8 months, I have a very disturbed sleep, when glutened, tossing and turning. The other morning I wrote in my food diary "Dark shades in my sleep" Idon't think that meant I had my sunnies on! I had a cough that night too, I don't know if that is related, as I seem to get a bit congested in the nose as well when I have gluten, and at times when I don't. The telling thing for me, is that I will trip over my speech the next day. Forever say the wrong word for what I mean, but tripping over words is quite exasperating.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By cristiana · Posted

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Some people test negative but have a positive biopsy, others test positive but negative biopsy.  This is why it can take years and misdiagnosis of other diseases that Celiac Disease can mimic. The above link is a good read with real life examples. Something I find interesting is that in 1980 or so a new diagnosis was created, Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, only 10 years after Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize for creating our modern wheat and the Green Revolution.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)
