Never Been This Sick In My Whole Life.


Rusla

Recommended Posts

Rusla Enthusiast

I have literally never been this sick in my whole life. When I bought some chocolates at a company that I know the majority is gluten-free the qirl was new and gave me two that were wrong. Well one I had never had before and didn't know what it looked like. I just popped it in my mouth and started to chew.

Well, that chocolate, most of it came flying out of my mouth. It was a horrible jell and tasted like turkish delight that I not only hate but has gluten. Well I have not only spent 12 full hours in bed only to get out and run to the bathroom with the big "D" and I mean big "D" and vomiting. You all know the butt on the toilet head in the pail routine.

Finally, I have been able to leave the room and sit somewhere other than the toilet. Each time is worse than the times before and I never want to be this sick again and I hope no one else is ever this sick, it is horrible.

Oh Lord Rusla :o You are having quite a time of it. I'm so sorry to hear that, and over something that should be enjoyable too. I hope it doesn't turn you off chocolates for good, that would be a crime for sure. :(

Stay warm, keep some fluids in you and get as much rest as possible. I sure hope you don't have to work tomorrow!

Oh my gosh that's terrible! :(

What's the company?

We don't buy chocolate often, but once in a while we'll get some from Purdy's. (Callebaut's a bit pricey.)

I hope you feel better soon.

Rusla Enthusiast

Yes, Callebaut is very pricey their Gilbert line is not gluten-free. However, where I got the chocolate from was Purdy's. The ones they have that are not gluten-free were all the chocolates I hated in the past and those are marzipan and turkish delight. However any of theirs with vodka are not gluten-free. It was the turkish delight that she gave me by accident. I still don't feel special but at leas I have quit the "P & P" parade to the bathroom. I have a headache too from this. I have had flu's that never did this to me.

Rusla, I am so SORRY that you're that sick. You poor baby. All that because of chocolates that were supposed to be gluten-free.

I hope you're feeling much better VERY soon. Please take care of you. I need to e-mail you, as well . . . have some interesting news to tell you!! There -- that will keep you guessing for awhile!

Talk to you soon,

Love & Hugs to you,

Lynne

Sorry you are so sick! From your posts it seems like you are always very careful - it is rough when you are trying to be careful and you still get sick! Hope you are doing better soon.

Oh, Rusla, that's horrible. I'm sorry you're so sick. I know how careful you always are. It sucks when somebody else screws up and you get horribly ill from it. Hopefully this will be a short lived glutening and you'll be back to your fiesty old self in no time.

BTW, what's turkish delight? Is it anything like turkish paste? That should technically be gluten free. I haven't found a recipe for turkish paste that wasn't gluten free.

Gosh, how awful! I hope you feel better soon. Stupid gluten!

Rusla Enthusiast

Turkish delight is a some kind of jelly yuck covered in chocolate. I don't know if turkish paste is the same or not. Even as a kid I hated turkish delights because they were jelly and only had part of a one that made me feel ill then. I guess a good reason why I hated them. Anyway Purdy's says their turkish delights have gluten in them and unfortunately that is what I got.

Now the good thing is I have quit having to do the 12 foot sprints to the washroom, however back pain is still there and feeling weak and on and off queasy. I have had small versions of this when glutened but usually only one sprint or two to the bathroom with the big "D". This time was 10000 times worse than any other time.

I have noticed with even minor glutenings lately, I will get dizzy and feel like I am going to pass out along with the bathroom dance.

I am so very careful and diligent about being gluten-free because I have noticed the minor glutenings causing me more grief than usual. This was just a half of a small candy.

And our lame governments don't consider this a disability, I can only hope one of them ends up with this and finds out how disabling this is and puts it back on as a disability deduction. I have missed work today because of this very nasty episode, if it had carried on past 2100 hours yesterday, I was prepared by the middle of the night to call the paramedics.

Rusla- I'm so so so sorry. Yuck, yuck and double yuck!

How awful1 I hope you feel better soon and it never happens again! It's exactly the same as food poisoning to the rest of the population, isn't it? I guess that would make sense--your body knew it was poisoned and did everything it could to get that toxin OUT.

I'm actually wondering--any chance that whatever you ate 5-12 hours BEFORE the candy might have been carrying some kind of toxin as well? Lately, things like green onions and spinach seem to be carrying little nasties with them...

Rusla Enthusiast

I ate nothing different than normal. But because my reaction came from the candy about 12 hours later that was my reaction to it, I know that is the only thing it could be.

And believe me everything that came up was chocolate. Essentially as you said that when we get glutened it is like food poisoning because we are literally being poisoned by food. I also had my nasty bowel pains and the gurgling with this that usually accompanies a glutening.

Rusla Enthusiast

Well after and in depth conversation with Purdy's they guaranteed me that none of the chocolates I had contained no wheat or gluten. We figured with the one chocolate that I might have got a chocolate that was the last in the bunch and got too much syrup in it which may have caused a bit of a problem. However, it could have been the flu also. Although i have DH on my head so, somewhere gluten played a part. I am still weak and my ribs really hurt, all that vomiting didn't help.

I hope you feel better soon. No matter what they say about the chocolates, you better avoid them from now on.

      There is also something called "seronegative celiac disease" in which there is damage to the villous lining of the small bowel but no celiac antibodies are produced by the immune system. It's not very common and there can be numerous causes including infections, some medications and even some nongluten foods.  If you have dermatitis herpetiformis, that is proof positive you have celiac disease since there is no other known cause for it. If you get it biopsied during an outbreak it can be used to establish a diagnosis of celiac disease, therefore. But not every dermatologist knows how to biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis correctly and it can be difficult to get an appointment with one on short notice.

      Ty very helpful I’m in the process of getting in with a new gI doctor and will ask more about all that then and yes the rash is exactly like that. I have a half cousin with celiac but that’s it in my whole family and idk if that matters as I see it is hereditary and others say the the only in the family with it. Either way this was very much appreciated ty again.

      My first post includes the blood test report done by the second doctor.  They told me to take two Naproxen tablets per day.  Absolutely worthless but I'm doing it.  I get to visit the doctor again in two weeks.  These doctors are worthless.  I had to clue them in to the fact that they used to treat me for fibromyalgia 15 years ago with vicodin until some political stooge had it removed from the market.  Then I found out about my grandchild with celiac so I removed gluten from my diet and got better.  (I had hashimoto's then and still do).  They don't read my medical record, or they don't comprehend it.  Either case they're worthless turds with no answers that are helpful.
