Glutening Nightmares

I keep having nightmares where I accidentally ate something really gluteny.

One time it was a donut, and when it was half gone I was like "OMG! WHAT on earth was I thinking?"

And then I wake up in a panic.

Another time it was someone at a party who shoved something in my face and said 'Try THIS' so I took a bite. Then I realized I didn't know what was in what I just ate...and woke up in a panic.

Anyone else having crazy paranoid dreams? I guess I'm really stressed over getting accidental gluten lately, since my last glutening was SOOOOO bad.

I've got some travel coming up too, and am probably going to sleep at night thinking about how I'll find safe food while I'm away.

I think it's kind of funny...the dreams. I just have to laugh at myself a little :)

I have had a few, but not many.

This has been a topic on here before, it definately happens to people.

Mine have been pizza mainly, but I did dream of a doughnut once too.

As far as traveling, I do lots of research before I go. I found out if they have restuarants there with gluten free menus like pf changs, chili's, etc.

I also find out where the natural food stores are and get addresses. I bring lots of dried snacks that are gluten free along like nut bars and rice cereal bars.

My vacation went great and we stayed in three different cities.

My fiance and his neice are the ones who actually have Celiac disease. Last week, the two of them challenged me to eat gluten free for a month. It's only been 74 hours and I've had glutening dreams for the past 2 nights. I had a sandwich the first night and beer the second. I guess it's just the mind's way of keeping you on track.

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
