Russian Roulette....with Eating Out

Well I did it again. I was too lazy to cook for myself and decided to go through McDonald's drive through and order two double hamburgers minus the bun. I got home and ate them and with in 15-20 min I was sitting on the toilet mad at myself for ever going there.

Now, I get to look forward to the next two weeks of misery with random body pains, brain fog, weakness all because I wasn't strong enough to just cook something for myself.

Is there any thing that you guys know of that will help this pass sooner or make this easier to deal with? I already took an Ibuprofen because I know what is about to come. Thanks for your help, Ted.

Don't be too hard on yourself. With the speed of your reaction it may not have even been gluten it may have been your body didn't like the huge grease load you fed it. If that is the case, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it is, you should feel better tommorrow. It you are glutened and you wake to the brain fog etc. one thing I have found helpful is some sublingual B12, resting as much as I can and eating fairly bland food until I feel better.

You might want to consider keeping some safe gluten free snacks in your car or someplace readily available to help tide you over till you can get home and get something safe. I hope you feel better soon.

Yeah I usually take extra B12 too. I have tea and gluten-free chicken noodle soup. One of my reactions is ravenous hunger so I indulge that and eat as much as my body wants with safe foods. Lay around and nap if I need to also.

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
