I'm On My Way To Hospital.

Well, I'm having another one of these episodes that I've been having. I'm at work. My daughter is going to come and pick me up and take me on over there now. I don't know what is causing this, but it's time to find out.

I feel like I'm going to faint away. I got up, ate everything I'm supposed to eat, was feeling fine, ate a chicken breast with sweet baby ray's bbq sauce and crashed.

I need to go there and stop screwing around with this, so here I go.

Karen G., please look in your personal messages.

Connie I hope your feeling better soon. Could you maybe try going with less processed food for a bit? That might help. There may be something in the BBQ sauce that your body isn't tolerating right now. I know a chicken breast with just salt and maybe pepper or a couple fresh herbs rubbed might be a bit boring but sometimes at first bland and boring is what we need.

Keep us posted on how your doing.

Praying there is a good doctor at the hospital for you to see.

Chicken breasts could be injected with broth that could contain gluten.

Good luck, Connie, and I'm sure you'll be able to get to the bottom of this. It doesn't sound gluten related at all and more like a blood sugar problem. I had those big time when undiagnosed and then after, until I healed a bit. Keep us posted on your progress and feel better soon!

I feel like I'm going to faint away. I got up, ate everything I'm supposed to eat, was feeling fine, ate a chicken breast with sweet baby ray's bbq sauce and crashed.

A friend made us "gluten-free" pulled pork with Sweet Baby Ray's, but I was suspicious, so I faked like I ate it. (Some of us celiacs have to make sure something is safe before it passes our lips.) The next day, when I was in the store I read the labels of a couple of the different flavors of Sweet Baby Ray's, seeing there were ingredients I recognized as gluten-laden, I gave myself a little pat on the back and noted to myself not to trust whatever that friend makes for us again. And she says she's gluten-free too! (Just not a serious celiac like me.) Celiacs really can't mess around with processed foods. Learn to make your own sauce, and if your recipe calls for catsup or another substance that might have gluten, don't use that recipe.

I absolutely can't eat chicken breast. It gives me a big stomach ache. Another friend (serious celiac) pointed to something found in the white meat that is not in the dark meat, so I eat chicken legs and thighs mostly, but can handle wings and backs too.

Sweet Baby Rays is indeed gluten-free. There may be ingredients in there that don't agree with everyone but that would be a separate issue.

Hope Connie is doing ok....

im new to this.... what happens that we could have to go to the hospital? and what can they actually do for us there?

I went to a party where they had strange food from africa and i ate everything they claimed was gluten free but got sicker than I have ever been since bein diagnosed so wife took me to hospital. pretty much just fell apart like she described, all at once.

I hope you feel better, let us know what the doctors say.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing? Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement? The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1. Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating. Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue...

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Gluten-Free Ramen: A Comforting Bowl of Japanese Tradition

      Definitely, I have ramen regularly as Costco sells an excellent brown rice & buckwheat gluten-free ramen (just the noodles--they also sell a GF chicken soup stock in jars that works well to make ramen).

      Testing

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out...

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.
