Severe Glutening Or Antifungal Reaction.

I was taking antifungals and may have overdone them so quit taking them. I have been on a pretty high dose before and never had the same symptoms so I think I may have gotten a severe glutening. I haven't been this sick in such a long time.

Had two days of severe D which has tapered off but food is still passing through me pretty unprocessed. Had headaches before this and they are still a problem. Had severe anxiety and depression the two days of the severe D which has gotten better but not completely gone. I'm having a lot of different symptoms on different days.

My sleep was never the greatest but it is worse again. One night I got two hours of sleep, one night I got more but woke up two or three times to urinate. Last night, I didn't get to sleep until around 3 a.m. and woke up with a gluten dream. I must have just fallen asleep and didn't get back to sleep after that. Last night, I had urinary pressure the whole night, too. I got up at least every hour to use the bathroom and as soon as I went back to bed, I felt the pressure to go again.

Antifungal die off symptoms normally lasted only two days and accidental glutening normally lasted 24 hours. I started suffering over a week ago and am feeling paranoid about the symptoms dragging on.

I lost five pounds and have no appetite. Of course, I am tired and have not energy or interest in doing anything because of the lack of sleep.

I need advise and encourage.

What kind of antifungals were you taking? Did you get them from a doctor? If you did call the doctor and tell them what is going on.

For me that sounds like a gluten reaction but everyone is different. Eat very blandly right now and if stuff doesn't calm down really soon you may want to get a stool test done to make sure that you haven't picked up food poisoning somehow. Usually our gluten reactions have a pattern and since this isn't following your regular pattern it should be checked out to be on the safe side.

I didn't get the antifungals from my doctor. He advised me to try garlic for candida and that did nothing. The rest I did on my own but he was aware I was trying different things. I took Candex for three months. After that I switched to grapefruit seed extract. Then I switched to oil of oregano. After that, I used a caprylic acid blend and added olive leaf extract part way through that. All of them I used 3-4 weeks. I never felt like this from die off. Two days of symptoms was it.

My headaches started getting worse and my saliva test looked worse so I started in again with antifungals. I used the caprylic acid blend for about 10 days, oil of oregano the next three days and olive leaf extract the next day. I then quit them all.

I'm really running scared here. My symptoms are similar to when I was so sick. I went to my exercise class this morning which wasn't very intense and I got a severe cramp that stuck out in my midriff. I was in excruciating pain and had to leave the room and rub it for quite a while for it to settle down.

My days are miserable but what I really dread is going to bed at night because all I do is toss and turn and get up so often to use the bathroom because of the urinary pressure. I don't know how many more nights of this I can take. The memory of worst five years of my life has come back and I hoped to never get to that low again.

I did go to a very bland diet with no dairy, soy, corn or nightshades. I ate some eggs last night and wonder if that made me worse so I am cutting htem out, too.

ravenwoodglass,

It looks like I will be contacting a doctor tomorrow as the urinary pressure is getting worse. I have some itching now and need to use the bathroom about twice an hour. I'll see about getting both a stool test and a urine test. I wouldn't be surprised if I got a UTI from the bacteria in the D.

I know my DO won't be able to see me but I'll see if he will order the tests. If not, I'll make an appointment locally to see a doctor even though I really don't find them understanding of the whole gluten thing. It will be a challenge getting gluten free medication. I'm also concerned about antibiotics creating more candida problems.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around. The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me. Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
