Hate Letter To Gluten

Dear Gluten, Wheat, Barley, etc.,

I.Hate.You. You have made my life pretty miserable. You ruined so many things for me. Why are you so offal to my stomach? You make it hurt like no other-you give me unbarable stomach issues. You disabled my body from absorbing any nutrients, you dirty rotten scum. Thanks for making me so sick all those years. You take away my focus and my ability to really listen, you took away my ability to really do my best in school. And aside from all of this, which REALLY makes me hate you-is the fact that you hurt my personality. You made me stuck in a "fog." I couldn't laugh, or be crazy, or have fun, because you forced me to be stuck in a foggy state of mind. Your the ultimate fun-sucker. You made me angry and anxious. You caused me to have very little pacients, to be very quick-tempered, to be jumpy and annoyed. You made me ask what was wrong with me, when really, it was you all along. And for this reason, I hate your guts(and dont forget you destroyed mine). I'm SO glad i learned to stay away from you. I'm SO glad I live without you now. I'm completely better without you; I'm a different person without you! So stay away from me-forever. I'll never, ever miss who I was when I was around you. Because I truely HATE YOU!

:) I just had to get that out.

Feel better?

If only we could go to the police and get a restraining order. Can see it now:

Me: I need a restraining order. He beat up my gut & gave me brain damage. As a result, I have intestinal damage & malnourishment & pain.

Officer: Your husband/ boy friend sounds like a real winner. Let's get started on the paperwork. His name?

Me: Gluten aka wheat, rye and barley. Occasionally, know as oats.

Officer: :huh: or :angry: or :unsure:

I think I'm angrier with gluten for sneaking into so many places where it doesn't belong. Like soy sauce. But then again, I haven't healed my guts yet.

Actually, there sort of is... The top right corner of a post is a plus & a minus button. These give you a " reputation". Don' t use the minus unless the poster is bad. I'll "plus" you so you can see.

      I've never had problems with quinoa but I always rinse it well before cooking in case it's processed with other grains. I think quinoa is classified as a seed. I can't eat grains at all but I can eat all seeds. Ain't the human body a pandora's box of surprises???

      Hi knitty kitty, Scott and all, Thanks for kind words and asking!I will def. talk about histamine intolerance  on my next visit to gastro doc. My doc.gastro says that lactose or casein is very unlikely to create marsh 3b histology like gluten in adults in intestines. (that was previous question for Scott) Regarding my last EGD the villy was OK so refractory is out of the question based on my talk with dr. If Scott is right and there are so many intolerance in food for celiac what is left to eat?? And now histamine? I mean what should i eat? Maybe gastritis is doing all this trouble? Thanks Kind regard

      @Richardo, I'm in the same boat as you! I can't handle certified gluten free oats at all. Quinoa is the worst, even when I soak it in water and then wash under the tap for 10 minutes ... I have a reaction. It must be an immune system reaction to the proteins in these gluten-free grains.

      We are all different and our immune systems are unique. I will say, however, that I have not gotten the impression as a moderator and reading hundreds and hundreds of posts on this forum over the years that a dermatitis herpetiformis outbreak caused by grains other than wheat, barley and rye is common. But perhaps it is more common than we have realized and it could be why it it is seems to be common that those who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis struggle to keep it under control. Perhaps there are qualities found in all cereal grains besides gluten that are contributing factors. Also, have you tried a low iodine diet to see if it helps with your dermatitis herpetiformis? Reportedly, reducing iodine helps some folks afflicted with dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Ok thanks Trents. I had the lesions biopsied and confirmed dermatitis herpetiformis, so I guess dermatitis herpetiformis can be associated with other grains not typically gluten. I appreciate your comment and I'll give Dr Osborne the benefit of the doubt because without him I would never have known of my grain intolerance and would still be suffering today. I simply never read anyone explain how grains could worsen dermatitis herpetiformis and I feel that information should be made much more readily available. Hey if someone tries going grain free and there's no improvement, no loss, however it drastically changed my life for the better and could at least be offered as a suggestion to sufferers from dermatitis herpetiformis. The other option is Dapsome and I wouldn't want anyone taking that chemical if there was a more natural solution. thanks again
