Got Glutened

I just grabbed a bottle of Viacraves and popped two in my mouth.

Then looked to see the adult dose...yes two so I'm all good.

I popped two more because they tasted good and I figured the extra vitamins won't hurt me.

Quick scanned the ingredients to be sure I wasn't overdosing Zinc or iron but did this as I was Swallowing the second two.

Got to the bottom of the bottle and DARNED If It Don't Say Contains WHEAT clear as Day at the bottom.

WTF? How many mistakes can a person make in one minute?

I thought all gluten containing bottles were purged a long time ago.

I was wrong.

Actually don't feel sick yet, but I know it is coming and I'm dreading it.

What an idiot I am.

I haven't gotten glutened in months.

This isn't really a question....just a Whine.

Ugh. :(

I almost popped a couple of pretzels in my mouth last week without even thinking. They were just sitting there and looked good.

Someone once told me, also, that too many vitamins can actually have some negative effects (but I don't know if it's true / any other info about it.)

I did this with Twizzlers :o , bought them did not even think that they would contain wheat,took a big bite started to chew them and IT hit me. Spit it out and read the label, :ph34r:

As I remember wheat was the first or second ingredient.

I didn't get a migraine yet. I am very tired and had to nap, and feel sad and anxious. But I know that is just the reaction. If I get away without a migraine or D...I promise I will read before putting anything in my mouth ever again!

DH sores flaring and eyes swollen....god I hope it doesn't last long.

This just sucks...I was feeling really really good too.

Chicken and carrot soup for me.

If only I didn't have DH. When I activate the sores it takes for freaking ever to get healed again.

Anyway, thanks for your comments and support. It's nice to know I'm not the only Silly yak who makes silly mistakes.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?
