I have tried all my life to avoid drugs, yet look at my pic. I look like I just smoked a joint!!!! I am not kidding! I had a Celiac blood test and just to make sure that it would be positive I had a few (3) beef jerky sticks...all had wheat in them! I waited until I felt high until I went in and had the test. Don't know what you guys think of that practice, I just know that I am celiac and am sick of having drs say the test was normal your not (well I was 1 degree below not normal...problem?...that was a thyroid test, Later I learned that the thyroid gland shifts levels on a regular basis)...

So, in addition to having most of the symptoms, getting high most of my life off of milk and wheat. I also have epilepsy and am obese. Oh well, at least this high can't send me to jail!!! hahaha :wacko::wacko::rolleyes: I'll get off gluten after my biopsy and sleep better and not get high (as often? anybody get high on wheat/casin for the fun of it like marijuana?? can feel real good! but maybe I am crazy)

I've never had a reaction like this - unless the "high" you describe is like brain fog - that out-of-it, can't remember 12 to noon, what was I saying?, o.k. why did I come in here?, I'm-gonna-fall-asleeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... feeling?!

All I remember is horrible pain & the above mentioned crazy neurological symptoms.

Good luck to you in sorting it out!

Best,

Pondy

To me the highs are similar to a sugar rush with brain fog, dizziness and fatigue lol. Scatty brain time. That hits before the diarrhoea.

It's not very nice lol.

This was happening to me over the past few weeks too!! I kept feeling as if someone slipped in some alcohol into my water or something I literally felt DRUNK!! I could'nt walk straight and the wierdest part was I wasn't even that concerned about it, since I felt drunk emotionally as well i guess.. It was followed by a pretty good headache so I wonder if it' induces some sort of atypical migraine like reaction.. But it is WIERD and I'd much rather have a glass of wine (not that I"m going to even do that for a long long long time), but no more caisen for me from now on!! I also got the twiches and muscle spasms BAD for a few days.. still going on, but getting better.. I had been avoiding dairy, but not butter. There is a serious learning curve to all of this!

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
