Wheat, to eat or not to eat?

2007-10-18T08:52:00.001-04:00

I feel like I need something. Like I haven't eaten in days and my body is starving.

I went to my aunts for dinner last night. We talked about my gulten intolerance two weeks ago when we were at my parents. I don't think she believes me. I politely in privacy asked if he sauce on the pork had flour in it. She said my uncle made it. I tried to ask him and his response was "there is cream cheese in it". Really helpful. I tried to eat as much as possible without getting sick, but I don't think it worked.

I REALLY REALLY don't want to go to work after I've been glutened. I just want to sleep all day long. But I was able to pull myself out of bed this morning. Tomorrow is another day.

I was for sure glutened at lunch today.

I heard Ben Than is a good place for celiacs, and I asked before we ordered if our choices were wheat-free.

We ordered
504 - fresh spring salad rolls
422 - deluxe pad thai
51 - taro bubble tea
53 - papaya bubble tea

She wrote - no MSG beside the food and the server confirmed it was no MSG when we brought it out. I believe I got it from the papaya bubble tea - as I am highly suspicious thier powdered flavouring has wheat in it. I perhaps could have been in the pad thai sauce, although this is unlikely. I am very frustrated as I heard they were good for helping, I obviously did not explain myself clearly.

extreme fatigue - flushed - nauseated - difficulty concentrating

This morning I mixed some cantelope with cottage cheese, I just had it for lunch and it tasted like barf. I feel sick now. probably not glutened.

I've survived my first thanksgiving. It wasn't easy. My fiance's family has a very wheat-based diet and I ending up having brussel sprouts, mushrooms and jello for dinner followed up with frozen raspberries and whip cream. however his aunt felt guilty that I couldn't eat any of the desserts and loaded me with so much whip cream I felt sick. I have a mild lactose intolerance, however I don't think this played a part, anyone would have gotten sick from that much whip cream.

Dinner at my parents was easy. I just skipped out on the stuffing. I took a chance with the gravy and I didn't experience any fatigue, a little gas but I don't think that was gluten related.

Saturday I attended a pumpkinfest and endulged in a caramel apple, which was delicious and caused no negative reactions.

I did have a plate of nachos that gave me a slight belly ache, but it passed within the hour.

I've had liverwurst with Blue Diamond rice crackers two days in a row now. There is no sign of gluten on the liverwurst but I am definitely bloated and nauseous after eating it.

Update: October 9th - on the weekend my dad bought me some Pillar's liverwurst. I can eat that shit to my hearts content. YUM!

lunch - summer sausage, probably not a good idea in the future but more tests should be done

dinner - ribs, had before
knor broth with mushrooms, egg and shrimp

20 min later stomach grumbling, bubbles below belly button
bloating, ,uncomfortable burbs

I am suspicious of one of the ingredients in the knor oxyl cube

Spinach Salad - poppyseed dressing and strawberries

Assorted Fruit and veggies

I have a little stomach ache, but I think I ate too much salad because it was so delicious.

2007-09-20T15:24:00.000-04:00

3:10 - Quaker Oatmeal, maple and brown sugar

3:25 - 'popping' sensation in my intestines, mild bloating and gas

Mentally seem alert and well.

4:00 slipping into depression and negative thoughts - has a slight run-in with a co-worker, but don't think it should effect my moods this seriously.

HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH

hours of sleep previous night 7.5

Lunch: salad with "Hidden Valley Ranch" Dressing

Groggy, glazed and fatigued

according to the forums it's been on the danger list even though there isn't any visible evidence of gluten....

Update: 4:20 - haven't eaten since the salad. There is some serious activity on my left side near my hip bone

Update: 9:30 - I checked in the fridge, it was actually "wishbone" which is gluten free.
