Gluten "Poisoning"

So, I had been feeling pretty good, almost back to my "old self."

I had been on my feet, getting rested, doing things around the house and was able to start cooking again. Not to mention going to a movie with my girlfriends, and going shopping!

I seem to have reset my progress. Alas, it does happen, the inevitable "accidental glutenning." Blast this celiac disease! Here are those pesky problems again - elevated heartrate and blood pressure, fatigue, tingling in the hands and feet, and an ever so slight, barely there, brain fog... Horrible after having felt so darn good again! Gluten "poisoning" as I've dubbed it.

So, for now, I rely on the mister doing most everything for the next few days again. My "feel better" strategy is bed rest, and plenty of water and gluten free foods in small quantities. I can only hope that I bounce back quickly!

Everyone's symptoms are different, some more extreme than others, what are your symptoms or side effects of eating gluten? What do you do to help yourself feel better?

For now, here's a picture of me being sad and sulky in my comfy sweater.
