I accidently ate some wheat at Thanksgiving a week ago, and my body is still under attack from it.
It was really dumb – I looked at the ingredients of the Honey Nut Cheerios and saw just oats so I thought it would be okay so I ate two bowls. Within about an hour, I started feeling bad, like I was getting a cold, just kind of achy. I then read the ingredients list more carefully and saw that “wheat flour” was listed down below. Shoot.
All that day, I continued to feel like I was coming down with something. Just tired and achy. And driving from Salinas up to Healdsburg, my back hurt.
Then, more stupidity. My sister made some Mexican rice, which I assumed would be okay so I ate a lot of it. Then as I was finishing up, I looked more closely and say short, round strands of something. Inquiring about them, I found out it was pasta. Doh!
Interestingly, my hands didn’t hurt like they did the last time I ate wheat. This time it was mainly my back. Also, the gland under my right chin became very tender. And my other system was just feeling achy and bad, but I never had a fever, sore throat, running nose, or any other system that would suggest it was really a viral illness.
So I think this is further proof that I am at least slightly celiac, and when my body encounters wheat, it has an auto-immune response that floods my body with something that lodges in my muscles and joints and causes them to be sore and me to feel achy all over.
