Never again. A few bites of goodies - which did taste good - simply aren't worth the pain.
And the latte after dinner didn't help my blood sugar any. It was - for me - frighteningly high.
I'm back on the wheat-free sugar-free low-carb wagon. I wrote down how bad I feel so I won't be tempted again.

Yes!!!!! I'm the same, I've had an occasion when I'd inadvertently eaten wheat and during the night, horrible leg cramps and in the morning, I was hobbling around, barely able to walk down the stairs cos my joints were so tight and painful. I also had a migraine - something else that become a dim and distant memory.
The interesting thing is that until these symptoms appeared, I hadnt realised I'd eaten wheat, so it wasnt psychosomatic. I checked the menu from the previous night and there it was WHEAT!
