hey there, im from sydney australia... im 18 years old and i was diagnosed about 6 weeks ago...

i was doing really well , wasnt gaining weight back, but felt pretty good overall...

but theres so much paranoia and anxiety hitting me because of some of my symptoms of the late...

this is gross , but i need to get it off my chest... im having a cereal that has HEAPS of muesli and oats and grains etc..

and when i have this cereal on certain days, my stool is different!!.... i can see HEAPS of parts of the cereal throughout my stool.... and some parts are dark and some parts are light coloured....

i know its so friggin disgusting!!! please dont discard my post cos of this ,trust me im hygenic as hell. !!!:)

but yeh , on other days when i have the cereal its normal...... is this a bad thing?? could it be that the cereal is no good for me cos it cant absorb the oats & muesli etc????

Dan--Personally, I would stay away from the oats. I dont trust oats, even though some doctors say we can have them. Oats made me ill before I knew anything about celiacs. I dont believe we can have them. Have you checked your cereal--does it contain barley malt? Barley doesnt normally cause a reaction in me, but it is still a gluten we MUST stay away from. I helped my daughter make some "Puppy Chow" a Christmas treat she loves and the cereal has barley in it. I did not eat any of it, but somehow I think I got some in me, I had a nasty tummyache yesterday afternoon--I havent had one in a long time. Just be careful of the cereals..ok. Deb

Hi Dan--Yea, I would not eat that cereal any more. Period. Like Deb, oats made me sick years before I had a DX. Not terribly, but enough to not want to eat them. You have not been DX for that long, and you have to be careful to eat simply so that your intestines have a chance to heal. For breakfast, you might choose fruit, rice bread toast, cream of rice, eggs, that kind of thing. Even a tiny amount of a gluten containing food will keep you from healing and actually cause further damage. If you need more ideas for foods, you can search here or you can PM me. As soon as you get all the gluten out, you will begin to heal--and it will get easier the longer you do it.

Dan-definitely nix the cereal. Know that is does take a while to recover and for your intestines to heal though, and you have only been on the diet for a short time. So, even if you are 100% gluten-free, you may still have 'odd' stools. PS--Take a deep breath and don't be anxious. Most people make mistakes initially, as the diet is pretty complicated...so be patient with yourself and ask for help and seek our resources when you need them--like books, a local support group etc.

Trust me we talk about everything on here so it's quite alright lol. Alot of oats are contaminated but besides that some even react to pure oats. I for one stay away from them. I recently had a problem with something labeled gluten free so ate it and then looked over it and it had oats...well I got sick. So stay away from that...it sounds like you were doing pretty well until that hit you.

If you need help with anything feel free to email me :)

Yep, I'm afraid you'll have to ditch the cereal. besides oats, check it for barley malt.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      Yes and variations in their sources for natural and artificial flavors could be the culprit as well.  I might be on the more sensitive side, but I do fine with McDonald's fries and burgers if I take the bun off, and other foods that have certified gluten free ingredients and only cross contamination risk preventing the gluten-free certification.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By Tanner L · Posted

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Bad Reaction To Regular Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream

      By trents · Posted

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?
