Unidentified Food Problem?

Ok, something is still upsetting my stomach, I have had such a time getting my stomach straight. :( I'm still learning what I can and can't eat, but I can't identify what i could have eaten today that is bothering me. So here's what I ate and maybe someone will see something I shouldn't have eaten..... (i'm not sure I am more than just GI, I don't have the full celiac disease symptoms, but have had the IBS sym. for years)

ok Breakfast was: 1 fried egg, bacon, gluten-free toast (Energ tapicoa bread), no sugar strawberry jelly, 1 hashbrown, low sugar fruit punch, felt fine (other than grouchy from hormones!)

lunch: baked ham, canned black eye peas, fresh tomato, onion, diet dr. pepper,

got the stomach ache after this.... then I ate to pamela's cc cookies (yes, with an already upset stomach). AND my left side is hurting.

What does the packaging on the bacon, the jam, the hashbrowns, the fruit punch, the baked ham and the peas say about ingredients? any natural flavors hiding in any of those that could be the problem? and other suspicious ingredients?

Dear Lesliew,

You didn't say how long you have been on the diet, but I have been on

for almost 8 mos and my stomach could not tolerate what you have

listed. First of all I start breakfast with soluble fiber such as bananas,

applesauce and herb tea(gluten-free). I try to stay away from most fried foods

because I have been sick for a long time and my stomach and yours

need time to heal. In the beginning I had to stay away from tomatoes

and onions. After 6 mos. I slowly am introducing them back into my diet.

I know rice,chicken, applesauce, potatoes and mild veggies are very

boring but you have to stick to the very basics until you heal. I would also

suggest that you cook most veggies and fruit before eating them. In the begining

stay away from fruit drinks and sodas, try substituting water or herbal and

green tea without caffeine. The pain will gradually get better and one day

you will wake up pain-free and you will understand how to stay that way.

When that day comes, you will be able to introduce your favorite foods.

Tonight I had spaghetti (rice pasta) and meatballs which I haven't had

for 2 years. This diet does work, just stick to the basics... Hope you feel

better soon....

I figured out that yesterday's stomach ache was due to aspirin in Excedrine Migraine. But, my stomach hurt today after eating a grilled chicken salad. I'm guess it was something in the ranch dressing or maybe cheese? i need to add, that at this point I think I am only gluten intolerant, not celiac, but I guess you never know for sure unless you have the test....

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
