Ultra Fiber Dx, Is This Gluten Free?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows if ultra fiber dx by barn dad is gluten free?  I  bought some day before yesterday and I added it to my morning smoothie yesterday and by the afternoon, I had a terrible migraine.  I have not yet been to the dr about my suspicions of having a gluten intolerance, but I have been gluten free for a month now and have had absolutely no migraines until I took this fiber supplement.  On the back of the bottle, it does say it has oat fiber, but in bold print it says "contains soy", so I figured since it did not say wheat or processed near wheat, that it was gluten-free, I even asked the clerk and he agreed.  I have been trying to find it online and haven't had much success, I did, however, email the company, I haven't heard back yet and I am impatient.  Just curious if anyone here knows.  thanks

Oats are problematic because of contamination with wheat. This starts in the fields, where they are rotated with wheat, and continues through the harvesting equipment and mills. Specially grown and processed pure oats are available, but at a considerably higher cost. Only specialty manufacturers of gluten-free products use them, and they will be labeled clearly as "pure oats" or something similar.

 

In addition, a number of celiacs react to pure oats.

I thought it might be the oats.  I talked to my chiropractor today, he's been gluten-free for 15 years.  He didn't seem to think it was the oats, he thought it was the soy, but I have eaten soy in the last month and have not had issues, so I think it's the oats as well.  thanks for your input, I appreciate it!  :)

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
