Got Glutened :(

For the first time since my diagnosis I got glutened. Trouble is that I can't seem to figure out what got me. I'm hoping you all can help me.

 

Yesterday I had a Think Thin bar for breakfast (I've been having those for months with no issues.)

 

For lunch I had a fruit salad made by me - canteloupe and honeydew melon.

 

I snacked on some Glutino Gluten free pretzels.

 

For dinner I had some Archer Farms gluten free pasta with Ragu Classic lite Alfredo sauce.

 

I've been having all of these things with no issues.

 

Then I had 3 Krinos Kalamata olives. All of my research indicated that these did not contain gluten - but it was the only new thing I added.

 

Have any of you eaten those olives and had any reaction?

 

Please let me know.

 

Thankfully the pepto bismol is working wonders on my stomach right now....

It is hard to pinpoint what the culprit is, but it seems that most of your meals include gluten-free processed foods or ones (such as the olives) which were prepared in an environment that might not be 100%. Each one of them on it's own might not cause a reaction, but add each of them to the other in single day and you might have exceeded 10-20 ppm of gluten in one day, which will cause a reaction. There was a page I saw once that talked about this. I don't remember the address but you can try to google it.

 

Try only one single new food that you have never tried before in every one to two days (to allow a margin big enough which will indicate what caused the reaction). That way you eliminate having to test them all yet another time, or depriving yourself from all of them completely.

Thanks for your reply. I wonder if the olives just put me over the top. I've never been super sensitive, and have had all of the other things with no issues. I'm just frustrated, but thanks for your response.

I'm sorry for not being helpful and that you're feeling bad. Hope you figure it out

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
