Anyone have any issues with this? I didn't pre-gluten free, I could eat loads of them with no trouble. Fast forward to yesterday, I had some broccoli in my lunch, then at dinner had a roast, some cauliflower and some wine, and this morning I feel like hell. Is this just an isolated me thing, or do others have issues with broccoli and cauliflower too?

I was bloated quite a bit by cauliflower right after I went gluten free. I had a whole bunch of it and it put me in the ER with what I thought were really bad chest pains at the time. I can tolerate it a little bit better now. I eat broccoli like it's going out of style. We're all different. It might be something other than the B & C also. I had a glass of wine a few weeks ago and got really bad cramps. Who knows? It's all trial and elimination as there are so many variables.

 

Good luck finding your answer.

Josh....those 2 veggies are gas producers and many people, with and without Celiac Disease, have trouble with them. When you go gluten-free and clean your system out of the food your body is reacting to, it really becomes noticeable.  I never had a problem with any veggie, pre-gluten-free, but now certain veggies, if I eat too many of them, produce some bloating and gas.  It's totally normal.  Has nothing to do with gluten or anything other than the fact that veggies can be harder to digest or contain some sugars that, when broken down, give you some grief.  Try taking Beano before eating them if they bother you.

They are really good for you so don't cut them out unless you are really uncomfortable.

I eat broccoli and califlower pretty much daily - raw in salads and cooked in stir-fry - but I always take a Bean-Zyme (gluten-free version of Beano) before hand.  If I forget, they will give me a fair amount of gas.  But I didn't notice any difference between pre- and post- gluten-free consumption.  You could be reacting to the wine.  I have found that since going gluten-free alcohol hits me much faster than it ever used to.

Beano says on the label that it may contain wheat.  I switched to Bean Zyme, which is the same ingredients but is certified gluten-free.  Cheaper too.

I take a digestive enzyme just to keep things running smoothly gluten or no. That could help with the broccoli bloat, and anything else bloat for that matter.

You could ask over on the "other intolerances" board to see if anyone else has issues aside from just gas.

 

I love broccoli too, but really can't handle it raw anymore. Cooked seems to be ok as long as not too much.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By barb simkin · Posted

      I have had a reaction to chocolate within 2 hours, severe abrupt dieherra.  With alcohol it can extend up to 12 hrs before the first reaction, but not as severe as chocolate.  I am also allergic to all fish and carry an epihpen.

      Neuropathy still after 4 months gluten-free.. help

      Welcome to the forum @oyea, have you ever been screened for celiac disease? You symptoms sound like they could be celiac disease related.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since chocolate has a laxative/stimulant effect on the digestive system, similar to coffee, some people do report IBS-like symptoms when they eat it, however, as long as the chocolate is gluten-free, the cause of such symptoms would be unrelated to celiac disease.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since those with celiac disease have a much higher change of having or getting additional autoimmune diseases it could definitely affect your health insurance rates. Prior to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), individuals with celiac disease could indeed be charged significantly higher premiums for private health insurance or even be denied coverage altogether, as it was a pre-existing condition that insurers could medically underwrite. The ACA's protections, which prohibit denying coverage or charging higher premiums based on health status, eliminated this practice, ensuring people with celiac disease could not be penalized financially for their diagnosis. However, this protection is not inherently permanent and is tied directly to the ACA's continued existence and enforcement; should the law be substantially weakened or repealed in the future, it is possible that a return to medical underwriting could once again allow insurers to charge individuals with pre-existing conditions like celiac disease higher premiums for their health coverage.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Jmartes71, your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound failure of the medical system to understand and properly manage celiac disease and its long-term consequences. Being dismissed and medically gaslit for three decades after an initial diagnosis is an unimaginable burden that has cost you your health, your career, and your sense of justice. The fact that a primary care physician of 25 years would offer to "fluff up" a disability claim rather than properly advocate for you based on a well-documented history is a devastating betrayal. While the positive HLA-DQ2 test offers a sliver of validation, it is infuriating that it isn't enough to end the fight, and it is completely understandable that you find this ongoing battle for basic belief and care to be utterly exhausting and deeply unfair.
