Broccoli & Cauliflower Causing Problems?

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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
