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.

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
