Was It Too Good To Be True?

Help! I had a wonderful gluten free dinner tonight but I need to know if anyone has had any reactions to what I ate. I made DeBoles wheat-free, gluten-free corn spaghetti style pasta with a homemade, very plain, tomato sauce. The only ingredients on the tomato sauce was tomatoes. I have been itching so bad for the last hour or so! I feel bloated too. I have not had any of these symptoms since giving up gluten, two weeks ago. Is this a reaction or just my own body playing tricks on me? Does anyone have any suggestions? I thought I would call the company tomorrow (they are closed now) to ask if cross contamination is possible. Not sure what to do. I did find out that my shampoo (Paul Mitchell) had wheat in it but wouldn't my scalp have started itching this morning? Thank you for any insight! Jo Ann

Hi Jo Ann,

I get really bloated and sluggish after eating corn. I used to eat as little as possible, but couldn't resist corn chips or the occasional corn tortilla. However, after reading about how similar corn and soy (my other problem food) are to the gluten and casein (dairy) proteins in Open Original Shared Link, I have just cut it out for good. Those guys are waaay too similar to gluten for me to feel comfortable eating. Better safe than sorry I think - there is very good rice pasta. In fact, one of the best gluten-free pastas around is made from brown rice: Open Original Shared Link

Thank you, Cornbread. I still feel so bloated and am so mad at thinking I could have something like real spaghetti. I should have known! It tasted way too good. I will try to avoid corn and see what happens. Do you know why corn on the cob doesn't bother me? I will try that rice pasta. Thanks!

I don't remember corn on the cob bothering me either, just corn when it's ground into a grain... :unsure: I am determined to find out now though!

Are they maybe just from different parts of the plant? :unsure:

I too have to be very careful with soy/corn. I can eat corn as a veggie and it doesnt bother me at all. I cant have it processed in anyways--corn flour/soyflour both make me ill--I can tolerate soy lecithin and margarines as long as I make sure that soy is not the only ingredient--they say that the proteins in oils are gone from the heating process to make the oil clear--it's the proteins we react to from my understanding. I dont use veg oil or corn oil, I use olive oil--I cant use reg mayo, I get canola oil mayo and I do use tinkyada products. Deb

DeBoles does make gluten containing pastas, so I suppose there is that possibility of cross contamination. You may want to contact the company and let them know you had a reaction, just in case someone got lax in their cleaning procedures...

You can have pasta, just get Tinkyada! It's the best pasta I've found by far, and it's made in a dedicated gluten free facility.

You mentioned that you gave up gluten two weeks ago....for many people, it takes a longer time for their symptoms to go away (a couple of months, etc) before their body feels back to normal. Just a thought!

I am adding my voice to the corn/soy issues - after going gluten free, I discovered problems with corn and soy both by process of elimination. I can tolerate just enough corn to take my pills but I don't do any more than that in my diet. Soy is even worse for me. I cannot have ANY amount of soy.

There are some really good rice pastas out there...see if changing to that makes the difference.

I've actually been getting sick from the tomato sauce, I've read the ingrediants and everything looks ok, but i noticed the tomato fiber ingrediant is the common factor between the sauces that make me sick and the ones that don't. Maybe it's just the extra fiber or maybe it's something that triggers my celiac disease...all i know is that it kicks me right in the butt everytime!!

never any problems with the corn pasta though, could be the brand

Thank you all for your words of wisdom! I appreciate everyone's input. As a new Celiac, it is so hard to figure everything out alone.

I just called the company and they said that there is "minimal to no risk" of cross contamination as they "practice safe processing procedures". First of all, isn't a minimal risk, still a risk? Second, maybe it was the processed corn that I had a reaction to. I have only suffered from the extreme itchiness a few times in the past but I definitely know what the bloating is! I have quite a bit of gas since eating dinner too.

I know my symptoms will not go away in two weeks but I have felt some relief since starting. The major stomach pains are tolerable now and the bloating has definitely lessened.

Again, thank you! Jo Ann

Oh no! Please don't tell me that! I am Italian and giving up all my favorite dishes has been so hard. Now, it could be my tomato sauce? Arggg! <_< I guess I will keep learning and learning. I will stay away from tomato sauce for a while and try some rice pasta.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
