Bloating And Diarrhea From Snickers

Hi there,

I feel so terrible. I feel like I had a load of gluten or something. The whole disaster started yesterday evening at about 9:00. I haven't had a Snickers for a couple of weeks. Yesterday evening I thought, "OK... Your weight is fine so you might be able to eat some junkfood. Especially since you haven't had it for a while." I went to our junk food drawer and there were still two Snicker bars in. With joy I grabbed them, proud of myself, cause I didn't eat junk food in a while. Only fruits, veggies, fish, rice and chicken...

So at about 9:00 I pop these two Snickers in and kept on rummaging and cleaning up my filing cabinet. I was sitting during that time. Then I got up to go to the restroom and by the time I came to the door I thought "this is weired, I haven't had brain fog in a while". And when I finally got up the stairs I bumped into the handrail three times, cause I was dizzy. Then this morning I had incredible bloating and during the tournament today I had bloating, diarrhea and had to go to the restroom like every 10 - 20 minutes... What the h... is going on???

I tried to figure out what that might be. It can't be the lactose or chocolate. I have one cocoa every morning and about a week ago I had a plain milk chocolate without any problems whatsoever. Then it dawned on me. Could it be the nuts in the Snickers??? Because once Kathy, one of my celiac-students, made some brownies with nuts for me. And since she's not that careful with gluten and I got problems after eating her brownies I first thought, some gluten might have slipped into her recipe (which is pretty unlikely actually, if she only used the glutenfree brownie mix). But now I start to believe, it's the nuts maybe. Do Snickers have eggs in them, too? What do you guys think???

Should I wait, until I'm fine again and then eat a couple of plain peanuts scoops?

I'd blame the nuts. I also have diverticulosis and nuts are a no-no for me. But I don't have the symptoms that you did. I'd try a few peanuts next week when your body has recovered, and also when you have some "down" time in case..

I tried a view good handfuls of peanuts Monday evening and I didn't have any problems any more. This is sooo strange. Maybe while eating the bars I ate something else that was in the air and got the stomache flue for a day by chance??? I don't have a clue? But only for one day??? :ph34r:

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.
