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:

Yes Snickers have Egg in them, Egg Whites actully. I know cause I cant let my son have them for that reason, its also clearly marked on the package "This product contians Egg" and its in the ingredirents listed as "Egg Whites".

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
