Questions About Breads And Different Symptoms

I am finding that I react differently to different breads. With pizza and noodles and white loaf bread I get horrible migraines. With things like cookies and biscuits, cinnamon rolls I sneeze my head off for about ten minutes then it's over. I can eat a hamburger with the bun and get by with mild constipation. Is there more gluten in some things than others? I'm not quite understanding. It's all gluten....?

You are new right? Your gut is a mess. It takes time to heal (up to 2 or 3 years). It is best to do whole foods, keep a food journal (help identify intolerances) and eliminate all milk products (damaged villi can not release the enzymes to digest things like milk lactose.

Have you read the newbie section under "Coping"?

Sbwife, are these gluten free breads and baked goods you are eating, or regular baked goods that do contain wheat and gluten?

Are you still deciding whether or not to go gluten free?

To clarify..yes I am new. These are not gluten-free breads. I have suspected gluten intolerance, noticing different symptoms with different things. A GI doctor I have seen agrees I may be intolerant. I've tried 100% gluten-free and symptoms improved dramatically. So I am transitioning back to gluten-free. I was just curious why I don't have the sMe symptoms for all breads... Curious if anyone knows. I am new.

Well, for different regular gluteny breads, there are going to be different levels of gluten.   That question has been asked on the forum before, and the bottom line is that we aren't going to have an answer for that.  The answer to any problem with gluten is to cut it out 100%, a low gluten diet type of thing is not going to fully help anyone with an actual medical issue.  Things like pizza dough tend to be made with a higher gluten flour, if that helps, but since you are experiencing things like sneezing, it sounds like there is an actual allergy in there somewhere to something you are eating.  You also may be eating a higher quantity of the gluten containing product when you eat things like pizza and pasta as compared to a hamburger bun.  But the cookies, biscuits, and cinnamon rolls making you sneeze sounds like it is an issue to something else so you may want to keep a food journal and write down all the ingredients in things that make you sneeze, so that way you may be able to pinpoint what it is so you can avoid it.

I didn't realize this topic has already been addressed. A food diary is a good idea. I will do that. For myself, I am suspecting a lactose intolerance as well. I have had gluten-free protein shakes and have sneezed as well as eating gluten-free cereal and sneezing. I haven't addressed that issue yet....but I am starting to take things out of my diet and see what happens.

      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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
