Sick to stomach after 30 days

hi everyone. I have been gluten free over 30 days now since my diagnosis and it has been an up and down process. I have accidentally injested gluten twice, last time a week ago. Overall I have been feeling better but almost every evening for the last week, I get really sick to my stomach. It is usually gone in the morning, although not today. Is this normal?  The only thing new this week is trader joes coffee a cocoa. I have been searching the net and can't find anything that confirms its gluten free. Ingredients are ground coffee, unsweetened cocoa, and chocolate fudge oil.

I don't think it's unusual to be sick a week after a glutening. Remember, you've been glutened twice in 30 days. That is about equal to not having gone gluten-free at all. It really is best to stick to nothing but whole foods at first. They are not ony easier for you to digest, but they reduce the chance of accidental glutening. And drinking (or eating) anything like that Trader Joe's beverage you are not sure of is playing Russian roulette. Don't do it! Eat and drink only things you have prepared yourself and are certain of.

Have you read the Newbie 101 thread? If not, it's pinned to the top of the coping section. Go there right now and read it. :)

Your digestion is healing. You may not be able to stomach caffeine, chocolate and sugar. Treat glistening recovery as you would a stomach bug- gentle foods, bone broth, maybe lay off the dairy.

I did read the newbie section, but clearly could use a re-read. Other than the coffee, the other two times were both eating out. I will try both of your suggestions. Thank you for replying. :)

Here is my two cents:

I love Trader Joe's.  Heck, I have been going shopping there for over 25 years.  But, I have to say that we have been glutened by them more than once.  Because they private label most of their products, it is hard to verify that they are really gluten free.  Okay, so no gluten ingredients are used but how is the product manufactured?  For example, I buy name brand corn tortillas made in a shared facility with wheat.  When I called, I was told that the manufacturing line is never shared with wheat.   The company cranks out corn tortillas 24 hours a day.  They maintain standard safe food practices, so I feel good.  But when I call Trader Joe's I can  not talk to someone in the factory.  TJ is not going to disclose their suppliers.  

So, to be safe, I avoid all processed foods from TJ made with their store label.  It can be like eating out -- hit or miss!  

Now, this is just my opinion.  Perhaps others have a different experience.  As far as the other posters and their advice?  Dead on!  :D

Great insight to Trader Joes- to be honest if they had a lable that said gluten free- I havee just been trusting it.  I will be more careful now.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1. There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine. In Thiamine deficiency, the body...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
