Eating Rice and Quinoa

I have a severe reaction to wheat, dairy and corn and have eliminated all of them from my diet (corn as much as I possibly can - it's in everything)

I haven't eaten Dairy for 3 years, no Wheat/Gluten since Jan '15 and no Corn since June '15. As my reactions spread from Dairy to Wheat to Corn to play safe, this summer, I also stopped eating all other grains in case reactions spread to other things as well, hoping that in time my gut may heal and I can then go back to them.

Sadly I am now finding that I am starting to react to fish and meat, most likely due to them being cleaned with lactic acid and citric acid both from corn and have problems finding any safe corn free meat or fish.

Hence I am rethinking whether I should go back to eating rice and quinoa as I am struggling to eat enough food. I have never yet reacted to either of them. I am interested in opinions from those who might have more experience.

I am waiting for my first gastro appointment at the hospital next week.

I dont eat meat of any kind and I have stopped ALL grains except certified gluten-free rice. I eat lots of lentils, beans, veggies, nuts and fruits. 

I introduced quinoa into my diet about 3 weeks ago and a few nights ago, had a horrible reaction to it. Like, didn't leave the bathroom for 3 hours kind of reaction. There were warning signs (heartburn, headaches, canker sores, brain fog) but I have been gluten-free for so long (8+ years) that I wasn't paying attention.

I went digging online and found this - Open Original Shared Link

"Most quinoa cultivars do not possess quantifiable amounts of celiac-toxic epitopes. However, 2 cultivars had celiac-toxic epitopes that could activate the adaptive and innate immune responses in some patients with celiac disease."

Consequently, I would proceed with care when it comes to quinoa.

Thanks. That is useful to know. At the moment I can only eat local farm seasonal veggies and meat. Legumes, nuts and seeds aren't an option for me due to high arginine levels and my having recurring shingles.

 

I am concerned that eating rice will encourage further allergies.

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      I got Celiac disease in 2023 when I had covid. Within a week, food was bothering my stomach. I started eating non gluten food but had a journey learning. I know do not go to restaurants or fast food, I was told I cant eat red meat. I have an appointment in May to get a question on why no red meat. I eat ground turkey or chicken, frozen vegetables instead...

      Mallorca Guide

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...
