Peanut Intolerance.....REALLY?


KW

Recommended Posts

KW Newbie

It's been since August that I have been confirmed celiac and have eliminated gluten from my diet. Doing well except for the occasional "oh no" moments of getting glutened. That being said, my gut is probably far from healed. However I do eat a well rounded diet avoiding gluten at all costs, I can manage greek yogurt, almond milk, corn and grains. Thankfully. Until the past two weeks......

Just when I thought I was doing well, I ordered off the gluten free menu at a restaurant, had the spring veggie rolls with peanut sauce. About an hour later, those familiar awful cramps came up. Making me feel really warm and putting me in a lot of pain. Then for the rest of the night ( and embarrassingly at the restaurant) I had diarrhea and was knocked out like a zombie, very lethargic and very confused because I didn't consume any gluten! A few days later I made myself a peanut butter mug cake (coconut sugar, 1 egg, 2.5 tbsp natural pb), and had the same reaction, Less severe but it did happen. Today I had peanut butter and apple slices. Bam one hour later I was back in the bathroom. 

I have never ever had a reaction to peanuts in my life. Could this be a sign of leaky gut? Have you guys ever reacted to nuts before?

I also recently reacted to a bag of basmati rice that I purchased.... Have never reacted to rice before until now. I'm getting a little concerned.

Unfortunately it is not uncommon for new to the diet Celiacs to discover they have another food intolerance.  Peanuts are actually in the legume family so beware of soy, chickpeas, and others.  That being said keep a food journal (which you seem to have kept track of what caused reaction). 

If symptoms persist, go for further testing.  (after years gluten free I did need my gallbladder taken out-high fat foods caused severe distress.  My daughter was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis after about 5 years gluten free from Celiac diagnoses -she had to go on an elimination diet to find food "triggers" that caused damage up to 12 days after consumption)

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
