I just stopped eating gluten about 6 weeks ago and I'm still having some odd symptoms. One being that I have difficulty taking deep breaths although my oxygen level is fine. I believe this has to do with my system being backed up from the change in diet.  so this morning I decide to go on a liquid diet for a couple of days and made myself a juice smoothie with my boyfriend's ingredients in the house. I mixed two different kinds of juices, a little bit of gluten free Whey protein mix, and some blackberries.  it was a different kind of protein mix than he normally has so I carefully reviewed the package to find the words gluten free. It was quite good and I felt healthy. Until I started to feel slightly dizzy and weird.

Wouldn't you freaking know that good belly probiotic juice has barley malt in it? 

 The only reason I added it to the pomegranate juice was I was thinking "Oh good it's a probiotic, how helpful"!

Just a thought, but maybe the mixture was high in sugar. If you have a lot of sugar, no matter what the source of it was, it can make your blood glucose skyrocket. You said you only added a little whey protein mix, maybe by adding a bit more or just adding some yogurt to the mix, it would have slowed down how quickly your body processed the juice.  

If you can't/don't eat gluten for what ever reason, your body processes your foods at a different speed to those who can/do eat gluten.  Also, have you ever had a glucose tolerance test? (This is how they find out if you have diabetes).

Do we process slower than the gluten eaters?  Just wondering and learning from you all.

Yes. My glucose test was normal. I did however, 4 hours later, ask my boss about FMLA (as a joke) because I look pregnant. 

Any suggestions on how to get the bloat down? Or what to eat to make it not bloat more?

Yes!   When I was being diagnosed the traditional "clean out" time  for a colonoscopy prep did not work for me due to small intestinal damage.   I originally just went in for a routine colonoscopy and during the consult the GI suggested an endoscopy and celiac testing due to anemia.   Now, I will be required to do twice the clean out procedures!  I am dreading it. I will starve!  But that will not occur  for 7 more years.   Plus, my intestines should be healed ....but ya never know, so I will have to play it safe.  Look out jello and chicken broth!  By the way, my colon was just fine.

Was that certified gluten-free whey protein?  Did you contact the manufacturer and inquire about their manufacturing practices (e.g. Dedicated line?)  I am confused.  Did the label actually say gluten free and yet it barley in it?

No. The irony, and I laughed at myself, is that the whey protein mix was fine. I checked the packaging more then once. 

When I started to feel funny I then checked the probiotic juice (go figure, I put it in my smoothie for the gut healing effects) and THAT had barley malt in it. Juice out of all things...yummy stuff. Called Good Belly. But watch out!

I think it is more likely to be the opposite.  I have diabetes as well as coeliac disease and due to my diet I find that I get glucose lows quite a bit and need to test my glucose before driving, to make sure it doesn't go too low.  However, this might not be the same for everyone, but it is something to take into consideration,  for exampleI personally cannot tolerate dairy produce, and dairy can slow down the rate of absorption.

I'm confused. You had barley malt in your probiotic juice? You must not have barley malt on a gluten free diet, this would not make it a gluten free diet. Sorry if I've misunderstood you.

Yes, I know. I am new to this. It was my boyfriend's juice, not something I buy. 

In a million years I would not have expected the damn juice.

Ha!  I was thinking digestive time -- not blood sugar!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
