Two Different Items....two Possible Glutens

So i was pretty sick for awhile and couldn't figure out why....turns out Apple Cider was the problem....I read the ingredients and everything seemed totally fine, but it just made me ridiculously sick....I wouldn't have figured out what the problem was if it weren't for my mom making me a completely gluten free meal and me having apple cider with the meal. Anyone else know of anything like this?

Secondly..........everytime I have Hunts tomato paste/sauce I get that uh oh feeling in my stomach and spend quite some time in the bathroom....everything seems harmless in the label, but this has happened like four or five times....any one know anything??

And what about splenda, can we have splenda....

haha sorry for all the questions, i've had them building up for quite some time.

I don't know about the cider. I do know that many people are a little sensitive to tomato products...I'm one of them, as well as my brother. It could be the acid within the product. Also, though I (luckily) tolerate Splenda well, I've read many accounts of people not handling it well, as in using the bathroom a lot, feeling nauseous, etc. A lot of people just can't do sugar subs...hth!

Fake sugars make some gassy (even diaherra if too much is eaten). But, splenda is gluten free. Not sure about the apple cider....are "spices" listed as an ingrediant? I've been glutened before by "spices", thinking that they would certainly list anything harmful....does not seem to be the case though.

I have noticed with kids (do not have celiac disease) that apple juice is great for constipation. I am not sure what it is about the juice.

Also, what type of cider are you drinking? Has it been pasturized? Unpasturized can have bacteria in it and create diarrhea too...

For years and years I've noticed that COOKED tomatoes seem to upset me terribly...for example, spaghetti made with tomato sauce always gave me a bad time and horrible heartburn. Yet, fresh tomato slices didn't seem to bother me.

Yea--Sometimes tomato sauce gives me indigestion but fresh tomato never does. Probably because the tomatoes are more concentrated, then the added spices on top of that.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis about 3 years ago. At that time I quit gluten and it really helped my symptoms. I hadn't known that I should've tested for celiac before doing so.  Up till recently, gluten would cause my symptoms to flare up, although I never noticed anything with cross contamination, so I wasn't strict about that. But recently, I noticed I could get away with more gluten, and so I decided to do a gluten challenge to see if I had celiac and if I had to be strict. Note that my thyroid antibodies had been decreasing steadily up to this point. My anti-TPO had reached 50 IU/ml from 250 IU/ml (reference range 0-5.6) when I had first been diagnosed. After just a week of the gluten challenge, I measured my thyroid antibodies and they were at 799 IU/ml! I felt fine, but a few days after I started to feel the symptoms. Extreme brain fog, insomnia, diarheaa, fatigue, sleepiness yet cannot sleep, stomachache after eating gluten, nausea, swollen throat (probably due to my thyroid), burping, and gas. I cannot function properly. I'm also worried that I'm killing my thyroid. Should I just quit the challenge? It's been almost two weeks, but the first week I wasn't tracking well, so that's why I didn't want to count it. I can't eat gluten anyway because of my thyroid, but I wanted the diagnosis to know if I should be strict about cross contamination or not.

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?

      It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep in mind that the gluten consumption doesn't have to be in the form of bread slices. It can come in any form: pasta, cake, wraps, etc. Another approach would be to buy gluten powder at a health food store and mix it in a shake. The idea is to get at least 10g of gluten daily, whatever form it comes in.
