Motivate me for tomorrow guys :((())

 

If it was wheat starch it would have to be listed on the ingredient list.  Chances are you will be okay. What brand was it?

Most starch is corn or potato,, If it is wheat starch it will be labelled to state "wheat" somewhere in the ngredients.

Well if you want to play it safe, Spicely Organic has gluten free spices, Big Axe Spice has some nice "everything" blends. I have tried two others that are supposed to be safe but found everything they made so salty I could not eat it.

I have problems with corn so I have to be aware of that when shopping for spices and gluten-free baking products as Raven pointed out.

I use Badia which states certified gluten-free

As for encouragement drink lots of water and rest. A nice soak in tub sometimes is soothing. I hope it passes soon. If you find out it is gluten-free after all ask about corn in product, on the line, or facility .

May your symptoms be minimal and pass fast 

best wishes

edit: it was Karen not Raven who mentioned corn  starch

my bad entirely

I asked for their two products yesterday,onion and garlic.Onion powder's package doesnt have starch or wheat on ingredient list but garlic powder has corn starch . I dont have any intolerance to corn by the way.

They told me they add starch to two of their products so they are not gluten free. I dont understand why they would put on corn starch on list if it contains wheat starch.I sent another mail to them.

 I had nausea last night and this morning but im not sure if it is because of powder or something else.

Either the person answering the phone or email is an  idiot or the company is failing to follow even the basic labeling laws.  Even without the Gluten labeling laws in the US, Canada, etc- there are laws that they can't label something as x but use y instead.  

 

I am betting

They answered today, they told me that it had cornstarch . I guess its a cross contamination issue ? Or the starch is labeled as corn gluten (which is not the same thing )

Where are you buying this product?  Your previous posting indicated that you are not in the USA.  Labeling laws can be different depending on where you live.  

In any case, as a newly diagnosed celiac or NCGI, you should avoid foods processed foods until you feel better.  Use fresh onions for now.  

Recovery from celiac disease takes time.  You can have good days and bad days.  I hope that your good days soon outpace the bad!

Could possibly be a cross-reaction to the corn starch, but if you're not sensitive to corn it shouldn't be an issue.  Your nausea may be from something else entirely, and it could be somatic...you're expecting a reaction and your body is kindly obliging.  We tend to blame every little blip on celiac, which is natural, until we learn over time what is and isn't a gluten reaction.

In the meantime, drink plenty of water and get some rest.  If you experience brain fog like I do, try a little extra vitamin B-12.

No luckily i didn't :) I had nausea probably caused by eating more than I used to eat the day before. And the company sent me another email saying that it contains CORN GLUTEN ,not wheat gluten.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
