I ate some gluten free quinoa, and boy am I sick! No dh reaction, but my stomach is acting like ive had a bad glutening, and totally knocked me out. The brand is certified gluten free, but is it possible quinoa is a no go? I cant eat gluten free oats either. 

Im scared of my small amount of safe foods being reduced further! Ive never eaten quinoa before. 

My sensitivity is very high to gluten, I simply cannot handle the 20ppm supposedly gluten free foods. 

Im hoping its cross contamination, not another thing off the list. 

Im reduced to eating only soft boiled veg, no onions, no tomato.

I find that I can eat a little bit of quinoa but a large amount seems to make my stomach hurt.  I think it may be the fiber.  Just my unscientific theory.

Thank you for the reply!

Ive classic glutening symptoms (for me) of diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, and extreme fatigue. It was the only new thing I ate.

But no new dh lesions. So thats good!

What brand, there have been issues with some finding gluten grains in edisons grainery gluten free grains and lentils. If you buy dry food like those you should dump out on some butcher paper etc, sort the grains looking for anything not what it should be, wash in a grain colander well, then cook.

>.< I have Ulcerative Colitis and for the longest time had gut issues (Pain, bloating, distention, bloody stools) without the other gluten symptoms when I ate fruits or grains. Learned it was flaring to sugars and carbs. I had assumed it was bad gut bacteria for years.

It was pereg brand, with mushrooms.

I dont think I'll be trying quinoa again. Ive gone grain free for now, in an attempt to feel a bit better.

You poor thing! No sugar or carbs must be miserable.

At first yes, then I discovered grain free nut based breads and desserts, then as a bakery owner started making my own of many. Nut butters, seed butters, and baked goods made with nut and seeds are stables along with egg dishes and leafy green veggies. Found Miracle Noodle rice and noodles that are carb free. Sweeteners like Swerve, Pyure, stevia, Lakanto etc do not bother it, and I found extracts for all my desserts and fruits I can not eat so I can taste them in other dishes......And if I somehow get my pancreas to start working right (chiropractor suspects it can be improved with adjustments and some kind of therapy as he found my t7 nerve that effects not signally right) I can start eating on a meat based paleo/keto diet.  Maybe I have just fooled myself but I am quite happy with it....and it works wonders for lean muscular body build, and I no longer have bloat and energy galore (body burns fat/protein for energy not carbs).

Im so glad you are on the mend, and happy with your diet as you can be! 

Celiac is such a bind. I eat clean certified foods and still get hit by Cross contamination and low level build up.

My only sugar is the occasional Square of chocolate, and lara bars a few times a week. Im currently living on veg soup, that I batch make, canned sardines, and avocados. Im miserable and tough to be around.

Moggy, sounds like you ate a prepared, processed, quinoa meal. I suspect cross contamination.

Having said that, some quinoa strains have been tested as having levels of gluten or gluten like proteins that may cause distress. I assume that a Co preparing gluten-free meals would know this and would use safe strains.

Best way to test this will be to cook raw, unprocessed quinoa and try it with a simple home cooked gluten-free meal. I cook quinoa regularly and enjoy it. It’s one of my safe foods.

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      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 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...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      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...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      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 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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
