I developed a wheat allergy after getting quite sick and dizzy after eating bread.  Now I am afraid to eat rice, or anything that could be contaminated with wheat.  Altho I have eaten rice pasta and nothing happened.  After a week of being grain free I am starting to feel better, altho today I did get that weak shaky feeling so many have complained about.  It lasted most of the morning and is finally gone, hopefull it will get less and less, didnt have it for two or three days until today.  I am still awfully gassy if you know what I mean, hopefully this will subside soon too.  I do eat mostly fruits and veggies, once in awhile chicken.  I have done tons of reading on this subject, was wondering if anyone had a reaction to sugar?  For a few days I did have some diarrhea, but that has also stopped.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are you saying you are diagnosed with Celiac disease?

Do you have any diagnosed conditions? Celiac, Ulcerative Colitis? UC will flare up with sugars and grains in rare cases, but you would probably notice streaks or drops of blood and mucus in stools.
Celiacs can also develop Diabetes or have thyroid issues which could lead to issues with grains/sugars. Celiac disease can also leave you open to a higher risk of SIBO  or Candida which would cause bloating or gas with sugars/starches like grains, beans, fruit, sugar.

You can still get the above issues without celiac disease, and you can get food intolerance issues or sensitivities. I can suggest keeping a food diary for now, record what you and and limit your diet to whole foods only, Seems like your following a paleo diet with no grains, you might take it a bit further. Diary is a common issue so removing that and the Keto/Akins diet routes would limit your carb intake to help with bloating, by using fats/protein for fuel instead of sugars/carbs.

We normally suggest those who come in and suspect wheat is a issue to their health to see about getting tested for celiac, if your allergic to it the testing would be impossible as you have to eat it for 8-12 weeks prior.  But the protocols and stuff in the Newbie 101 section can help you track down culprits of wheat/gluten sneaking into your diet still.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
