I've been following a gluten free diet for a few weeks now as I suspect that I've got celiac disease and have been feeling better apart from when I eat gluten free bread it has been setting me off and I feel like crap. It hasn't been cross contaminated so I'm confused HELP!

Maybe check for dairy in the ingredients of the bread? You may be allergic to both, gluten and dairy. I have several friends/family that are allergic to both. :)

Some celiac end up with issues with Xantham Gum intolerance or sensitivity...the way it is made can make it quite the offender.
High and large amounts of starches and sugars used in most gluten free breads can cause gas, bloating. Celiacs especially those recently diagnosed are prone to SIBO and Candida. If your have these the excess loads of starches and sugars in gluten free processed foods will give you a nightmare of bloat, gas, and other symptoms that can be almost as bad a gluten exposure.

FEW top suggestion to new celiac, whole foods only diet without dairy or oats, you know the dairy issues with damaged villi not producing the enzymes to break ti down but 10% of celiacs react to oats as well even gluten free ones.

Breads....Gluten free we suggest you give them up for months til you forget what they even taste like.

There are some lower carb options for gluten-free breads and even xantham gum free ones like Julian Bakery (DO NOT ORDER AMAZON but straight from their bakery) they are acquired and a bit drier. They toast great, the seed melody is a nice treat and I have not even tried their new sandwich one since my bakery started our own. Mikeys' Makes a heavy toasted bread you can find at walmart.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      By ShadowLoom · Posted

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
