Better at the Beach?


Plonkers

Hi there,

I either have a severe gluten intolerance or celiac, although I can't be sure yet because I can't eat gluten to get a proper diagnosis without experiencing pain, bloating, severe heartburn, etc.  I've been gluten free for 3 years and can't even have gluten in my house or I get glutened.  Anyway....

Last week I was at the beach, and I didn't eat any gluten, but even so, I felt so much better, didn't have even one stomach ache despite cooking in a kitchen that was undoubtedly contaminated with gluten (I was sure to wash everything, but still).  I even drank coffee all week, even though I can't drink it at home because it exacerbates my symptoms (esp. heartburn) and makes me more sensitive.

I got home last night and bam.... within 30 min I had a pain in my stomach and had to take a zantac.

Has anyone ever heard of a link between where you live and gluten intolerance?  

Thinking about moving, lol!!!!!

Maybe it is not your celiac disease acting up?  

I struggled last year with gastric issues.  I had a repeat endoscopy which revealed healthy healed villi and a new diagnosis: Chronic Autoimmune Gastritis.  While I can control or treat my celiac disease with a gluten free diet, I can not control my gastritis.  I notice that my gastritis occurs or is made worse with stress.  

Maybe you should look beyond celiac disease as a source of your current issues.  How is your thyroid?  Autoimmune thyroiditis and  celiac disease are often linked.

As cycling lady said maybe review other potential issues or environmental expsoures. Many of us have other conditions or intolerance s. Do you have other allergies IgE mediated to outdoor or indoor allergeans? Something like dust, or mold, or construction materials can be in a home\rental  environment at your home but not the rental. Families with hayfever and asthma can react to indoor and outdoor environments too.

I hope you can figure out culprit and address it for your relief.

Good luck

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      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.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
