Hi Squall,

Don't be too upset at yourself. It takes a long time to get this right. :rolleyes: It will eventually become second nature, believe it or not!

Margarine can have gluten in it, you need to check the labels. I, personally, stay away from it altogether and use butter. As for mayonnaise - I have yet to find one that DOES have gluten in it.

Hope that helps!

Where would be the wheat in margarine? I use stick to keep mine separate from my hubby's tub o margarine. Mayo is egg based and I've never had a problem.

Hi Squall!

Don't beat yourself up about it! It is a major diet change and takes a lot of time to really get it under control......

As for mayonnaise and margarine, yes, gluten may be in some brands..... For margarine, I use Fleishmann's and for mayonnaise, I use Hellman's......

Never found a mayo with gluten in the U.S. And magarine is also almost universally gluten-free.

If you're lactose intolerant you might want to try Earth Balance as well. It's the most amazing alternative to real butter :)

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but is all mayo really safe?

Mayo has vinegar, does it not?

How can we tell what kind of vinegar is in it and whether or not it is safe?

you might only be temporarily lactose intolerant....once you have healed from the celiac damage, lactose might be fine again.

was the marg. and mayo you used "safe." .... i.e., nothing was ever dipped in it that had gluten remnants? (knife that was making a 'samwich' with non-gluten free bread, and then dipped back in?)

Like others have said, we have separate condiments like marg and mayo in our house for gluten-free/non gluten free.

if you are only 1 month in, you are probably still not completely healed. so everything you ate might have been fine, you just might be having trouble bc you haven't healed. I was like that and thought I was eating all this gluten-turned out I wasn't, I just wasn't healed. Didn't realize it though til I looked back and learned more about what was/wasn't safe.

Vinegars are generally safe, except for malt vinegar and certain flavored vinegars.

If it says vinegar, it means distilled vinegar, which is safe (FDA guidelines).

Well i live alone with my 6 cats so unless one of them made himself a samwich :)

If you're sensative to soy, you may want to try a different mayo. I just bought one made from Canola Oil, no soy - it's pretty good too.

The vinegar in mayo is distilled, which means it's gluten-free.

It took me a year on the gluten free diet before I could tolerate distilled vinegar among other thingsthat tend to show up on the controversial lists of safe foods. From what you stated you are pretty new to the diet and still need to heal. Keep a food diary to help keep your sanity, gluten may not be the cause of all your stomach upset.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
