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).

Hi Squall,

I use the Fleishmann's margarine that is also lactose free. It comes in a package of two containers.....

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

i think i dont have to worry about that...( but then again they are pretty sneaky...hmmm i wonder...)

i bought new ustensil the day i knew i had problems. i was scared to even touch the one i had before hehe

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

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

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
