Anyone Have Problem With Salmon, Other Fatty Fish?

I was wondering. Before I was diagnosed I had a real problem after I ate salmon, tuna or any fatty fish. Like really bad upper stomach aches that would double me over. I'm wondering if it was damage done from gluten. It started a few years ago and got worse and worse. Now I avoid all fatty fish, even though I love it and it is so good for you, because I am soooo scared of that pain. I'm afraid to try it now, after being gluten free.

Just wanted to see if anyone else had problems with fatty foods like that. I miss salmon.

Oh, and I eat haddock, shrimp, crab, lobster with no problem.

Thanks for any replys!!

I don't know how long you've been gluten-free, but after a while I'd try it again -- very small amount at first. Wait until you think you've really healed.

I am now gravitating toward fish. I find that heavy beef, steak, stews...don't seem to taste as good to me and maybe a little hard to digest.

And addition to this...My husband got a "Green-Egg" grill/smoker for Christmas. I do think that I am all smoked out. He's going crazy with smok'in everything. It was great in the beginning, but now.......bla. :blink:

I use a digestive enzyme (usually bromelain) with fatty meals. Lecithin can help emulsify fat too.

Are you reacting to fresh tuna and fresh salmon? Or are you eating the canned stuff. Most brands of canned tuna and salmon (and other canned fish) are not gluten-free...be sure to check with the manufacturer on the brand you are eating.

I had to learn this the hard way.

You might have a fish allergy (which is separate from a shellfish allergy). You should check with a allergist on this one, particularly as you said you experienced fairly severe symptoms.

I haven't personally checked canned salmon, but every single canned tuna I've ever checked has been gluten-free. The vegetable broth in it comes from vegetables. Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, Star Kist, Kroger are all gluten-free. Check their web sites.

Many brands of canned fish that feature vegetable broth do not list the ingredients of the broth. Some of these vegetable broths can contain wheat starch in the flavouring (at least they can up here in Canada). Anyways, I think it is always worth a simple phone call.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
