Cooked Or Raw Onions


Lisa

Recommended Posts

We just had hamburgers with cooked onions and boy was that a bad choice.

Even, Pre-D, I had a gasious problem with them, but now it is much worse. I guess I need to learn, by now.

Anyone ever react to simple onions.

I don't think I've had any problems with onions, but roasted red peppers... now we're not friends.

I don't have a problem with onions. Now mushrooms are a different story.

Anyone have a food come out looking EXACTLY the same as the way it did when it went in? :o

Well, I will check the portobella's in the morning. Onions always look the same and reak havoc on their way through.

(PM - love the dress, passed it on the the mistress of cer).

Hope you feel better, glad to have you back. We need your spit and fire. :D:D

I have a friend who's non-celiac. Onions give her migraines. She can do shallots and garlic but no onions.

Oh yes...corn!! I mean you would think I didn't even chew the damn thing. Sometimes lettuce, but that is hit or miss, and it's usually atleast shredded on the way out. LOL!

Lisa Mentor

Alright, I have to confess. Onions do do nasty things to me. But after I went into the living room where hubby was watching tv, I asked him if I night eat. He said what in the world are you talking about.

After I went to the bathroom with nausia and bad cramping, I had the big D. I knew that onions were the culprit. But, very stange thing in the lou, ripply edged things floating. Now, I'm used to things floating, but this was not normal.

He had cut his finger, and covered it up with some sort of clear tape. Upon showering, he took it off and put it in the lou.

After being gluten this weekend, I though I had ingested plastics, or night eating. Holy Cow, I was freekin out. End of story..............but onions are really bad for me. Glad plastics are not on my diet. :blink:

My husband will eat very overcooked carrots (from can) and they can be seen the next morning in the poop. This has also happened to him - drank carrot juice and next morn had orangey stool. Also happened to him when he ate very red colored frosting from cake and next morn had redden colored stool-more like a deep rosey pink. This could possibly happen with other fruits/veggies but he won't try them to see.

He can't digest onions raw or otherwise. Not even onion or garlic powdered. too much intestinal upset from it.

Canadian Karen Community Regular

Hey Debmidge! How goes it??? :)

Same thing happens here, not only with me, but with the kids. Whenever the kids drink blue KoolAid, guess what colour the BMs are the next day? A nice blue/green hue....... LOL!

Hugs!

My husband has the same problem with onions. Now we only use sweet onions for everything and he eats them fine with almost every meal (because I LOVE onions and garlic). He has learned that he cannot eat anything with onions or onion powder away from home because they use the cheap onions.

Sweet onions are less acidic and don't bother the tummy. No more smelling up the entire upstairs, no more camping in the bathroom unless he eats them out.

He has similar problems with tomatoes so we stick with the yellows most of the time for the same reason.

Try the sweet and see if that helps...

Corn for me too. And that's probably been for twenty-thirty years.

Ditto on the corn--and spinach! I don't have trouble with onions as long as they're well cooked.

If the newbies need any more proof that we will discuss just about ANYTHING, all they need to do is check out this thread!!!!

No onions for me either. They kill me! Raw are the worst, especially the red ones. I once ate a tiny piece of a red onion and had such bad cramping and D that I almost went to the hospital! I won't even eat them cooked. I can't do garlic either. Powders of both are out too. I eat very bland food here! LOL!

ianm Apprentice

No onions here either. The EPA has to evacuate the neighborhood. Good thing that doesn't happen with Altoids. No where else but Celiac.com can we discuss these things.

I was laughing so hard, I hit the wrong key and almost had to start another topic! :lol:

Ouch! Now THAT would burn! :o

Oh well, it could replace Preparation "H" Cooling Gel in a pinch! :lol:

Thanks Lisa, needed a good laugh :lol:

I love onions, but never eat them if I'm going out or having anyone in. They don't give me D, but rather a very powerful ... shall I say 'skunk' effect.

Rae Apprentice

Yeah guys,,,I love onions- but they bloat up my stomach,,,same with garlic. As for the poo,, I see spinach, red peppers, corn- yes my poo is very colorful. These convos are great- to know I can talk about poo with people I never met before...the world is great!

Guest Robbin

Poo is a very important topic to us here. I can usually tell what I had for dinner the night before. Hope that stops soon. I asked my husband once, before I was gluten-free if he could tell what foods he ate from the poo and he said he never found poo in the toilet so interesting that he actually STUDIED it.! I told him he just took his healthy poo too much for granted. You spend as much time on the throne as some of us have, you can't help but study it! :blink: Oh, yeah, forgot the thread... Onions are the worst. Any way, shape, or form!!

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
