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 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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!!

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.
