Gluten free

I have recently found out I need to have a gluten free diet. I usually do good with eating gluten free. I ate chicken alfredo that was gluten free and got an upset stomach. Any ideas as to why?

Is it possible that you also have an issue with dairy/casein? Many people with celiac disease, including myself, have, at least temporarily, additional food intolerances after being diagnosed. This is due to a condition called "leaky gut" and once you successfully heal your gut with a gluten-free diet for several months, or even up to a year or two for some people, those secondary intolerances may go away.

whenever i am trying to figure out what the heck is making me sick, i keep a food journal.  it is extremely helpful to write down *everything* that passes your lips (even gum - gum makes me ill, no gluten, just artificial sweetener/color/etc - it took my food journal to figure that out lolz) then i use a scale of 1-7 as to how i feel following eating said foods.  then you can try to eliminate the culprit by eating foods separately and see how you feel.  lots of times i had to do this in the beginning, to see what was irritating my still healing gut.  note:  most times it was *not* gluten, just something that i had to skip for awhile until my intestines were in better shape.  i had a fructose intolerance for a very long time, but now it's gone, mostly.  i can't go crazy with histamines, either.  you'll get the hang of it!  good luck!  :)

Who made that chicken Alfredo?  Maybe it was not really gluten free or was exposed to gluten while being prepared.

I'm not sure about dairy or any of that. But I eat diary a lot and it never bugs me. I had my gallbladder removed that's what gave me the gluten intolerance.

It's by udi and I just put it right into a sauce pan.

Thank you for the idea I'll give it a try!!

The listen to the other members.  You might have an intolerance.  Udi’s is convenient but it has lots of additives found in most processed foods.  You could be reacting (not a celiac reaction) to any of those.  
 

I had a non-functioning gallbladder that became infected.  It is my theory that undiagnosed celiac disease destroyed my gallbladder.  It sounds like your problems started after surgery.

Yes they did. Maybe you're right maybe it's something else in that food. I've eaten other udi things too with no problem.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
