Strange Taste And Feeling In Mouth

I used some A-1 Steak House Marinade on my steaks last night. I read the ingredients and I didn't see anything that I knew of that showed that it contained gluten. But about an hour after eating it, I got the strangest taste in my mouth. Kinda like cotton mouth or like it had been slightly burned. Very sensitive and my tonuge feels swollen. I still have that feeling this morning.

Any ideas? I read that we shouldn't use Marinade....but what ingredient has the gluten? I had no other reaction other than this and I've never felt this before.

Thanks for any suggestions.

I'm just guesing here, but did the sauce have any tenderizers in it--like papya or pineapple or something similar? I get the feelings in my mouth that you describe when I eat those things as well as I got them when I took a chewable digestive enzyme that contained them. Without seeing the list of ingredients, it's hard to say--but it sounds to me like oral allergy syndrome.

I get a burning sensation in my mouth when I've been glutened that is followed by moderate swelling and sensitivity. I also tend to get mouth ulcers sometimes when I've been glutened. This is a fairly common reaction to gluten as I understand it. My guess is that you were glutened, although there were no gluten containing ingredients in the sauce.

Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Vinegar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Red Bell Peppers, Soybean Oil, Salt, Contains Less Than 2% Of Spice, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Garlic, Red Bell Peppers, Modified Food Starch, Onions, Paprika, Xanthan Gm, Natural Flavor, Potassium Sorbate, Calcium Disodium Edta And Sulfiting Agent To Preserve Freshness.

You may want to call Kraft to determine whether or not it really is gluten free before eating it again. Could it maybe have been something else that you reacted to? Lemon juice is acidic and could have caused your reaction, unlikely, but possible. Hope your mouth is feeling better!

I think cotton mouth is more of an allergic type reaction. Could be your slightly allergic to one of the ingredients?

It does have carmel coloring. I think I read on this forum that you have to watch that, right?

How do we go about calling the company if there is no phone number on the product? Just google the company and get the number from their web site? Is that the easiest way?

The feeling started to go away this afternoon....but after our run tonight we ate at a bar/rest. and I had french fries that weren't breaded....but 20 minutes after I ate them...It's back. I'm sure they don't use different grease, but didn't think I was that sensitive to a small amount. This is not going to be easy!!

Kraft makes A-1 and they wouldn't hide gluten. The sauce should be okay.

Any amount of gluten, even if it doesn't make you sick, WILL likely do damage to your body. It's very important to stick to the gluten free diet and be strict about it. There are just way too many things that could happen if you don't stick to it that could cause life-long problems. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, I just know how important it is to stick closely to the diet.

Good luck! I hope you feel better soon.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
