I literally made an account and found this page again just so I could get the word out for my fellow Celiac fish lovers. I did a major tank change and I had my arm in my fish tank on and off for hours yesterday and my skin is on fire my head hurts so bad I'm nauseous and weak. I washed my arm as soon as I was done but it wasn't enough. And I don't have arm length gloves. I just got over a month-long flare up so you can imagine my frustration to wake up feeling crappy again.. And I'm on a very very strict gluten-free diet I do not go out to eat anymore everything is certified. I used to have a brand of fish food that didn't have wheat gluten in it at the least and that brand put wheat in it.. I could not find the food anywhere. It's non existent except... I might have found the food. I'm ordering it I can update on whether my fish like it and if so this will be my go-to.

It's actually fairly cheap really simple healthy ingredients. Shipping was five something I was afraid shipping was going to hurt. So I mean it's not your McDonald's of food so you're not going to pay McDonald's prices lol but you look up the grain free they have a bunch of grain free options. I don't know about the contaminants but I know it can't be as bad as my fish food that has the third ingredient being wheat gluten. Please give it a try and if it works out for you please spread the word because fish don't like gluten it's not good for them, wheat is not good for them. Barley is not good for them so for your health and their's spread the word!

I doubt fish evolved to eat gluten, so this makes sense. Just be sure to watch for any signs of infection because my uncle caught a severe infection when working on his outside fish pond. Your symptoms may be due to gluten exposure, but it's also possible it could be something else.

In case anybody randomly sees this I have been using the grain-free fish food from your fish stuff for almost a year. My fish love it I can stick my arm and my tank without getting sick. It's cheap it's works it's good it's healthy! There are so many different options. I use the betta food even though I don't have any bettas anymore and all my fish love it even the algae eaters but I got algae ones for them as well which is also green free. Simple ingredients I couldn't be happier! It's a miracle

I hear you and I am aware of all the things that could be going on in my fish tank LOL it is not an easy Hobby or cheap but when it's clear as day those are the symptoms that I only get when I have a loaf of bread on my counter and since I switched the food, change the tank, the entire tank, I don't get sick anymore when I stick my arm in there. It's like salt it doesn't get filtered out so it was building up forever, I had grain-free prior and it wasn't a problem and then I couldn't find it anymore. But yeah you can straight catch tuberculosis from sticking your hand in a fish tank without knowing what diseases are going on.

This is another option I found. My son just started a tank and I’m hoping this is a safer option for him to use. They had free same day delivery.

      How to keep water down?

      Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

      How to keep water down?

      Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the...

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.

      Feeling ill

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!
