Have I Been Glutened?

I had my evening meal about an hour ago and within a short space of time (about 20 mins) felt so exhausted that I felt drugged and I also got palppitations. Starting to feel a bit more alive now. I've not had any GI reactions (yet). Everything I ate I've had before. I'm wondering whether it's a cc issue or casein maybe (although I'm pretty sure I've not reacted like that to casein previously). The reason I think it might be gluten, despite me being 100% careful making my meal, is that I used to get palpitations all the time in the last few months before going gluten-free.

Any thoughts?

What did you have for dinner? I often feel dazed and drugged after being glutened....I would think that it may be the culprit, but it's hard to say without knowing what may have caused it...

I had gluten-free toast, ham (GFDF) & strawberries. I'm suspecting the ham as being cc given that it was processed.

Out of all of that I would suspect the ham first too.....is there any chance you could have an allergy to the strawberries?

I heard a show on tv stating that strawberries are in the top 10 of allergens people can have! I had no idea that they were like that. So maybe it was the berries.

I have heard that too! I haven't heard it about strawberries in particular, but that a lot of people have an allergy to berries in general!

I don't know if I'm technicaly allergic to strawberries, but I avoid them because they cause GI as well as skin symptoms for me. Nothing major, but I don't eat them thinking if I do, it will get worse.

Interesting. I've never reacted to strawberries before, as far as I can recall. Both my sister in law and my brother in law are allergic to them, so it doesn't surprise me to hear that they are in the top 10 allergens.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
