My son does not react to either that OJ or those hotdogs. Not tried that dressing though. YOu sures a gluten response, and are you sure that you avioded all other sourcse?

A few things...1st, 2 weeks is hardly anytime for being gluten-free and noticing a difference. Your body may still be 'working things out.' Also--it is not uncommon for Celiacs to miss certain forms of gluten when they are first on the diet, so you may need to revisit what is safe and what isn't. Are you sure you can tolerate sausage and chili--spices, tomatoes or beans? Also, kettle chips (Kettle brand, correct?) do not guarantee their chips are gluten-free--even if gluten is not in the ingredients due to cross contamination. Most companies will use that same CYA, but Kettle's response seemed more shady to me than most others when I checked, so I stopped eating their products. Salt and vinegar chips can be irritating to the stomach too--esp a bag and a half a day. This may not be a gluten issue--you just may need more time on the diet and/or need to revamp your diet a bit...make sure you can tolerate the foods you are eating. Hope you feel better!

I find that apple juice is very hard on a healing digestive system. Although I can drink it now, it still gives me problems now and then. Maybe try and find something with a little less acid content.

It does take quite awhile to heal your body, and you may still be getting traces of gluten through cross contamination. But also realize that a few foods are normally hard to digest and as you are not healed yet, they will cause some similiar problems.

Lay's Stax are gluten-free and made on gluten-free lines. They are similar to pringles and have lots of flavors. Ck out their gluten-free list here: Open Original Shared Link

The best chips of all though--to me :) Are Lundberg Rice chips--ever seen them in store? They regular ones are great with salsa-yum! And the Pico de Gallo taste like doritos--my husband even loves them :)Open Original Shared Link

I know there are some other safe chips, but those are the only ones I eat...so maybe some else will have some thoughts ;)

OH! PS--Good news for you--the Stacks come in a Salt and Vinegar flavor too! :P

OH YES! Just be warned...don't try them unless you want to be whipped by the chips :P The plain are my favs for salsa--so good! But like I said, the Pico de Gallo is good too--little spicy. Dh and friends really like them too--they are chips I always use for parties/salsa etc...b/c I can't tolerate the ones made just from corn. You should try them friend !

Several people here have mentioned feeling sick after kettle chips. I for one avoid them, because I felt sick several times after eating them.

Wendy's chili, I don't eat, but eating out can be risky. I wonder if anyone else has had a problem with their chili. THere may not be. I am just trying to come up with something for you. HOpe you feel better.

i thought everyone said stax make them sick?? well i guess i will pick some up when i get down to the store today

the chili i think does not bug me ever i have had it alot and felt fine most days and im really not feeling that bad today i think it was a mix of having to get up at 4 am for work and not getten a chance to eat any real food until 9:30am

im not like in pain from anything but i get these really really loud groumbls that come from like right below my heart it sounds like dripping or something and then in my lower left side. dont really know whats going on just figured maybe i got glutened im stil lreally new all of my bodys feelings have changed like when i have to use the restroom its a completly diffrent feeling then it was a month before i got sick. as for my head fog its almost cleared up today going in and out a big but im not feeling to bad, so i guess maybe i was not glutened could be i just ate something i was not ready for yet

i have only been gluten free for about 2 weeks with atleast 3 or 4 mistakes already. and i have been eating a cup of chili everyday for three days now so thats probably not helping its just so darn good and fast. how would you guys explain a gluten attack so i know when its happening to me?? anyone have the sea salt stacks? how did they make u feel.

as for those rice chips, yeah when i first got told i may have celiac and to eat gluten free i went to the co-op ( god i hate them there) anyways and that was the chips i found there those are really really good but there expensive

I've not had a problem with Wendy's chili. Frito Lay had a pretty extensive list of safe (gluten-free) products on their website. I read in someone else's posts that sausage can be a culprit because the spices can contain gluten and still be listed as "spices" or "natural flavors." I've also read that the guten reaction can be delayed up to 30 days, so it may still be your body trying to detox and not anything in particular from today.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.

Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
