Simple Organic Pudding & Pie Filling (issue?)

Hi! I'm new to this board and was diagnosed with Celiac about six months ago. My life has completely changed about my new diet, but occasional mistakes happen. I wanted to ask about one in particular.

One of the biggest differences I've noticed on a gluten-free diet is the loss of some very troubling seizures. I can't actually remember their specific name...something long...I'd have an almost out-of-body experience. My whole body would tingle, I'd forget my name, and who I was, and wouldn't recongnize any but the very closest of family members. The whole experience would last for approx. 30 seconds, but I'd be so tired I would fall asleep for hours afterwards, and my personality would be changed for about a half day. Incredibly and wonderfully, they completely disappeared.

However, I tried one new food about two days ago, and I suffered three very bad seizures. After drinking eight or nine glasses of water and sleeping off and on for two days, I'm recovered...but shaken.

The food I tried was Simple Organics Butterscotch Pudding that I purchased from Vitamin Cottage. I had tried the Vanilla flavor before with no problem, but after eating the Butterscotch, was thrown right back into my pre gluten-free diet symptoms. One of the ingredients is caramel color, which I have tried to avoid, because I have had averse symptoms drinking a Caramel Macchiato (I'm a Starbucks Barista)

I tried looking up the ingredients online, but couldn't find the specific flavor. Any thoughts on the caramel color, this brand, or has anyone else experienced anything adverse like this?

Thanks,

Fionnghuala

From what I understand, caramel color may or may not contain gluten. It's best to contact the manufacturer of the item ahead of time.

If you don't want to give up butterscotch pudding, try the Dr. Oetker cooked pudding and pie filling, the Butterscotch is free of gluten, milk, eggs, and all nuts!!!!

and it is wonderful....makes great pudding pops too!!!

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
