Potato

Hi,

I get bloated when I eat potatoes a lot, (every day) anyone else with Celiac Disease notice this too? I am avoiding restaurant (i.e. French fried) varieties, as these may have been cross contaminated. If I do not eat them everyday I seem to do better with them…

Thanks for your reply,

:unsure:

Many of us have problems with the nightshade family, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers (the veggie not the spice)and eggplant. If you get the same reaction to potatoes at home I would look into that. If the problem is only after eating in a restautant your issue is most likely the CC. I hjave a nightshade intolerance and am able to have a little bit of the family as long as it is not more than 2 days in a row.

The funnny thing is I don't seem to have a problem with the rest of the nightshade family, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant. Maybe if I eat a lot of jalepeno, or chilli pepper seeds I get a little bit stuffed up, but that is it. <_<

are you getting sick or just bloated?? potatoes contain alot of startch and will give you gas ( i have noticed this as well) i try to have a baked potato every other day, and on thoes days i have constant gas feelings ( like i can feel the gas inside me moving around) its the startch, if its not making you physicaly ill or in pain then i would say your probably not intollarent to the nightshade family, but if its making you sick i would advice maybe removing for a few days and then eating them again and see what happens

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?

      @Jmartes71, Been here.  It's okay.  You're not imagining things, but there's no bugs or parasites in your skin.  The cats are not infecting you with anything.  That's a hyperkeratotic plug that builds up in a hair follicle which does go deep and is attached by the hair sheath that looks stringy.  It's a type of thing seen commonly in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.   Niacin B 3, in the form Nicotinic Acid (active form that causes flushing) or in the form Niacinamide will help immensely with clearing this up.  Take 100 mg three times a day, and Tryptophan (another form of Niacin) to help you sleep and heal your intestines at night.   Kidney stones can result when the body doesn't have sufficient Thiamine B 1.   Are you taking a B Complex supplement?  The eight B vitamins are water soluble.  Many people with Celiac Disease benefit by taking a B Complex to boost absorption.   The cloves are great because they can reduce inflammation, but your body needs the Bs and extra Niacinamide as well.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine B 1, is also needed in higher doses to heal the intestines.  If you get your intestines calmed down, your skin will calm down, too.  Benfotiamine has anticancer potential in higher doses.

      Hello everyone! I am very glad to be a part of this group. I want to share a bit about my celiac journey and hear from you as well. I was diagnosed when I was around 19-20 with a confirmed blood test and biopsy. I am now 28 and since my diagnosis, I have been strictly gluten-free. I have discovered over the years many new intolerances to foods, not to mention bad joint pain and skin issues, which led me to going on the carnivore diet. I don't eat dairy, sugar, or grains, except for rice/rice flour crackers, which seems to be the only substitute I can tolerate. I feel pretty good most of the time, but every so often I have what I consider to be a "celiac flare", which always follows the same pattern: I get a mild stomachache that gets progressively worse, followed by nausea, vomiting, and severe abdominal pain that lasts hours. What is strange to me is that I didn't have as severe symptoms as I do now before my celiac diagnosis, when I still actively eating gluten, even though I felt crummy and had synotoms. Has anyone else experienced symptoms like this? I am so careful with what I eat and I never eat out. As I was looking around on the forum here, I found a post where someone asked about airborne gluten and subsequent reactions. My mom likes to feed the birds bread, and I was helping her toss bread around. Could even touching gluten or breathing it in result in a reaction like what I had? I wash my hands and keep everything separated in the kitchen, of course. It is just very frustrating, because I am so careful and when I have these flares, the pain is debilitating. Any advice or experiences you have had would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God bless.

      I am currently 28 and was diagnosed when I was 19-20.  I am strictly gluten free and dairy free, grain free etc. I just had to say that I had a horrible reaction to quinoa when I tried it as an alternative. It was certified gluten-free quinoa noodles. I couldn't even finish the bowl of food before I started to feel sick. I had trouble breathing and threw up. It was one of the most severe reactions I have ever had, so I have never eaten it again. Since cutting out gluten, I feel that over the years I have developed new intolerances to foods. I eventually went on the carnivore diet which helped me a lot. I no longer have joint pain and my skin is better. I would recommend trying carnivore, because even foods that you think aren't affecting you could be, especially sugar, natural or otherwise.
