What, Oh What, Am I Doing Wrong?

Hi all,

After being gluten-free for about a month,

I think I may have been glutened a week ago because I had to go out of town and eat at a restaurant. I tried really hard to pick non-G food. I developed really bad hemorrhoids, what seemed to me to be mild C, and having a hard time getting over those. It is taking so long that I'm wondering if I'm missing something in my diet.

Bread was a big staple for me before and now I've switched to corn. I'm eating veggies and fruits and nuts and mostly non-processed foods (oh, and I eat dairy too). Is it possible I need more fiber? Or does it take this long to get over being glutened? I quit taking vitamins because I don't know if mine are gluten free - could that affect it? Overall I'm feeling much better but this seems to be my body telling me I'm doing something wrong. Any advice would really help.

A lot of people are sensitive to corn and dairy. You could try getting off them for a couple weeks, then challenge to see if you are sensitive.

I agree

dairy does give me C (which aggrivates my hemmorhoids).

your body could still be adjusting to the change. but finding gluten-free vitamins would be good (many are), since your body is used to them.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation! After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right? Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it. She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom...

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Unfortunately, the development of celiac disease usually is not an end in and of itself. It usually brings along friends, given time. It is at heart an immune system dysfunction which often embraces other immune system dysfunctions as time goes on.

      Thanks so much for the responses. I will urge him to go for further investigation. To be 48yrs old and develop a new allergy.. ugh, As if celiac disease isn’t enough!

      This does not seem to be an anaphylactic response but I agree it would be wise to seek allergy-food sensitivity testing. You might look into ALCAT food sensitivity testing.

      @Celiacpartner, I agree with Scott. We have a food festival yearly in the town I live in, with artisan food stalls everywhere. I spoke to the owner of one of the artisan burger stalls, enquiring if the burgers were gluten-free when I said I was Coeliac ... he said he had a serious anaphylactic allergy to fish himself. He possibly carries an epi-pen or...

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By StuartJ · Posted

      Well, three months later and a startling revelation!  After going gluten free (and nearly bankrupt buying special foods), my wife made a lunch of meat potatoes and gravy made with Bertolli white sauce - no wheat there right?  Big flare up withing hours and I was really wiped out with it.  She rechecks the label on the sauce bottle and right at the bottom of the ingredients XANTHAN GUM. There's our #1 suspect again!  So by way of experimenting, she decided to try making a loaf of bread with just regular white flour like she used to do and see what happened; the familiar smell hit me when I walked in the door last night and I sat down to eat this still warm, fresh goodness - I thought even if I have to take Imodium sandwiches, it will be worth it 😋 No ill effects, either overnight or today!  Half the loaf is now gone because I had some for supper, saving just one last slice for breakfast in the morning` - I've used the bathroom once and that was normal, so maybe it is not the gluten after all? Can't wait to try a beer! 😁
