woke uthis morning feeling a bit sicky, shruged it off but by the afternoon had D and bad belly withdizzyness(never had that b4), shaking, felt like i was going to throw( again never had that) brain fog. it was awfull. never felt as abd as that b4 was wondering if it was a side effect of beging gluten-free, whether you can get a sort of hyper sensetivity to gluten cos you are not haveing it in your diet anymore, went back to yesterday to remember what i ate and i know i didnt eat G the only thing i can think of was CC but that leaves me being quite sensetive, quite upset cos i really been makeing effort with this new diet and i fell worse now than b4. has anyone else had this?

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. It does get miserable sometimes. I got much more sensitive after going gluten-free and feel like you do when I get glutened. After 5 months of this, I've learned so much and it doesn't happen very often anymore. Be sure you're getting enough fluids because dehydration will make it worse. Hugs, Carla

BTW, I found after four months that I could not tolerate dairy. I kept thinking I was getting glutened by cc, but it ended up being the dairy. You may have another intolerance that's just starting to show up now that you're getting somewhat better. You might keep a food diary to see if it's something other than the gluten.

I had a very bad tummy several days ago. I thought I might've been glutened, but it could've been that the gluten-free pancakes I had eaten (Cravings Place) were so sticking to the pan, that I had to use copious amounts of coconut oil. I think I greased myself out. Not to mention I hardly ever eat pancakes (never, now) and also had strawberries, a bit acid for my brekkers.

I know it's probably different - it didn't last more than a couple hours - but I don't think it was gluten. I just lay down and held perfectly still for a couple hours and it faded, thankfully.

Good luck. I hope you feel better!

i am dairy intolernt, it was diagnosed together so im pretty carefull about the 2 of them. although i get a bit confused about the casien, i know its the protien but i still dont know if its safe for me so i stay clear. feeling better today and by 9pm was a whole lt better. think i might have a go at cutting wheat out too, i generally try to but am not so careful about it as the G but i think it will pay to from now on. it really shook me up tho cos i never had a reaction like that b4 and it scared me, i was really frightend.

I'm a bit confused that you say you might cut out wheat, too? Gluten is in wheat, I don't see how you could have had anything with wheat without glutening yourself?

I hope you feel better soon!

I think in Europe they think wheat starch is okay. Taz, I'd cut out the wheat for sure. I got glutened off charcoal last Sunday. Charcoal has wheat starch in it. I cooked at home, so the charcoal was the only thing it could have been.

What do you mean you were G'd by charcoal - did you eat it? or you mean cooking over it? Do I have to avoid BBQing my salmon?

Yea, I cooked over it. There's a thread that was posted this week about charcoal, you could search if you wanted to see it. Apparently, charcoal has wheat starch, so we need to use natural charcoal, or I would assume that a gas grill would be okay. I didn't get as sick as I normally do, but I have a very itchy rash on my scalp ... I'm going to set up an appt. with a dermatologist, hopefully he can see me before it's gone. I'd like to get it biopsied.

i was allways told that you could be ok with wheat if your G but some people do have intolerance to it which i think is probable. ive cut out wheat now but its difficult here cos they will label things here gluten-free but they could contain wheat, they dont consider wheat to be gluten. its very confuseing. im not sure im getting this right but hopefully someone from the uk will see this thread and put me on the straight and narrow.

Oh dear, no, no, no! Wheat ALWAYS means gluten though gluten doesn't always mean wheat.

I'm not sure about UK labelling, but I'm 100% sure that wherever you are, if there is wheat in anything it cannot by definition be gluten-free.

In the US if it says gluten-free, it doesn't always say wheat-free, but it is by definition. Whereas if it only says wheat-free, it could still have barley, rye or oats, thus not be gluten-free.

Whoever gave you the info that wheat is okay is a very unreliable source; I'd steer clear in the future!

My understanding is that in the UK the gluten-free products are not necessarily gluten-free. They are labeled that way based on parts per million. Here in the states, so far, gluten-free means no gluten. Stay away from anything with wheat as it just means it has less gluten, not no gluten -- it meets the parts per million requirements there. I know I personally have zero tolerance, so I wouldn't want something with merely a low gluten level, I want NO gluten.

Taz,

here's the deal: Gluten is the protein in wheat, barley and rye. Starch is not protein but, well, starch. Those are two differents stuffs that make up wheat.

NOT ALL wheat starch is considered gluten free, only wheat starch that is produced to a certain standard, where the starch has been separated from the gluten well enough that there's only a very small amount of gluten left. It's not completely free of gluten but the amounts are so small that some people consider it safe. It's not safe for me for example, I do get sick from it. It's certainly not healthy to just eat something that has ordinary wheat starch in it, that will make you sick for sure! You should avoid everything that has wheat as an ingredient.

If you want to be sure that you're gluten free, you should avoid gluten free products that have wheat starch as an ingredient. You can still have the other gluten free products, funnily enough the standard for those is quite strict. Don't have the numbers right here though.

Hope this made it a bit clearer!

BTW - what is the standard for "gluten free" on labels in the US?

I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
