I had a blood test done about a year ago, so I know I'm gluten/wheat intolerant. I also know I have a not so bad intolerance to lactose. I used to get panic/anxiety attacks quite often when I didn't know I was GI, probably because I was always eating gluten. Anyway, I was wondering if it's possible for me to be allergic/intolerant to anything else because I still get panic attacks (and I'm pretty sure that's a symptom) but not as often. What are the symptoms of other intolerances such as corn, rice? ...ummm i can't think of any others.

Thanks,

Ellen

You could be reacting to other foodstuffs that you have intolerances to. But have you checked to make sure you are not getting any hidden gluten in your diet? Check your processed foods, salad dressings, etc. Also check to make sure you are not having cross contamination issues. If there are gluten eaters in your house, then make sure you have separate dishes, butter, toaster, etc for your non gluten items. Make sure that if you go out to eat, to figure out what they are serving you to make sure you're not accidentally glutened. A pain, I know...but these could still cause your symptoms.

You can also have Enterolab test to see if there is still gluten in your system...

Just a start. I'm sure others will have even better advice than I! This is a great resource. :D

I don't think you'd need separate dishes (as long as they're not wood, scratched up plastic, or unsealed ceramic).

I make sure to check everything. I know almost all the forbidden foods/additives by heart and I know most of the things gluten can be hidden in. BUT..vinegar. Do you know if it's safe? What about distilled or white wine vinegar? I've been having honey-dijon dressing on my salads for almost a week now.

Ingredients:

water, sugar, cultured buttermilk, canola oil, dijon mustard (distilled vinegar, mustard seed, salt, water, white wine, citric acid, turmeric, tartaric acid, spices), cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, honey, salt xanthan gum, maltodextrin, modified corn starch, lemon juice concentrate.

The only thing I'm not sure about is the vinegars.

What's an Enterolab test?

Cider & white wine vinegar (with no additives) are for sure okay, since no grain is involved. There's dispute about the distilled grain (white) vinegar, though most folks can tolerate it, some can't. Malt vinegar is definitely out. Flavored vinegars are iffy. I just found out that some "Balsamic" vinegars are flavored so read the label. The pure Balsamic from Modena is okay, & the really expensive ones, but some of the cheaper ones are flavored. Rice vinegar (unflavored) is okay.

As the distilled vinegar in your dressing is just from the mustard, there is probably only a tiny amount in there, so unless you are super-sensitive I'd say it's probably safe.

That's helpful. Thanks =)

You might want to eliminate all dairy products, egg whites, yeast, casein, whey, modified food starch and maltodextrin. Those are what I've learned I'm unable to tolerate over the past few years. Welda Lou

=( that means I could only have fruits, veggies, and meat w/o any bbq sauce (i can't have bbq sauce anyway though)...I'd be super limited. I'll try it and see how i feel.

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By trents · Posted

      As I suspected, xanthan gum is one of the ingredients. It is a polysaccharide used as a texturing agent in many gluten-free products. It's hard to digest and causes distress for many celiacs. I can't say for sure if that was the problem but you might be on the lookout for it in the future. Muscle spasms can be caused by magnesium deficiency. Are you taking any vitamin and mineral supplements? I mean some things more potent than a multivitamin?

      Hello @Suze046 In the western world 40 to 60 percent are low or deficient in Vitamin D.  Malabsorption from Celiac Disease, avoidance of UV from the sun and seasonal variations can result in low vitamin D.  A simple 25(OH)D test will tell you your status.  Low vitamin D affects immune system, bone health, mental health.  I keep mine around 80 ng/ml (200 nmol/L). Choline has many functions in our body.  From the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine to fat digestion.  It is made by our bodies but in insufficient amount.  The major dietary source is from beef and eggs.  The RDA is 500 mg a day.  That would be equivelant to 3 eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Choline is a significant portion of biliary phospholipids and is a crucial element for bile function.n.  I found taking Phosphatidly Choline capsules helps.  A homocysteine test can be indicative of choline deficiency.  Could we be overlooking a potential choline crisis in the United Kingdom?

      @trents thank you so much for your response!  When i was diagnosed, I was exhibiting mainly joint pain, hair loss, bloating, and allodynia (painful feeling from non painful stimuli). The muscle spasms only started after diagnosis, and it seems to only happen when I am severely glutened. It’s only happened twice, but it definitely makes me nervous when it happens.    In regard to the pizza, thats what i saw after i got sick from it. I’m still trying to figure out how to switch to ALL certified gluten-free goods.    for the dressing, here is the ingredient list:  WATER, VEGETABLE OIL, VINEGAR, SUGAR, GARLIC, SALT, RED BELL PEPPER, ONION, CONCENTRATED LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM, POTASSIUM SORBATE, HERBS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA, MONOACETIN, SPICES. and the link: https://www.kraftheinz.com/en-CA/kraft/products/00068100903577-zesty-italian-salad-dressing

      Welcome to the forum, @annamarie6655! Are the muscle spasms and joint aches a new pattern of reaction to gluten or have you experienced these in the past? Concerning DeGiorno's "gluten-free" pizza, we have had many reports from celiac.com members of gluten reactions from consuming this product. I believe it is one of those "gluten-free" products that is made from wheat (speaking of the crust component) that has been processed in such a way as to remove most of the gluten. The FDA regs allow food companies to use the claim "gluten-free" as long as the product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This works for most celiacs but not for those on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. There is another industry standard known as "Certified Gluten-Free" that is stricter, requiring no more than 10ppm of gluten. Certified Gluten-Free products use the "GFCO" logo. Concerning the salad dressing, could you list the ingredients in another post or link it? There are certain other ingredients besides gluten commonly used in gluten-free manufactured food items to give them acceptable textures that give a lot of celiacs problems.

      Hello, so I was diagnosed with Celiacs about 8 months ago. After being diagnosed, I have been trying very hard to maintain a completely gluten-free (and celiac safe) diet.  Two of the main times I had a huge reaction, it was from: - gluten-free Digiorno Pizza w Pepperoni - Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing (this was in canada if that changes anything) Both are marked as gluten-free. Following eating these items, I had a severe bout of diarrhea, uncontrollable and heavy muscle spasms throughout my whole body, and aching throughout every joint.   If these are both gluten-free, why would I be reacting to them? Should I be worried about a separate allergy?  In regards to the muscle spasms, should I follow up with someone about that?
