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.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
