Arg! First Definite Glutening Since Dx

[BRUMI1968]

I'm 99% sure I got glutened late today. Funny thing is, the only reason I can come up with is that I ate some sliced avocado from a friend's salad from her home. I didn't even think of cc at her house. Otherwise, I've only eaten safe things today (beet greens, poached egg, sunflower seeds...then chicken meat [which is gluten-free and which I've been eating for a week at least] with avocado, mustard [gluten-free], raw sauerkraut [gluten-free], and lettuce.

AHHHHH.

Actually, my stomach is mildly bugged - but I took a three hour nap with horrible nightmares, and I have at least two monsterous canker sores.

Well, not too bad for two and a half months off the evil gluten. Still...I wish I could eat something yummy right now, instead of being pretty sure I shouldn't put anything in this delicate stomach.

Sorry you got glutened. It's unavoidable that it happens sooner or later. I hope you will feel better soon.

I found it to be a bit of a shock, it really hurt when I got glutened after being gluten free for only two and a half weeks. I hope you feel better soon.

Oddly, it turned out to the be Amazake Rice/Almond shake that got me. I'm not sure it was gluten, though. They don't make anything with gluten in it - so I don't know how that would be it. But the next day I had ONE SIP of another one I had - and right away was covered in canker sores. I felt like I had been MSG'd. Thankfully, just one sip and I felt better w/i a half hour or so.

Oh well. I won't be drinking those anymore. I'm waiting for my food panel to come back, so maybe it was something else.

bully, what is amazake rice/almond shake and what is in it? I was going to suggest it was maybe the sourkraut. If you have MSG reactions chances are you'll react to aged or fermented foods. It usually goes hand in hand.

Interesting. I've been ejoying the sauerkraut for a few days w/o reaction. I do CRAVE it, which is odd.

The rice/almond shake has: brown rice, almonds, almond flavor, and brown rice syrup - but it is claimed to be gluten-free, and I've not had a problem with it before. They also make one called Tiger Chai, which I do have problems with, though more from the tea/spices on my empty stomach. This time it was more canker sores and amazing yuckyness.

I'm not sure. But since I wasn't eating any grains at all and the rice shake is based on grains, it was really just a treat anyway.

I'll watch the sauerkraut - do a test. All it has in it is cabbage and sea salt, but obviously it has been fermented. I'll eat a bunch of it for dinner and see what happens. Hopefully nothing!
