Arg! First Definite Glutening Since Dx

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!

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
