Could This Be The Culprit

Hi Everyone, Well today we went to a town about 1 hour from home to shop as I live in a small town pop.1000. On the way we stopped at Dairy Queen and not really thinking I ordered a Buster Bar and ate it. By the time we got to the store about 20 minutes later I had to find a bathroom and there it was. Same ole problem. Felt like I ate a box of laxatives instead of Buster Bar. Does anyone know for sure is this is the culprit or do I need to figure out what else might be causing this. Hidden dangers are all around I guess and I should have found out before opening my big mouth to eat it. If there is a lesson in this it is always check first or you might not make it to a bathroom. Don't feel too bad now but really bloaty feeling and stiffness back full force. Thanks for letting me vent and if someone knows about Buster bars let me know please.

Do you think you're casein intolerant, or do buster bars have gluten in them?

I did a search, and it looks like the Buster bar contains crushed oreo cookies! I say that should pose a problem. :wacko:

Ursala, You are a saint! Thank you so much! How stupid of me! Well Goodbye Buster Bars!! Oh well I'll find another treat, Thanks again!

Hi, What exactly is casein? How do you know if you are intolerant of it? Yes, Ursala said Buster bars have oreo cookies in them. Well atleast I know my system really is getting better to react that strongly to something so fast. I used to just have a constant problem with loose stool :( but now I was normal in that department so prior to yesterday, I was doing things right!

Casein is the protein in milk. Some people with celiac disease are also allergic to casein.

Do eggs have casein? I seem to feel sick when eating the whites.

eggs are casein-free. you could have an egg intolerance through, or you could be allergic to egg whites. i believe that's fairly common.

I was reading about egg whites last night on www.mercola.com. Just search egg white. He says don't eat them. I'd post it for you but my computer skills need improving. This is a good site. LindaLee

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
