I've never heard this so I hope it is not true because I eat ALOT of mushrooms, raw and cooked.

[Lisa]

No problem with store bought mushrooms....don't know about mushrooms in the woods, some are poisonous.

[CarlaB]

I've never had a problem with mushrooms.

[amybeth]

I definitely - and consistently react to mushrooms. But I never thought it'd be related to celiac disease. I just avoid them. Sounds like it varies from person to person - interesting, though.

[AndreaB]

I haven't had a problem with mushrooms. I was one of those people that didn't have any obvious symptoms before gluten free. Now I know when I've been glutened.

not sure if its completly connected, but my main trigger for my sickness was mushrooms. i was drugged by some friends with a 8th of magic mushrooms(they slipt it into my drink) after that day i had lots of stomic problems for a few months and then i got really really sick, all is better for me now but, some of the mushrooms got logged into a stool thats still sindie me and slowly leeks into my system, so everyday i get slightly poisind as it works its way out

I haven't personally noticed a problem with mushrooms. I'm interested to know why they would say that though.

Years ago I was found to be allergic to mushrooms so stay away from them. Also when I doctored for candida I was told not to eat them. Could that be the connection? evie

[Daxin]

I've also never had a problem with mushrooms, and it's a good thing. I love 'em!

[lorka150]

people who have candida (which can be associate with celiac) are to stay away from mushrooms because of the yeast.

Ok,I found out.

Mushroom is rich in valine,a branched amino acid. and when you have celiac you have a week digestive system,and you should not make youe digestive system weeker .branched amino acids makes extra work for digestive system,(according to that Norwegian sceintist).

That's interesting. I have never heard that before.

I have no idea where KelBelle got that misinformation, but there is no gluten in any mushroom, at least not as we use the term. Prepared foods containing mushrooms could have gluten in them from another ingredient, but the mushrooms themselves are gluten-free. Period.

She got it from the above link. I had a hard time finding the quote and had to read it a couple of times. I think the gluten reference may come from the lengthy talk about ergot fungus but I could be wrong. There are also more than one form of gluten, corn gluten for example, so perhaps that is what is being spoken about.

I do heartedly agree that mushrooms are gluten safe, as far as the type of gluten we worry about goes.

[moldlady]

Mushrooms should not be a gluten issue. It is a fungus issue. Some may be safe, some are dangerous, and a few actually are medicinal.

Excuse me, but this is the Celiac Disease Forum, not the Twilight Zone.

I have a copy of a recipe here that mentions that anyone sensitive to gluten should cut out the gills prior to consumption. The reason is not that anyone is saying that mushrooms naturally have gluten, but the gills are sticky and the possibility of them having gluten stuck to them is a possibility if you do not know for sure what medium they were grown in. Obviously this is not going to apply to every single mushroom type. It really shouldn't be any different than anything else we eat. Know your source. If it doesn't bother you, great. If it does, there's always the chance that there was CC.
