Sooo Sick

Today I went to my mothers house as we do every Sunday during the summer. We had our usual cookout. Todays menu consisited of london broil (marinated), broccoli salad (I made that), fresh corn on the cob and thats it. Earlier I had carrots with veggie dip that i eat all the time, and pistachios.

That being said, it wasnt a half hour after dinner, the rumblings began. I rushed to the bathroom.. the pain was awful, felt like my stomach was being ripped out. I could feel my lower stomach rumble and bubble with the gas.

We left there quickly, good thing I only live 2 minutes from her. I barely made it in the door. I was upstairs laying in bed wishing for a quick death! The agony. Boy after a few months of being realtively gluten free (just CC issues here and there), this was awful.

I ended up having to take some heavy duty pain meds to help. So the pain eventually subsided a bit, but the D and vomiting are still bad!! I cant believe this! I cant win! Yes I am having a pity party.. Thanks for listening

Are you sure it was gluten? I had a bout of food poisoning recently that was pretty similar in effect. Or is your mom one of the ones who doesn't believe in cc, that sort of thing?

Leah

Oh! And I just remembered, years ago I got food poisoning from some raw broccoli. I'd never heard of such a thing but I was told... how do I put this delicately... sometimes the field hygiene is not so good...

Was the meat marinated in soy sauce? It could have had wheat in it.

Yes I am pretty sure it was gluten. All the signs are here. And I still feel absolutely awful.

The meat was marinated in soy sauce. It was La Choy, which is gluten free.

My question is, Hormel Bacon Bits? Are they gluten free?

And another question... is the cooking spray Pam gluten free? My boyfriend wants to know that. We currently use Mazola Pure and are quite happy with that. Just curious.

I'm so sorry about your illness :ph34r:

I have read that there are 'proablems' with some baccon bits but not sure of hormel. do you have the delphi list might ck there.

i use canola oil spray from Acme and it's ok.

Have you had the La Choy marinade before. not sure about it.

Actually I dont have a copy of the Delphi list.. I would appreciate any help

According to the Hormel web site, Bacon Bits are gluten-free. Pam is gluten-free, based on the label, it's a ConAgra company and they clearly label. The one that isn't gluten-free is obviously the baking one with flour in it.

Do they grill anything with gluten (burger buns, for example) on the grill?

<_< I had similar symptoms and got a hint from someone on this forum that they had figured out corn was the problem. So I got off off corn and thank them every day. I used to eat corn on the cob and 30 minutes later I ran to the toilet. Hope this helps. Russell

Are the London Broils gluten-free? My mom's butcher has confirmed that hers are, but they are wrapped with bacon.

chgomom Enthusiast

Hey mee too tonight...I just posted about my woes....

I swaer sometimes you try try try and think you're doing all the right stuff...and you get your rear end kicked. I would look at what was in the marinade....check the oil or any vinegar....

Sorry you're feeling bad

Sorry you're so sick!!!

As for Pam (original), I stopped using it because it has "grain alcohol" in it. I'm not entirely certain if that is a problem, but it seems like it would be. I switched to Mazola and have been fine with it.

Good luck recovering!!!

lorka150 Collaborator

pam is gluten-free. i used to use it way when when i first went gluten-free and called. the grain is not wheat/rye/barley/oats derived. i believe it was corn, but i know it is gluten-free.

Beef should be gluten-free, as long as they don't cross-contaminate it with stuffing or breading used in the area - which can very well happen. Bacon and marinade can be a problem. If you want something like this, you should probably buy some beef and bacon you know are safe and put it together it at home. I prefer a dry rub to a marinade. It leaves all the beef flavor while adding savory seasoning.

rinne Apprentice

Grain alcohol is a problem, even very small quantities - less than 1/4 teaspoon, for me. I know they say it shouldn't be but it is.

I'm sorry you got glutened, feeling that way myself. :(

TinkerbellSwt Collaborator

Thank you everyone. Today I still feel yucky, very tired out, and just blah. But I am doing better than yesterday. The marinade my mom used was sesame oil and soy sauce (la choy) The only other thing we can think of is that my mom cleaned the grates on the grill with Easy Off oven cleaner. Would this do it?

And I did eat corn on the cob too. It finally was a good one this year! I dont seem to have trouble with any other type of corn, as in from a can or frozen.

wacky~jackie Rookie

I'm a newbie and I have a question about being glutened. Do you have immediate symptoms - while you're eating- or does it take awhile? I was at a family reunion and ate something that I thought would be gluten-free and was eating it very slowly. I started having stomach pains and rumbling. Is this "normal"? (I know that's a relative term) ;)

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
