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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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. :(

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.

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) ;)

      I made it through the holiday w/o being glutened. I had my brother cook with gluten-free breadcrumbs and I didn't get sick. I baked cookies with gluten-free flour and had dry ingredients for cookies in ziplock bag. I also made gluten cookies as well and guess I did good washing to avoid CC.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      What do you mean it would not allow any celiac to eat gluten again. I think if this helps cross contamination when eating out at a non dedicated gluten-free restaurant this would be nice not to encounter the pains. But is their a daily enzyme to take to help strengthen the digestive system?

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note:...

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Am I nuts?

      By GlorietaKaro · Posted

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—
