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.

don't have the list in front of me at 4:10 am ;) but if you don't have the list, let me know and i'll look it up in am.

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 do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
