Help! Do Mushrooms Bother Anyone?

Hi!

I am desparately trying to figure out what's caused some symptoms to come back that had been GONE for months! Lower Back pain, food in stool, GI stuff...) Do mushrooms cause trouble for anyone? Also, just finished a round of Zithromax for bronchial infection and I guess that could have screwed me up, but it seems like not this much. I am afraid I'm going right back to the beginning again and very depressed. Can't seem to find any source of a glutening. Thanks for any help.

As far as gluten in concerned I have never had a problem with them, I eat alot of them. But, I have got sick before because the mushrooms were bad, so it may be that. Hope you get to feeling better. The Z pack always effects me so I do not use them anymore.

I was just on antibiotics for an absessed tooth and they made me really really sick, just like gluten. I wasn't eating anything but fluids, my mouth was so messed up I couldn't chew so theres no way I got gluten, but it was just like it. Took a few days for me to stop feeling sick.

mushrooms are a fungal maybe thats what is upsetting you because they are interfering with your tummys natural balance if you get what i mean, its kind of like those probiotic drinks but mushrooms got bad fungal or so im told, i suffer badly with thrush and was told to stay away from them as they contain bad bacteria which helps bad things grow in your belly, its kind of the same thing with antibiotics ( there fungal right) how many times have we had thrush from a coarse of antbiotics. :blink::angry: it makes sense when you think about it. dont know ig there is any proper evidence to back it up tho.

Jennyj, Elonwy and Taz-

Thank you very much. I suspect the antis have me "off". Also have weird fuzzy feeling in back of my throat that seems to come and go these days- hate it. Maybe my whole system is out of whack. I'll just soldier on and hope it gets back at least to where I was. Thank you so much!

You may have the good bacteria killed off in your intestines from the antobiotics. May need to take some acidophilus caps for a few months to get the good ones back. anyone who has a mold allergy needs to stay away from mushrooms or any other type of mold. that cam bring on the 'thrush or other versions of candida'. "Been there, done that" I am so glad I have not had bronchitis yet this summer from mold or etc, inhalant allergies, seems like I have improved that way since being gluten free. That is so wonderful!! :rolleyes: Best of luck to you all too. :):D:) evie

Thank you, Evie- I used to test positive to mold allergy, but this spring was negative. Gosh, who knows? But that makes some sense in regard to the mushrooms. I am taking the probiotics as well. Thank you so much for your thoughts!

HI ocean girl

I know this is an old thread and I don't kno if you'll even get this message but I thought I would try. I'm new to this site. finding it very supportive to read all of everyones stories that are so like my own. I had a glutened type reaction to mushrooms and talked to my dr. He said that mushrooms have a protein in them that can be hard to digest. I used to eat them like crazy, but the purer I get the more i react to different things I used to be able to eat. The fungal thing is also an issue. Hoping to add them back in some day. Hope for you it was more the Antibiotics and your able to eat them again. Lin

Lin,

Thank you! I have just seen this post at last and I thank you very much! I hope I can add them back someday, too. Good luck to you!

so, i always wondered about this also, figured it was just the yeast that bothered me. I was watching television this morning and saw this:

Lavendeldame,

Hi! Wow, here's a blast from the past! Thank you for your information posted today. That is tres interesting. I wonder if the gliadin molecule actually gets near the growing mushroom. These are the kind of scientific questions that make me wish I had a head for organic chemistry! From what I currently understand, it is deep inside the wheat germ and that's the part protected within the seed? Don't quote me; I'm asking, actually, because I forget all of this stuff sometimes. Sad, I know, the daughter of a biologist and chemist-sigh.

Mushrooms are a fungus, and many people can't eat fungus foods. Long before I knew about gluten, I had problems with mushrooms. Not even 20 minutes, and I would get so sick from mushrooms.

I have not been able to tolerate mushrooms for years. I would wake up a few hours after eating them and lie awake in pain until they passed. I was told by someone that mushrooms (particularly the fancier ones, not the plain white supermarket ones) contain mild toxins. I always figured it was that and haven't dared to eat a mushroom since. I was diagnosed with celiac last winter and forgot to mention this to the GI. I have wondered if once my digestive tract was healed, I would be able to tolerate mushrooms. From most of the answers on this thread, it seems not...

Over 4 years in, I now tolerate mushrooms but not lots and lots- in moderation.

Mushrooms make me sick (not you, mushroom ;-)). I used to be able to eat them and then I realized that everytime I ate them I felt sick. I started eating these veggie burgers at a local restaurant and would get sick after eating them. Didn't realize they had mushrooms in them at the time. Once I figured that out it totally made sense why they made me sick. I stay away. If I end up eating something made with cream of mushroom soup, I'm usually ok, but anything else with mushrooms and I feel awful.

Just thought I'd add in that mushrooms are a problematic food for people with FODMAP problems, as they contain mannitol, which is a sugal alcohol like sorbitol. It's a type of poorly digested complex sugar. It could easily cause classic GI problems like bloating. I was always fine with a small amount of them, but never like mushrooms enough to have a big serve.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
