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!

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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
