Itching (but No Rash) After Glutening

Last night I went out to a local mexican joint, and ordered grilled chicken with rice and refried beans.

Last time I ate there I got sick, but I assumed it was from the tortillas since they are made on the same press as the flour ones, and since corn sometimes makes my tummy unhappy.

This time I didn't eat the tortillas.

I still got sick. By sick I mean explosive diarrhea and bloating and tummy cramping.

By the time I got home my body was itching all over. It still itches today. There is no rash that is noticeable. I don't think I have DH have never noticed anything unusual on my skin other than little bumps I've always had on my upper arms but I think that's normal.

Is it possible the itching could be related to gluten intolerance? (I am not yet diagnosed)

I think the itching has to be connected.

I get the itching with no rash or skin redness--it's gotten better the longer I'm gluten-free and have fewer reactions.

I also use laundry detergents with no dyes or perfumes like All or Purex Free and Clear. That helps, too :)

I'm not sure about the connection, but I do know that refried beans can contain flour so that may explain your glutening.

I do feel a bit itchy after glutening. I never get a rash and luckily the itching isn't too bad for me.

Also if the broth they used to make the spanish rice has gluten in it, I have a hard time finding gluten-free spanish rice.

I get itching with no rash, uncontrollable embarrassing itching all over my body, from my scalp to the bottom of my feet.

Oh wow - I'm not alone!

Yes I'm sure I was glutened via a) the marinade for the chicken, B) the beans or c) the broth the rice was made in. Either way, I won't be eating there again (sadly)

I'm kind of relieved to know that it could be gluten-related and I'm not just going crazy!

I will take some Benadryl tonight - The itching is bad, and it literally affects me from my scalp to my feet. Argh!

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Please read the original post--they are looking for a gluten and milk-free treat to replace Tootsie Rolls for their child who loves Tootsie Rolls, but can no longer have them due to a dairy issue--they are not looking for M&M's.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.
