I ate all natural, beef.

Now I am gassy, burping, feeling that tickle in my thorat.

Coughing a little...

Anyone have trouble digesting beef?

I think that may be it.... :ph34r:

If you are newly diagnosed, everything might bother you.

However, just because you have celiac disease does not mean every ailment that might occur is due to celiac. You might just randomly have trouble digesting beef today.

I'm relatively newly self-diagnosed and I have problems digesting anything but fresh fruit and veggies, and limited amounts of soy. Just give it a little time, a few months at least, and if it doesn't start to clear up you might have a problem with beef.

What was on the beef? How was it cooked? Did you have *anything* else within four hours? Did you swallow much air with it? Lots of questions here. :)

Gotta echo those questions......

Were you formerly not eating beef?

If you have been vegetarian for a while then your body probably just needs to adjust slowly....

It might also be distateful but the less its cooked the easier it digests..... but perhaps if you haven't eaten it for a while then very small portions would be a start?

sometimes I get sick from the most random things where it's not possible to even be celiac related... it could simply be a mild food poisoning issue (when your immune system is already compromised you react more quickly to other things)

also, beef is hard to digest so if you haven't been eating it for a while, or ever, ease into it slowly... you don't need beef in your diet, in fact my sister lives off of ground turkey, baked chicken and fish... (no beef or pork)

My BIL & my BF's families each have a cattle farm & they've both warned me that it could depend on what the cow is feed, like pork...pigs are usually give slop (all the bits of leftover dinners) so I just avoid the pork & hope for the best with Beef. I love beef!

I still can't figure out what hay is...

Wow, that's ironic because last night i made home made burgers in the frying pan and about 1-2 hours later i felt like i could throw up a grease ball or something...i kept burping and got gassy when i went to bed. I will say i haven't been on a very fatty diet the past few months, and i usually grill the burgers instead of pan frying them (but it was raining around South Chicago burbs last night...and still is this morning), si it may just be the grease or fat content.

Well I buy only organic, natural meats.

Meaning all vegetarian feed, no antibiotics and no preservatives.

So thats ok.

I asked the GI and she said.....beef digests poorly and sometimes, bit do not digest at all so its really not good for a newly diagnosed person.

So I am sticking to any fresh turkey...chicken...and salmon.

Although I did try gluten free, wheat free, egg free, soy free, cas free chicken nuggets.

We'll see how those go.

Last christmas (before I was dx) I had a huge roast with my family. Immediatly after I felt sick - but what else is new. It deff. wasn't food poisening b/c no one else got sick, and because I get sick so easily all my meat is always cooked more than everyone elses. I spent the rest of christmas night and all the next day throwing that delish. meat up. And since then I don't eat red meat, and whenever I do I get just as sick. Only I don't always throw up, thank god.

Has anyone else notices that before you were dx if you told anyone the list of all the things you couldn't eat b/c you get so sick.. well.. the list is never ending. As is now, but at least we know why. Being dx is actually better- I can eat MORE than I could before!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
