The Do'h I Glutened Myself Thread

GlutenFreeMamax2,

The reaction you describe after the Frogurt is exactly what happened to me after I ate a Creamie ice cream bar 1 week into the diet. Creamies are gluten-free but the milk, I guess, got me. I turned milk intolerant very quickly after going gluten-free. The intestinal pain I experienced was like nothing I could ever recall & the worst of it was that for the next 2 days the inside of my stomach & abdomen felt raw & painful like I had digested glass.

Don't know if that helps, but...it wasn't gluten that did that me it was dairy. :(

Thanks for the info! I'm a cheese lover. I hate straight milk because it hurts my tummy. Isn't it funny how it takes 3-4 days before it REALLY hurts?! I remember thinking wow, I still feel pretty good. Awesome! Then it hit :( I'm starting to think more and more that it's dairy. I had gluten-free frozen yogert last night. I hope I don't have the same issue :(

I can't even remember the last time I was glutened... cause I'm THAT careful and we rarely eat out. Haven't intentionally eaten gluten since about a year into my gluten-free journey. I'd NEVER, EVER do it on purpose now!!

Just recently I went to a holiday party. I made a rice dish so that I would have something gluten free at the party. The host was very understanding of my non gluten needs and made a red curry and chicken that had nothing on it. He kept all of the containers so I could make sure that it was gluten free. Everything was gluten free and tasted great. The next day I woke up feeling very weird then it hit me. I had the worst migraine I have ever had. It lasted for 3 days. The whole time I was wondering how did I get glutenated? Then I realized that they cooked it in a cast iron pan that may have been used for gluten based items. I even watched him make it. And I helped make part of it ahhh. So dumb.

So...there's no way to de-gluten yourself?

I'm new to this whole gluten-free world, but have to follow it because my I 131 iodione Thyroid ca tx resulted in GI problems and now Gluten sensitivity. yay.

Hello,

I think the bacon got me last night. I read the label but didn't research it online to see if the celery salt or other natural flavors were gluten-free...let me tell you they aren't. It's the only thing I can think that could have done it, everything else I eat all the time. Major bloating, gas, loose bowels...all the fun stuff! Puffy eyes this morning, dark circles, and starving to death.....when's lunch?? BTW, it was Oscar Myer all natural bacon. It's a new product.

Oscar Mayer is a Kraft company and they will always disclose the ingredients in a product. It is one of the companies I trust and really appreciate their good labeling. That doesn't mean you didn't react to a specific ingredient but I question whether you were glutened by the bacon.

Ditto! :)

Love Kraft!

The kraft natural flavoring and celery salt is likely not gluten derived, because Kraft tends to be good about labeling that, but CC is certainly a possibility. The more processed a food is, it's usually more likely that they can get CC'd.

So the other day, I decided to be dumb and not plan ahead what I was going to eat for lunch. I also was counting on the fact that it was one of THOSE days, and I am never hungry on THOSE kind of days. But at about 2:45 I got dreadfully hungry. So I went to the food court. Went and got some mexican food, (special order of course) and not five minutes later, I felt the result. Yeah, note to self... Food is POISON!

Furthermore, I am thinking that Bar-S bacon may not be a safe brand of bacon... Had that a number of times, and promptly felt sick after... Although, apparently the Kroger Premium selection brand I have no problems with. Course it may have also been acid reflux, because I have been rather lazy and not taking my meds of late... oops.

Bella, have you thought that it may not be a glutening but rather reflux? Bacon is a big reflux inducer...

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Buckwheat

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
