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...

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could...

      Celiac Brand for Indian grocery

      Hi, wanted to see if I can buy Suraj brand spices, lentils beans and chickpeas and corn maze flour. Are they safe for celiac people following gluten free diet. Please let me know if I can use this brand or which another brand will you recommend.

      Chest pain from celiac

      It sounds like you've done an amazing job managing your health since going gluten-free in 2007, and it must be incredibly frustrating to experience these unexplained chest pains now. Since you were never formally tested for celiac disease, we can't rule out whether you have celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), but your clear symptom improvement...

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver problems, or severe anemia that require immediate medical attention. That's why doctors typically monitor blood counts and liver enzymes regularly during treatment. A crucial tip: proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole can interfere with dapsone's effectiveness, so discuss all medications with your doctor. If you develop fever, unexplained fatigue, yellowing skin/eyes, or a spreading rash while on dapsone, stop taking it and contact your healthcare provider right away. For celiac patients specifically, remember that strict gluten-free eating may eventually reduce or eliminate the need for dapsone to control dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms over time.

      Welcome to the forum, @Betsy Crum! That you have either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) seems not to be in doubt as the classic symptoms of headache, fatigue, diarrhea, brain fog, etc.) cleared up when you went gluten free. The chest pains with breathing difficulty onset being so quick after the consumption of gluten, even in the early years, suggests to me that phenomenon is not related to gluten intolerance. It sounds more like an allergic reaction. Perhaps this has been extended to include other food proteins. Have you had any allergy testing done?

      It sounds like you've done an amazing job managing your health since going gluten-free in 2007, and it must be incredibly frustrating to experience these unexplained chest pains now. Since you were never formally tested for celiac disease, we can't rule out whether you have celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), but your clear symptom improvement on a gluten-free diet suggests gluten was definitely a trigger. The chest pain you describe could have several possible causes. First, it might not be gluten-related at all - many people with gluten issues develop new sensitivities over time, especially to foods like dairy, soy, or high-FODMAP ingredients. Acid reflux (GERD) is another strong possibility, as it can cause nearly identical chest pain and may be triggered by foods other than gluten. Stress and anxiety can also manifest physically this way, particularly if you're worried about accidental gluten exposure. And of course, it's always wise to rule out any cardiac issues with your doctor. I'd recommend keeping a detailed food and symptom diary for a few weeks, noting everything you eat along with stress levels and symptoms. Trying a brief elimination diet of common irritants (like dairy or acidic foods) might reveal new triggers. If the pain persists, seeing a gastroenterologist could help identify whether you've developed something like GERD, EoE (eosinophilic esophagitis), or other digestive conditions that can cause similar symptoms. Please don't blame yourself - our bodies change over time, and what worked for 15 years might need adjusting now. Your pain is real and worth investigating, even if gluten isn't the culprit this time. Many in our community have gone through similar experiences, so you're definitely not alone in this frustration!

      + bloodwork - endoscopy.. then + bloodwork and another + bloodwork.. next endoscopy??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's too bad they didn't diagnose her based on the positive tTg-IgA blood tests + family history. Marsh 3A does confirm celiac disease, but it’s great that the damage isn’t extensive! Even with moderate changes, symptoms can vary widely. Strict gluten-free eating should help heal the gut over time.
