Bloated

It seems like whenever I eat a lot of pre-packaged gluten free items such as pasta, cookies, bread I get a yucky, bloated feeling. On the days I eat naturally gluten free items, I seem to feel okay or better.

Does this happen to any of you guys?

Yes, it happens to me. I don't know if the guar or xanthum gum is the culprit. I rarely eat packaged gluten-free foods for this reason and, when I do, I have only a small amount and then make sure I don't have any more for several days at least.

Yes, I feel absolutely the best when only eating naturally gluten-free foods. I use mixes very infrequently--it's actually been a while since I've used one. For me, there are just too many ingredients in them.

Many mixes have bean flour in them, which can bother many people, especially if you're not accustomed to it.

I am intolerant to all grains (including rice and corn), legumes (which includes beans and soy) nightshades (potato flour is in many of those mixes) and tapioca (those are just some of my intolerances). Since all mixes have at least one of those, usually more than one, I can't have any. In fact, the only gluten-free starch I can tolerate a little of now and then is light buckwheat (I don't do well with the dark buckwheat). And even that I can only use infrequently, as I get bloated from it.

Of course, gluten-free pasta, bread, pizza etc. are totally out for me.

So, you're not the only one who can't tolerate gluten-free specialty items. Just like Patti, I usually only eat naturally gluten-free foods (some of them, anyway :rolleyes: ).

Xanthan gum makes me have drastic bloating and pain. I'm not intolerant to corn in any way, so I can't understand why Xanthan gum does that to me.

I handle Guar gum just fine.

Sadly, most gluten-free mixes are made with Xanthan gum, not Guar.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
