Ate Peanuts...

Sorry I tried to find a thread about this...but I am in the early healing stages..it's has been two months since gluten free..anyway I couldn't stand it Saturday night and ate a bunch of salt-free roasted peanuts that I shelled myself, anyway by the next morning I felt like somebody had kicked me in the lower guts.....

I have really been watching what I eat, but just had the munchies so damn bad I couldn't help myself. :rolleyes:

I of course am not eating peanuts again for a good long while, but just wondered if this happens or has happened to anybody else...

Numerous possibilities:

1. peanuts themselves are gluten free. so unless there was a risk of cross contamination, it probably wasn't direct gluten.

2. if it wasn't gluten, your body probably hasn't healed, and it might just not been able to handle it, for some unknown reason.

3. you have some sort of intolerance/allergy (etc) with peanuts.

those are my thoughts. I hope you are ok!!!!!

Oh It isn't bad enough that we have to eat gluten free, but you went through the trouble to shell the peanuts and you got sick. I have not encountered what you are talking about because I am still new and too scared to go off track. I have been neurotic about it and afraid to try something new. I have a store called trader joe's and they gave me Better'n Peanut Butter. It takes the place of that urge that you get for some peanuts. Get this it is 85% less fat 40% less calories, no saturated fat, no trans fat, bluten free, dairy free, no cholesterol no preservatives. OK I was afraid to try this (in writing perfect food) it must taste like cardboard. I had my husband try it and he said it was good. Then I tried it and was so happy to try a food that actually tastes like my pre-gluten diagnosis food. YEA, ITS GOOD. gOOD LUCK I still find eating very hard and hate cooking now. If I never see another salad or veggie again, it would be ok to me. I hate the bread that weighs as much as my daughters platform shoes.

many "normal" peanut butters are naturally gluten free. just read the labels. we have used peanut pan pb in our house.

oh yes, love Trader Joes..I just think peanuts at the mo are to rough for my intestines...just wondered if they bothered anybody else in the beginning..

I am just sticking to meat, chicken, rice, potatoes and a few other veggies..homemade stew has been good for me and I made the best mac and cheese with Ancient Harvet Quinoa pasta, it was quite excellent, even the H loved it, but milk and cheese aren't too good for me right now either...

I don't mind cooking this way..it isn't really too tough..as soon as I am feeling a bit better going to try mastering something so I can have a pizza.. :D ...bought a gluten free pizza dough mix to try in a few weeks..YAY..

Yep! Peanuts are just really hard to digest to begin with and many people have problems with them, even if they aren't strictly allergic to them. When I first started the diet, I snacked on a nut mix a lot, but I finally figured out that it was the nuts making my stomach hurt all the time because they weren't digesting. So at least for the healing portion, staying away from peanuts and maybe other nuts is a good idea.

I buy natural peanut butter for my kids, it's just peanuts and salt. I use almond butter for myself as I'm allergic to mold, which peanuts are high in.

good advice..and I might add popcorn is not good either..Good Lord..no pain, but way too frickin much ruffage at the mo.. :blink: so far it has just been the peanuts that have given me any pain...

Oh good to know about the mold in peanuts, we only use natural peanuts butter too, I have the feeling that as soon as I get healed up, I'll be able to go back to everything but gluten or course. I use to have an iron stomach so to speak until this cropped up.. :angry:

Peanuts are very hard to digest and I found that out on thanksgiving. Its was the only snack I could have and ate to many. I can have about a tablespoon in a peanut butter sandwich with no problems but I can't eat much more. I was also making cookies made with almond flour awhile back. It was the only sweet I had in awhile so I ate like 6 of them. Well I should of learned from that because the next day I was miserable. Their just to high in fat and heavy.

My husband is perfectly healthy and popcorn affects him in a very negative way. ;) I eat it because it doesn't bother me, and when he eats some, too, he's always complainin later ... come to think of it, it's kind of strange that there's something that bothers him and not me!

I just had my colonoscopy yesterday and my doctor told me to stick with a very basic diet of veggies, fruits, and plain white meats. No peanuts, popcorn, pretzels... basically he said anything "sharp" or hard to digest. Hopefully this will help while I heal and get rid of the horrible cramping feeling that I have when I eat. He basically told me to just baby my intestines for a while.

Peanuts and peanut butter makes me sick, too! I feel like I've been glutened so now I won't eat them anymore.

They do the same to me. I then looked further, and realized that I am intolerant to legumes. I was eating green beans every day, as well as the peanut butter.

Since omitting all legumes, I'm doing better. Sometimes you have to take this thing one step at a time--especially when other intolerances may be at play. :)

I can't have any peanut product (probably just the leugumes thing too). I like the cashew butter as a nice replacement.

Like Carla said the shelled peanuts have mold particularly the organic ones.

Roasted nuts in general have other products added-I stick to the raw nuts however I don't eat peanuts.

I posted a thread about this a couple of months ago.

Ever since going gluten free, I don't tolerate legumes very well (peanuts are legumes). It is a different feeling for me than being glutened - mostly intense stomach cramps. Peanut butter is out and a lot of gluten free products bother me because they use bean flour. Sugar alcohols, which a similar long chain carbohydrate, also are out (even sugar free gum gives me stomach cramps). The strangest thing is that they never bothered me before I went gluten-free. Apparently, healing my gut made me unable to digest them.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
