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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
