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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
