I Was Doing So Good

UGH I was doing so good w/keeping wheat and gluten out of my diet until tonight. I was making meatloaf used gluten/wheat free corn flake instead of bread crumbs. Then I add Lipton beefy onion soup mix. Never thought to look just used it out of habit. Now I'm paying the price. I however did dicover that the goodvalue brand tomatoe sauce is gluten free .

I have yet another question stupid one at that. I'm so lost on this whole wheat free gluten free thing. If its gluten free it can strill have wheat in it right? and visa versa right? I read then read more and end up confussing myself. :unsure:

Gluten free means there is no wheat, barley, rye, or oats*.

Wheat free means there is no wheat.

So, wheat free may still have barley, rye, or oats - which are sources of gluten.

But gluten free cannot have wheat.

(*this depends on the manufacturer - you still have to read the ingredient list.)

As for the soup mix... It happens. You're in the process of breaking a habit developed over years, if not decades, and one that you see EVERYONE else around you use. This is why it is important to ALWAYS CHECK THE LABEL, but it can be a difficult habit to break, not checking what's in the ingredients of what you're eating. One solution is to only bring into the home foods that are gluten free, or segregate those that are not gluten free to a small area of the kitchen that you do not use. (In my house, it is "The shelf of evil." I can't reach it anyway. :D)

(It's kinda disturbing when you think about it, but it is a habit we've all exhibited to some degree, and there's something to be said, psychologically, to have some level of safety in the most basic of human needs.)

Lipton Onion Dried Soup is the ONLY Lipton dry soup that is gluten free. Onion Beef is not. I use the onion alot and have not problems.

You can still cook, but only the Lipton Onion.....and still have the same taste. Sorry that you are feeling bad.

There is a steep learning curve with this diet. It is hard to learn new cooking techniques and substitute ingredients for things you have made for years. I'm sure you will learn from every mistake and it will happen less and less. I got myself sick all the time in the beginning and now it only happens if I eat out - never at home.

Hope you feel better.

I have done that before, use something and then remember the label afterwards. It's just a habit that we all have to develop. Hope you feel better soon.

      I'm also a nurse, but one who has worked in chronic care, and to some extent, it is more satisfying to see patients through to a diagnosis (as opposed to working in the ED), but an accurate diagnosis does not occur not as often as it should! Your posting presents a lot of information. But a couple of things I can respond to. One, celiac disease is diagnosed by endoscopy and biopsy of the duodenum. So, pathology will need to weigh in. It's not diagnosed on gastroscopy. (At least, not as far as I know). Two, did you get blood tests for celiac disease? You will need to be eating gluten in order for those to be accurate. Three, where was the CT angiogram (of what)? I could go on and on, but thought I'd start there.

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
