My Major Glutening

Yesterday, the Nascar season began with the Daytona 500. So we get all ready to watch, I make a batch of gluten free buffalo tenders for me and b/f. They are finally ready, race is going, now we sit down to eat... I used Blue Cheese Dressing, no wheat in it.. have used it from the same bottle before, but uh oh.. something happened. I got sooooo sick. I also fed our stray cat while I was cooking, the food we give her has wheat in it, but I only take the closed bag outside, pour it into the dish, close it up again, and put it right inside the door on the floor, it doesnt leave that spot ever.

So we are eating and the gurgles began... I ran to the bathroom, yup a glutening.. but it was amazing, it was the best glutening I ever had!!! :P not painful, just had to come out.. it did and it was over (so I thought).

I came back and said, no more blue cheese dressing, switched to a gluten free ranch dressing.. not as good, but hey gotta do what I gotta do.. couldnt finish my chicken anyway, made too much! lol

As for the rest of the day, nope, nothing stayed in.. phooey. It was a pretty serious glutening for me then.. usually for me once its out, i can eat again without a problem, not yesterday. Everything kept coming out.. phooey.. today I am ok so far.. eating breakfast now.. hopefully it will all be ok!

My first major glutening in a LONG time! Does anyone use a gluten free blue cheese dressing? I love and miss my blue cheese with buffalo tenders, I finally perfected that recipe, but now no dressing! phooey!!

(I hate to ask while you feel sick, but have you ever posted your buffalo chicken tenders recipe??)

That sucks, I just glutened myself cooking noodles. I tasted mine to see if they were done, and without thinking (oh yeah) I tasted their's to see if they were done. Hope the food "stays in".

OH NO! I hate when that happens. I did that once at my mothers around the holidays my first holidays with celiacs. Just was touching it to see if it was hot, and licked my finger! :blink: I guess we are all able to make mistakes like that no matter how long we have been at it! I hope you dont get sick! If you do, feel better fast!!

Sorry to hear you got sick, and at the Start of NASCAR at that....I am glad to hear the glutening wasn't that bad. Hope you are feeling much better.

It's crazy what you have to eat when you don't feel well!! Hopefully you can eat a decent supper tonight.

(Thanks for posting that recipe!)

I also glutened myself last night cooking noodles for my son! I had everything perfect...I thought! One thing that escaped me was when I ladled the sauce onto his noodles the ladle touched them and I put the ladel back into the sauce again..not thinking!! As I was eating my gluten-free noodles I realized what I had done. Well a few hours later stomach started grumbling and I knew I had done myself in. I'm still pretty new to this (diagnosed Celiac in Jan 07). Old habits are hard to break.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.

      Gluten free nuts

      I think Tierra Farms is a gluten free facility, at least that is what it says on the bag of walnuts that I have.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      All of a sudden I can't get any gluten-free nuts. There are only 2 nuts available that I can find on the market that are gluten-free. One is Mauna loa brand macadamia nuts, the other is Wonderful pistachios. Other than that all types of nuts that are plain nuts, roasted or raw are no longer gluten-free and are processed and plants that also process wheat.  Has anyone found a source for Pecans, almonds peanuts, walnuts, Pine nuts, etc that is gluten-free?

      @Xravith, How are you doing?   Two cookies are not enough.  For testing, you need to be eating a minimum of ten grams of gluten for two weeks minimum before testing for Celiac antibodies.  Ten grams of gluten is roughly five or six slices of gluten containing bread per day for two weeks minimum. Breads that contain lots of gluten typically have large bubbles formed by gases escaping during baking.  Gluten helps form those bubbles of trapped gases, like a balloon.  Artisan breads, and thick, chewy pizza crust are good examples.  Look at the size of the bubbles in cakes and cookies.  Small bubbles, so not lots of gluten in them.  You'd have to eat tons of cookies to get ten grams.   Antibodies are made in the small intestine. If you eat at least TEN grams of gluten for at least two weeks, then there will be sufficient antibodies to move into the bloodstream, which can be measured in antibody tests.   If you eat less than ten grams of gluten daily, you will get celiac symptoms, but not enough antibodies will get into the bloodstream to be measured, resulting in false negatives.  Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can also affect testing, resulting in false negatives. Since you are having such difficulty consuming sufficient quantities of gluten, you should consider getting a genetic test done.  You do not have to eat gluten to have a genetic test done.  Celiac is inherited.  It's in your genes.  Genes don't change whether you eat gluten or not.  A genetic test looks for the most common known Celiac genes.  If you do not have the genes, your doctor can look for other health conditions that can be causing symptoms.  If you do have Celiac genes, you can assume that those genes are actively causing symptoms.  An endoscopy to check for the amount of intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease is usually done.   You should also be checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test, which checks for Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine, Vitamin B 1, is one of the eight essential B vitamins.  Thiamine can become low quickly because our bodies use so much of it everyday.  If we're not replenishing Thiamine daily from our diet or because of malabsorption, we can become seriously ill.  Same with the other seven B vitamins.   Doctors are not familiar with nutritional deficiency symptoms as can occur in Celiac disease.  Please get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Ask for the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test soon. Please let us know how you are doing.
