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!!

Sorry to hear about your glutening... I hope you're feeling much better now...it sucks when something previously 'safe' does a number on you!

That stinks..I thought that Litehouse Blue Cheese was gluten free?

(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.

      Buckwheat

      I agree, there can be contamination at many points--milling is another possible source of contamination for any flours.

      Keep in mind that with manufactured food products, "gluten free" doesn't equate to no gluten. Things that are naturally gluten free can be cross-contaminated with gluten in the field, in shipping and in processing. In the U.S. companies can use the gluten free label as long as the product doesn't exceed 20ppm of gluten. That amount still may cause a reaction in some people.

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works
