I say check the salsa and review everything from the day BEFORE, mine always takes a while before I know I'm glutened.

How long have you been gluten free? In the early stages it is best to be dairy feel as well. I have been gluten free for a year and a half and now learning that dairy is an issue.

Dairy is difficult to absorb in the early stages of going gluen free.

Not familiar with you scrib, but is is gluten free and perhaps dairy.

I had some egg for breakfast for the first time in months. (Yes, I know I shouldn't! but I wanted to have a nice normal restaurant breakfast with my partner. :( ) I had horrible D about 30 min later. If I were you I'd eliminate all those from your diet for a few weeks, then re-introduce one at a time and write down your responses.

Best wishes

Dear momof4insc,

It could have been the dairy, or your medicine. Some people have reported Tostitos making them sick. Cross contamination can be an issue, some members have said. I ate some and now I hurt, but I had my gallbladder out, so anything fried is bad. I pigged out, and now all that fat is hurting me. As long as I eat a little I am fine, but I have overdone it. :(

Dairy is a common problem for many people. I am going off of it to see if I feel better. I was doing a lot better the first two months. I have been glutened like once a week lately because of my careless parents. It is like the seriousness of this does not concern them at all.

To check your med, call your pharmacy. Have the pharmacist look it up. If they do not know, look on the Internet. You should be able to find out. If you still cannot find anything on it, calling the manufacturer's number Monday is your best bet.

The other possibility is you are getting cross contaminated accidentally from your own house.

Make sure you have pans that were not used for gluten loaded foods in the past. The scratches can hide gluten and make you sick when you cook with them. Utensils are another problem. Get new ones.

The dishwasher usually corrects this, but it is not worth risking when you are as sensitive as me.

Your cosmetics and shampoos, etc. are another possible source of danger. Many times, we forget these things. If you like, I would be more than happy to send you a list of safe soaps, detergents, and household items and beauty aids that we are allowed to use. This is daunting. It is impossible not to forget about something.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Here are my ideas... Is your prescription gluten free (some aren't)? Did anyone else dip anything else into the sour cream or salsa. Tostitos could be a very likely source of CC. Did anyone else eat them while eating a sandwich or pretzels? Plus, Tostitos, while being naturally gluten free, are not gauranteed to be gluten free (CC). Do you have gluten eaters in your house? Are there crumbs on your counters?

Always check the sour cream....too many manufacturers put in modified food starch(~ gluten here in the USA) in sour cream. It is nearly always in the little take out individual sour creams.

In the US, when modified food starch is listed, by law they are required to list, if wheat is an ingredient.

It is infrequent that MFS would be derived by wheat, but yes the undeclared possibilities.

Ah, yes,my bad . :P There are the new federal laws, but some products are still on shelves that were pre-Jan1,2006. So please be aware of the potential for hidden wheat in MFS.

i should hope you're not eating sour cream that was on the shelves before jan 2006! if that's the case, i'd say any resulting sickness would be from the over a year old rotten sour cream, not from modified food starch! ;)

HA!! Gave me a good chuckle! We do push the date expiration on a few products, but sour cream hasn't been one of them! We usually eat Daisy sour cream by the bucket from Costco!! :D

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      Help needed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!

      Lost

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling for so long without the answers or relief you deserve. It’s incredibly frustrating to have a celiac diagnosis yet still face debilitating symptoms, especially after decades of strict gluten-free living. Your history of chronic health issues—SIBO, food allergies, recurrent infections, and now potential complications like nerve pain (left leg) and mucosal ulcers—suggests there may be overlapping conditions at play, such as autoimmune comorbidities (e.g., Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s), nutrient deficiencies, or even refractory celiac disease (though rare). Stanford is an excellent step forward, as their specialists may uncover missed connections. The medical gaslighting you’ve endured is unacceptable, and while legal action is an option, focusing on thorough testing (e.g., repeat endoscopy, micronutrient panels, autoimmune markers, skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis) might be more immediately helpful. Menopause can absolutely exacerbate underlying inflammation, so hormonal imbalances should also be explored. For symptom relief, some in the celiac community find low-dose naltrexone (LDN) or mast cell stabilizers helpful for systemic issues, but a functional medicine doctor (if accessible) could tailor supplements to your needs. You’re not alone in this fight—keep advocating fiercely at Stanford. Document everything meticulously; it strengthens both medical and potential disability claims. Sending you strength—this shouldn’t be so hard, and you deserve real solutions.
