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

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
