Non-celiacs Eating Gluten Free Products

I assume that its just from trying something new, but I made a gluten free pasta dish last nite and my boyfriend complained that he woke up in the middle of the nite with horrible stomach pains and asked if I would post and see if anyone else who doesn't have celiac disease has a problem with eating gluten free foods?

I personally think that its just from introducing new foods to your body, that you may not normally eat, but I thought for his sake, I would ask!

Thanks! :)

I can't imagine why eating foods made without gluten would bother anyone. gluten-free pasta is usually just rice. My dh neither has Celiac or a gluten issue - and eats gluten-free all the time. And, even he feels better when he's not consuming gluten. :rolleyes:

Perhaps it was something else in the dish that's bothering him??

My hubby eats gluten-free food (pasta included) all the time and never has a problem. The only problem I see w/ some of them is that they're EXPENSIVE and if he can eat regular food that's way cheaper, he does.

Maybe your boyfriend is intolerant to rice? There is no way a gluten-free diet can hurt anybody normally, unless they are intolerant to something in those gluten-free foods, as I am.

I agree. Normally it would be fine, just like normally wheat is fine. But he may have uncovered a sensitivity that he was unaware of.

Since I made our household gluten-free I very rarely eat gluten any more except once in awhile at lunch when I'm working and I have never had a problem with gluten-free pasta or anything else (except gaining a few pounds from cooking more :( I think he probably would have had whatever it was regardless and would tell him not to worry.

I'd guess it's either he doesn't usually eat as much fiber as the rice pasta meal contained, or it was just a coincidence.

Just my two cents...

I assumed that it wasnt, but like I had said, he wanted me to ask, so I figured I would. It may have been something he ate earlier and just associated it with the last meal he ate. Or maybe he does have a problem with rice. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for all your help!!

:lol: It's so funny you mention that! I am the only (known) Celiac in my family, but my Mom sometimes attends Celiac support group meetings with me. She always says that she has the worst stomach aches after sampling even just a little of the gluten-free fare that is always available. She jokes that she has reverse Celiac disease!

I always tell her it's because the food is rich, but I eat 3x as much as her, and I'm fine so go figure.

This makes sense. I am not celiac (hubby is) and gluten-free foods don't bother me. A rice sensitivity also makes sense; does he normally eat rice? If no rice problems, then I'd place my bet on him not being used to eating fiber.

There's also the possibility that his digestive system simply isn't accustomed to one or more ingredients. The gut doesn't maintain digestive enzymes for compounds not normally encountered, so when something new enters the system, it can take some time for the required enzymes to be produced. I read this is why Americans tend to experience gas and/or heartburn when they eat Mexican food. The typical American doesn't eat beans, so the required enzymes aren't there.

Whenever I add a new food to my diet, I try to start out with a very small amount, and wait a few days before eating it again. Slowly I'll work up to the ideal amount, which might take two weeks.

My husband and I tried bean flour pasta. It tasted great, but after our bellies ached. :huh: The equivilent of eating a plateful of beans (navy, lentil, fava and chickpea) can make a huge difference.

Xanthan gum (or guar gum) can have a laxative effect. :o

If someone tells me something they ate makes them feel sick, I believe them. ;)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
