Yesterday I woke up feeling awful--achy, stiff and bloated. I was back in the bathroom all am. Kind of just how it used to be everyday. :( I swear I didn't knowingly ingest gluten. When I said that to my husband this morning he told me, "Yeah, but your face doesn't lie." I am so swollen and puffy! I am wondering about two things. I made some Bob's Red Mill gluten-free cornbread and some small ricotta cheesecakes. The cornbread was truly awful but only because it was sweet and cakey. The cheesecakes were from scratch so I KNOW there was no gluten but lots of dairy obviously. Could dairy be doing this? I NEVER want to feel this way again. Good grief, how did I cope everyday? I am drinking lots of water and trying to stay moving. No more bread analogs for me. I think I'll stick to naturally gluten free stuff for a while. (like many of you recommended :blink: )

Thanks for reading my little pity party. Expect lots of cyberhugs from me if you post about getting glutened. (praying that doesn't happen to any of us!)

Yikes. I'm sorry you feel so awful. I don't know what to say, because it seems that every person with celiac disease is unique - different random things seem to cause this gluten reaction in some people. Maybe you have a casein sensitivity? Casein is a milk protein I believe... some celiacs can't handle it and it causes a gluten-like reaction. I don't know.

I react as though I have eaten gluten after I drink red wine and I am still not entirely sure why.

I hope you start feeling better soon... I wish I had more advice for you!

Hi

I am sorry you have to endoure this.

I've red in this forum some people having reaction with the Bob's Red Mill.

I agree with Annie-is-gluten-free everyone reacts different. For example when I accidently ingest any gluten within 5-8 minutes after I start to vomit non-stop until everything is out. Then I start to feel better, but very weak.

I am casein sensitive, therfore I am staying away of any dairy products for at least one year, that was the recommendation from EnteroLabs.

I hope you feel better and recover very soon. Drink lots of water to flush the toxin out.

Second hand gluten is it stincky!!!!!!!!

Best regards to you.

I've always heard that, once casein sensitive, always casein sensitive. It is like gluten that way. Are you sure Enterolab told you this? Nothing on the web site or in the information I received with my test results indicated that I could try it again later.

I'm not saying you are wrong -- I would just like to confirm it. When I questioned my soy & yeast results, since I hadn't noticed a reaction before & wondered if I could just skip them until healing takes place, they told me that my intolerances were permanent. If I omitted these items, yes, my antibodies would go down. But if I started eating them again, my antibodies would come back.

What I've heard from other sources is that if your problem is lactose you can try it again after 6 months to a year. That is because one's villi have theoretically healed & thus may be able to absorb lactose again.

Wow! I can safely say that I do not react the same way as you when i ingest gluten knowingly or not. My reactions always very from one thing to the next except maybe store bought brownies from my local 7-11 store usually reaction within 2 hours with that usually very gassy stomoch and a blow out in the AM early sometimes and Brownies are my absolute favorite sweets of all time, So I am having a heard time with that. If I do get gluten using regular items to make my spegetti usually burns going down or it could be the tomato sauce and paste that I use, I strongly believe that i have a food allergy to Tomatos, I simply can not have fresh tomatos or I do what you do when you get gluten, not immediatly but soon after along with very gassy that is gets trapped in and I hurt everywhere fells like in 10 months preggers. I have tomotey items like katch-up tomato, suace, tomato paste usually I just get gassy, but I do get very sick with the real thing. I aslo get very gassy with avacodos, so I have read that tomatos and avacodos are just some of the items listed for Latex allergies, but I'm ok with bannas and kiwi (well that I know of)

Hey Donna, that's funny that you mention having trouble with tomatoes... come to think of it I have heard a lot about celiacs and even people with simple wheat intolerance having a lot of issues with tomatoes. Sounds like you should stop eating them! Sucks, eh? Stupid food intolerances.

I know of an AMAZING recipe for gluten-free brownies. Trust me... my step-sister likes them even more than regular brownies and she is basically a chocolate coinnoisseur. I don't have the recipe with me (I'm at work) but I can message it to you if you are interested! Seriously.... you'll never go back to glutenous brownies.

However, because 1 in 500 people cannot make IgA at all, and rarely, some people can still have clinically significant reactions to a food antigen despite the lack of a significant antibody reaction (because the reactions primarily involve T cells), if you have an immune syndrome or symptoms associated with food sensitivity, it is recommended that you try a strict removal of suspect foods from your diet for up to 12 months despite a negative test.

Please tell me that I interpreted the results okay and I can re-introduce dairy in a year or so.

Please, Please.

I don't think that's what it means. It says if your test was NEGATIVE and the food is suspect, you should remove it from your diet for 1 year. Your test was clearly positive. :(

I cannot have tomato products either. Oranges will bother me too. Anything really that is high in acid.

Brownies, where :rolleyes: Must have brownies :rolleyes:

YES! I would love to have a gluten-free brwonie mix. reciept that is.

Oh sorry I love them too much I can't splee correctly that lack of brownies is affecting my brain! did i say correctly?

Oh trust me I don't or at least don't eat tomatos at all knowingly any way if they are in my meals at a restraunt I prombtly take them out an look for the seeds as well, and I do ask for no tomatoes in my meals sometimes they understand other times they don't.

My mom has always made fun of me for not liking tomatoes in the first place, she has asked me if my problem could be gall bladder issues, she had gall bladder surgery when I was real little or was it before I was born can't remember I was'nt there. My grandma had hers removed when i was 19yrs old. But I don't have the symptoms I look at the web for it.

later,

Donna

Brownies any one

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.
