I have stuck the the gluten free diet as far as I know. Have been feeling pretty good until yesterday eve. Yesterday eve I had extremely bad stomach pain. It was hard to walk. I was really tired and felt horrible. This is what I had different yesterday---blue bunny big fudgsicle and a few bites of a regular hershey bar. Also, today I took some generic Mestinon for my Myasthenia Gravis (was just feeling pretty tired and weak) Today I am so bloated, couldn't go potty today, heartburny, tired, fogged, etc. Could the generic Mestinon have gluten in it somewhere? It is Pyridostigmine Bromide (probably really misspelled) Or is it the other things?

I just can't pinpoint it. All I know is I HATE this feeling!! :( Could someone help?

I don't have any info on the other products you used, but keep in mind that you have been on the diet for a very, very short amount of time. If you have Celiac, your body hasn't healed, and hasn't started absorbing nutrients, etc. You *may* be eating gluten free, but your body is still having trouble digesting certain things.

This is all just something to remember, if you rule out that you had some gluten in something, etc. I was still having symptoms and it wasn't the gluten that was the problem, it was the lack of healing.

Hopefully someone else will chime in with some other suggestions. And, of course, hope you feel better!!!!!

I'd call the pharmacy to see if anything in the generic meds could be the problem. Is this generic new? Do you normally not have the generic brand? Some people don't do well with generics.

I use both blue bunny and hershey's frequently. Blue bunny will clearly list any ingredients on their label. Here is the statement from their website reguarding gluten:

Information about Gluten

Federal Definition of "Gluten-Free"

The January 23 edition of the Federal Register contained a notice of proposed rule making to define the use of the term "gluten-free" for voluntary use for food labeling, to mean that the food does not contain any of the following: An ingredient that is any species of the grains wheat, rye, barley or a crossbred hybrid of these grains, an ingredient derived from them and that has not been processed to remove the gluten, or that has been processed to remove the gluten but more than 20 ppm remains. In addition, a food made from oats that bears a gluten-free claim in its labeling would be deemed misbranded if the claim suggests that all such foods are gluten-free or if 20 ppm or more of gluten is present in the food.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't have the urge to go. I just haven't gone. I am usually like that. For instance, before being gluten free I would not go for 3-5 days even a week. But after starting the diet, I was going 1 to 2 times a day normal consistancy. I just feel like something aggravated it now. It could be dairy, I never thought about that. I will eliminate it for a while and see what happens.

I had a colonoscopy and it was fine except for some irritation or inflammation in parts. I really couldn't tell ya, because he told me while I was sedated and I don't even remember him telling me. My mom told me. He just sent me on my way. I do drink plenty, too. Thanks for the input.

Hi baking:

I've been on a gluten free diet for a couple of weeks. I haven't been diagnosed with celiac or gluten intolerance. I just wanted to see if the gluten-free diet would help with some "issues" I'm having. :rolleyes: After a short improvement in my problems, I started having a lot of tummy pain, gas, D, strong urge to defecate - more than I had been having before the gluten-free diet.

I am in the habit of eating Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream with Hershey's chocolate syrup every night before going to bed. I eliminated that - and the minimal amounts of other dairy I eat - two days ago and haven't had tummy problems since. I read that lactose intolerance can accompany celiac but that some people can tolerate dairy after being gluten-free for 6 months or so.

If this diet resolves the problems I'm having (and it seems to be working for me), I'll try adding dairy back in later.

Good luck!

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much
