Throwing Up?

I've been eating gluten-free for two years. Tonight I went out for dessert. Within about half an hour, I felt really sick, and my stomach swelled up as it usually does when I get glutened, but within about an hour of having eaten the (supposedly gluten-free flourless chocolate cake), I was violently throwing up. After a few times, I felt tons better.

This has never happened to me before. Something obviously upset my stomach, but does anyone know if this is a normal reaction to getting glutened?

For some people this can be a common gluten reaction. My question for you is this, where was the cake made? It may have been that the recipe for the flourless cake was gluten free, but there was a lot of cross-contamination from where it was made.

It was at Finale, a Boston dessert place. I have eaten things that are cross-contaminated (meaning I've had gluten-free bread from a regular bakery), but I've never had that kind of reaction. It's good to know, though, that some people have this reaction. Thank you!

:oI throw up when I have been well and truly glutened as well. Not so much when I haven't had much gluten.

sometimes even when making a flourless item, the baker may coat the pan with flour to avoid sticking. I know they do this at Cheesecake factory with their crustless cheesecake.

When I get glutened, I usually do not throw up. However, when I ate General Mills Little Einsteins cereal (which I thought was gluten-free) for breakfast, I threw up and felt very sick.

I am a puker. :P In fact, it was because I had the D and I was always throwing up that my Doctor suspected celiacs. He said it was unusual other diseases would cause one to do both. Interestingly, when I first started having problems (many moons ago) I went to a Doctor who insisted my problem was that I was a bulimic in denial. I dropped her like a hot potato.

The first time I was glutened after becoming gluten free I puked. And like Rivergirl said, before I was diagnosed I had a combination of puking and D. I thought I was lactose intolerant ;)

And as mentioned, even though the cake itself was flourless, there is a good chance they dusted the pan with flour. I've gone to a few places where they've had flourless chocolate cake, and upon further questioning learned that was the case.

Sorry you got sick, but glad to hear you are feeling better.

On my first trip to outback after going gluten-free, I had the choc thunder from down under ( I think that is what is called. I had two bites & was sick. Everyone else ate it with no problems. I'm the one who hardly never gets sick on cc issues. But recently I got sick again but not at outback.

hope you get better fast...

I've puked a few times after a gluten reaction. Once was the worst gluten reaction I've had. Another time it was otherwise a fairly mild (overall) reaction.

I can't seem to figure out the correlation between the amount of Gluten I consume and the reaction. I've had a known glutening with mild reactions, and another that kicked my ass for 3 days. I've had presumed CC/hidden gluten reactions (no known gluten) that were severe, and others that weren't. Can't really figure that aspect out. Of course, most of my reactions are pretty severe. Sadly.

Holy cow. I've heard doctors say some stupid things, but I think that tops 'em all.

Thanks, everyone! I'll have to contact the place where I got the chocolate cake to let them know of the problems.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By trents · Posted

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
