Hey everyone, hope all is well for yall!!

Ok have been under major stress (my daugher has been running from the law. she left her 3 kids and just took off told me she was going underground and going to change her name, she is a alcoholic and in a bad way now, she text messaged me yesterday and said she got raped in a park the night before last. It is so hard to think of your own kids living like that. Yesterday, I was reading the board and someone mentioned eating Progresso clam chowder and that it was gluten free. I had some so I called the manufacture myself to make sure. Thay told me it was gluten free so I tried it.

I only have a few staples that I eat mostly all the time so I dont think it was anything else I ate..Started feeling bad pretty much as soon as I ate it. Last night I broke out with DH.Its so painful I can hardly sit. Feel to bad to do anything, so now laying on my belly :(

I get real upset at my tummy, and cant eat anything!!! Drinking as much water as I can but even that makes me feel bad.

Sorry for the post kind of confusing even for me to read but feel to bad to redo it. Does anyone have any ideas to help me. Only been gluten-free for 21/2 months so I know I still make mistakes. my mind just wont work anymore..

I'm sooo sorry you are going through all of that! Alcoholism is very hard to deal with and effects everyone around teh person with the disease. I've been there...my son's father!

Stress definetly could be amplifying your symptoms!!!! Are you sure everything else is gluten-free????

Again, I'm sorry and we are all here for you if you need to vent/talk/cry!

So sorry for your woes- that is TOO hard! The stress could do it alone and then, if you're not used to the Progresso clam chowder", you could just be reacting because it's new. I find when I'm introducing new foods after so long on a strict diet that it takes awhile for me to get used to them. Assuming you've checked cosmetics, shampoos, hand creams and all that...

Peace to you and feel better soon!

thank you so much everyone!!

Yes, it is so hard, she is only 25 years old. And in such a bad place. I am pretty sure that I am totally gluten-free, shampoo's , cream rinse, make up (not that i wear much) pots, pans spoons, can opener, cutting board, soaps, i just dont know what else to do. Guess it is just stress, I am not sleeping well, when she does text me its in the middle of the night, so i sleep with one ear on the phone. I am so afraid for her life. Not to mention the grandkids, they are so upset, the 6 year old boy started pooping his pants. he had not done that since 2. They live 2 hours away,its not that its that far I just feel so bad i have a hard time making it up there. :(

That is something I never thought of. I dont think I want to try it again. I break out with DH on my right buttock. Not something you want to live with. yes i have checked everything that I come into contact with. As far as I know of. Pretty new to this though, only 2 1/2 months.

Thanks for letting me rant!! BARB :huh:

Stress could be causing alot of problems... also are you sure shellfish is an okay thing for you to eat? Tons of people cannot do any type of shellfish...... plus creamed soups can cause reactions for some.

My brother is a recovered elky for 26 years now.... can you get her into a rehab center? even if you have to have her picked up by the police for loitering in a public place, someday she will thank you for it. Use tough love or she may ended up deceased... We did this after years of drug & booze abuse.. my mom would give him money for food cause his cabinets were bare because he used his $$$$ for booze & drugs, finally I had a police officer arrest him for some dumb little thing & committed him for three days ( law in our state) & then sent him off to rehab . He had no ins. so I went thru AA & they helped pay ...

good luck & I'll say a prayer for you..

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
