Glutened

I was out of state attending my aunt's funeral earlier this week and got horribly sick the day after the funeral. I usually don't eat pork, but the ham, sliced tomatoes and carrot sticks were the only things I thought were safe at the dinner after the funeral. I was actually fine that day - I had a small piece that was an "inside" piece. The next day we had more ham and I got a bit of the outside and noticed that it was crunchy and sweet. Somewhere in the back of my mind I told myself that I should have tried to find a label for that ham. About an hour later I got the first hint of a stomach ache. Not long after that I started running for the bathroom. Luckily it all stopped, except for the stomach ache that I still have, after about 24 hours and I did fine on my cross-country flight home.

I did a search here and found out that Honey Baked Ham is NOT gluten-free. So I'm pretty sure it was that since I hardly ate anything else the whole time I was there besides fruit, vegies and some safe deli turkey.

So please beware of Honey Baked Ham!

Hi Liz, and welcome back :)

Yes, you're right--the glaze for the Honey Baked Ham is not gluten-free. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Liz,

Sorry to hear about your aunt and the glutening. I always forget about the deli trays so thanks for the reminder.

Ps-I would be crossing my fingers too on the flight :)

Yep, you have to be very careful with ham.....

I thought ham was out of the question for me anymore, but then I found this:

I am glad that this company lists the allergy info for each product that they have.

The Honey Baked Ham has wheat in the glaze. If you call one day ahead you can order a ham without the glaze. that is what I do - got one in the refrig now - & they are plenty yummy...

The VAST majority of hams are gluten-free. Honey Baked obviously is not and you should check any that are commercially honey glazed. Wheat will be the problem and it must be listed.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
