B12 Supps/ Mouth Sores/ Thyroid/ Was I Glutened?

I recently went back to eating gluten-free and immediately had tons of energy and started going to the bathroom again! (was chronically constipated). A few days ago, I ate over a friends house and she cooked this chicken with roasted veggies for us. She said the chicken was pre- marinated at the store when she bought it.. I also had been eating yogurt, but I for two days straight around there I started eating cheese in my eggs- After these two days, I stopped having ANY BMs and I feel AWFUL.

Could itve been gluten in the marinade or maybe I need to also stay away from cheese (I had cheese a few days before that with no probs though so i dont know..? I had no problem with yogurt and I am not eating any other dairy.

Also, I am currently trying to raisemy dosage of Armour thyroid because I have hypothyroidism, and I have no idea what's going on.

My other complaint is chronic mouth sores (canker soreS). They seem to be appearing every time I take my b12 sublinguilly, but I'm not sure. Anyone ever have this?

I would highly suspect you got glutened at your friends house. We should never eat premarinated meats from the store unless you can get the ingredients of the marinade.

DO NOT just increase the amount of throid meds you take without talking to your doctor first. For one thing if you have recently gone gluten free and you have been glutened that can cause symptoms that may seem to be thyroid connected but are actually gluten.

As to the B12, have you checked to make certain it is gluten-free? I would be more inclined to think that the mouth ulcers are related to the glutening and not to the sublingual.

It can take a while to get over a glutening, hang in there.

Chicken is one of those 'hidden gluten' foods that you have to watch out for. It could have been the marinade; it could also have been something injected into the chicken. Take a look at the wrappers for most roasting chickens and you'll see most of them are injected with all sorts of junk. So my guess is you got glutened by the chicken.

Cheese is less likely to be the culprit, but it could be. Some 'cheese foods' are made with gluten. Pre-shredded cheeses sometimes use gluten-based products to prevent clumping, but that's not too common nowadays.

It's interesting that you mentioned mouth sores. That's something I never linked with gluten, but I've seen several posts mentioning mouth sores as a celiac symptom. I've noticed mouth sores (along with generally feeling bad) lately. My likely culprit is Lays potato and corn chips. The ingredients are just corn/potatoes, oil and salt, so I figured they were safe. But I found a thread on this board where several people said they react to them because of cross contamination. (It was funny because I found that link as I was munching through a bag of Lays chops!)

It goes to show that you really can't trust anything -- even if the ingredients look safe.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      A lot to think about here. Does anyone have any recommendations for third party laboratories that will do full panel celiac screens private pay in the U.S.?

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.
