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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
