I have been gluten free since june of this year - for the most part doing pretty good - until this week - I purchased some gluten free cookie mix - 365 Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix (it's distributed by whole foods) I know I didn't anything else that could have caused this problem - my gut has been killing me for two days - severe gas and bloating something that seems to be more severe now since I've been gluten free - I think that I'm actually more sensitive to gluten products intestinally. I guess my gut was so dead that it didn't matter so much - but that's another topic my question is

HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS PRODUCT? I eat egg and milk products all the time and don't seem to have any problems with either... SUGGESTIONS? Is it possible that there is something in the product that IS NOT gluten free and they screwed up? I'm telling you - this has been really bad. I'm actually a DH person as well and I've started itching and breaking out a little.

thanks for your input.

Debbie

Did you bake your cookies on glutened pans ??? I glutened myself with Gluten Free Pantry's yummy brownie mix after I made then in a mini muffin tin that had gluten in it. Ugh.

I'd also look at what else you are eating since I'm sure you aren't just eating cookies. ;)

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I have reacted to every 365 Brand product that I've tried. One of those products was sent to the lab at the U of Nebraska, and tested negative for gluten--but the rep told me that they only tested down to 200 PPM.

This may have changed, so I would suggest you call them and see if the product was made in a facility or on equipment that also processes gluten, and about how/if they check for gluten in the products.

nope - brand new cookie sheet. I've learned my lesson on the "used" baking equipment - about 3 weeks ago I made some gluten-free waffles in my old teflon coated waffle iron - BIG MISTAKE - I knew better - I just wanted those waffles so bad!! it was the Kinnikinnick (spelling?) brand and they were great! But this was a mild reaction I had from the waffles... nothing like what I've been going through the last couple days... I'm a little better today and I still have cookies left - I'm almost tempted to wait till I get better and be the martyr and try it again.. just to make sure. sounds dumb huh? They were SO GOOD!

Good idea though... If I hadn't known about using new baking stuff - it could have been the problem...

wow - thanks! I don't think i'm going to try that brand again. I made some Bob's Red Mill brownies one time and made a chocolate cake from the back of a tapioca flour box and both were great with no reactions.

it says on the box that it was made in a 100% gluten free facility... but maybe it was the chocolate chips?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
