Help, What Am I Reacting To

Yesterday I has some Tostitos with Tostitos Salsa Con Queso (nacho cheese) and I felt like I ate something with gluten. Bad stomach pain, headache, overwhelming depression, tired, my eyes burned. I couldn't figure it out because their website says gluten free. Well today I was finally feeling better and I ate some Tapioca pudding (which I have never tried) and same reaction! What is going on? Am I going crazy? I don't feel like I have the flu, you know how it feels different? I am so frustrated, if I was gonna eat something that would make me sick like this I would have had a slice of pizza and at least enjoyed it!

I would recommend that you eliminate dairy for a while. Let your system heal a little bit, then you can add dairy a little at a time to see if it bothers you.

SOUNDS LIKE DAIRY IS YOUR PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN..........ELIMINATE IT FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AND THEN TRY AGAIN. HANG IN THERE

I have reacted to both Tostitos Chips and Tostitos Salsa before. I stopped eating them and started making my own chips from corn tortillas and just eat homemade salsa.

I am so frustrated, if I was gonna eat something that would make me sick like this I would have had a slice of pizza and at least enjoyed it!

I totally know what you mean! If we're going to have to go through the pain, we should at least be able to enjoy the gluten!

I wouldn't touch Tostitos with someone elses hand, for anyone that eats them all the time sorry if that offends but for me most of this companies products are like playing roulette with my body. Sometimes they are fine other times they are not and it is just not worth the risk. They may have 'gluten free' ingredients but CC issues make these far from safe. When first diagnosed I was overjoyed to get their gluten free list but it wasn't long before I realized how gluten free most items on it weren't. I guess this turned into a rant, sorry about that but mainstream companies will do and label anything so they can sell the product and it infuriates me. Just look how many put wheat starch, a totally nutritionally useless filler, into their non wheat cereal products a short time ago just so they could say 'multigrain' on a label.

If you were glutened it can take a bit for the effects to go away. Also as mentioned many of us can not handle dairy, some permanently. Once your villi have healed if you are lactose intolerant that should go away, if your body is forming antibodies to the protein in dairy then that is permanent. Have you considered going to enterolab for you and your family? They can tell you if you are forming antibodies or not, as long as you are not IGA deficent.

My Dr thought I was gluten intolerant. But it turns out I have fructose malsorbtion. Try eliminating any high fructose corn syrup. I also eliminated all sugars. Some artificial sweetners I can tolerate. Its worth it to get tested. You just take a breath test. Good Luck! :huh:

      My only proof

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12. Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins. Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer. The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time. Pyridoxine B 6 can...

      My only proof

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron. I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment. The cow's body builds that Casein protein. It doesn't come from wheat. Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people. This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response). It is not lactose intolerance...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Wheatwacked, what exactly did you intend when you stated that wheat is incorporated into the milk of cows fed wheat? Obviously, the gluten would be broken down by digestion and is too large a molecule anyway to cross the intestinal membrane and get into the bloodstream of the cow. What is it from the wheat that you are saying becomes incorporated into the...

      Wheat in cow feed would not equal gluten in the milk, @Wheatwacked, please back up extraordinary claims like this with some scientific backing, as I've never heard that cow's milk could contain gluten due to what the cow eats.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes! P.S.  interesting reading: Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!
