Gluten Free Bread Allergy?

Ok..even though I am on a pretty strict diet..I picked up some Gluten Free Bread to keep in the freezer. I am new still to all of this and just wanted to have something a little heavier on hand and I was curious to try it.

With so many things going on for so long and being so new to all of this..I am aware that it will take a long to get everything sorted out..especially when there's so many stymptoms. So I will just deal with each one thing as it comes up.

I ate a piece of the bread toasted and still got the flem in my throat. I always blamed it more on the wheat bread than my allergies..hoping it was that.

So..I am just wondering a couple of things from anyone who may experience or has experienced this in the past.

As I work my way through determining and elimination..most likely it's something in the bread that I have an allergy too? There is no dairy in the bread..and that is usually one of the first things that will give me the flem.

Or is natural sometimes for anyone to get 'flem' in the throat after eating something? Maybe some things just do this?

There's not that many ingredients in the bread..so if this flem thing isn't natural and usually lead to allergy..this could be a good thing in helping me with elimination of foods.

Thanks again.

Yeast?

Yeah, I was going to say, i thought I might be celiac, but when I went to get allergy testing, I reacted to wheat, barley, malt and yeast. Well, I actually reacted to all but about 6 foods he tested me for .. . i'm on a great elimination diet right now, I'm eating the 18 foods I think are safest . .. . but i'm still having trouble breathing ...

Yeast?

Yep, it has yeast in it..would I shouldn't be having anyway if I am on Candida diet? Correct? Or are we talking about two different kind of yeast here. Don't laugh at me..lol..

If we are talking the same thing..once I get this Candida under control..I may be able to tolerate yeast or is that just maybe a whole different thing I may just be allergic to and nothing to do with the Candida?

I missed the yeast in it when I was looking around the grocery store for things I might want to keep around..I am learning right now there can't even be having something around for once in awhile..but if I don't try..I will never know.

So we could be talking a yeast allergy then?

Thanks again.

When you talk about having trouble breathing..is it to where it's scary or just that you feel like you breathe sort of shallow..like lungs are tight.

It's hard for me to tell and break everything down on it's own. I also have mild asthma..but I react to campfire smoke bad too. I have always coughed after exercising..but just very little. Sometimes as far as environmental reactions it's hard to know if I am reacting because of my allergies or asthma.

I have sinus trouble to that overlaps with the allergies..but I am beginning to believe that all of these are intertwined and only I can make better by elimination.

yeast, gluten, soy, sulfites and casein make my chest ache --not like anaphalatic shock or anything--but its very uncomfortable and hard to breath. My baby and i are off gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, yeast and sulfites--what a HUGE difference!! We eat rice wraps, and gluten-free<CF< Yeast free bread from Food for Life...most health food stores have it-- sulfites really helped eliminating. we have celiac but obviously our immune systems are shot and need a rest---we just found out about celiac.

Could be a yeast allergy, or an allergy/intolerance to other ingredients in the bread. I get hlegm in my throat from the gluten-free breads also and I have many food intolerances.

If you are on a candida diet yeast as an ingredient is generally a no-no. I think there are some gluten-free breads out there that are also yeast-free but I can't recall what brands.

You might do better with things in their most natural state, like brown rice or another non gluten grain like millet.

Just a thought, but... Did you buy a new toaster so that the toaster would be free of gluten? If you were using the same toaster as you always did, you could have glutened yourself from it.

Could just be carbs in general - one of the first things I bought was some gluten-free rolls. I ended up with an allergic reaction to something in them and had to throw them away (they were pretty disgusting anyway!).

I have made some gluten-free cakes and waffles and things but every time I eat some I get some sort of reaction (although I made an SCD compliant Almond Apple and Raisin cake with no flour or sugar, just almond flour and honey and have been fine with that)

I have now just started the Specific Carb Diet which eliminates virtually all complex carbs to see if that will help. I have known for years that I have a problem with carbs and the 2 times I went low-carb over the years I was always a lot better, but I think if I can eliminate the complex ones and just stick to simple ones (mono saccharides like in honey and ripe fruits) I will be even better and will starve out the little Candida beasties into the bargain.

I suspect in a way, that for those who do not get better from just eliminating gluten and dairy, they are very likely to have a problem like me with carbs per se. Some do not generate the enzymes needed to break down the di- and poly-saccharide carbs like sugar, dairy, grains and starches. Because the carbs cannot be processed properly by the body they end up being food for the beasties, who generate a lot of gas and acids which in turn breaks down the gut lining.

This is so interesting. I am fascinated to see how I get on myself with the SCD.

agree w/toaster comment

did you put anything on the bread? do you know that whatever topping you used is okay with you (eg have had the topping w/o bread & been fine?) Or the topping could have cc (did anyone else in household use on gluten bread or together w/butter and not use separate spreaders, etc). Good luck solving!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thanks for the info. I recently moved to CA from Wyoming and in that western region the Costco and Sam's /Walmart Brands have many nuts and more products that are labeled gluten free. I was told it's because those products are packaged and processed  in different  plants. Some plants can be labeled  gluten free because the plant does not also package gluten products and they know that for example the trucks, containers equipment are not used to handle wheat, barely or Rye. The Walmart butter in the western region says gluten free but not here. Most of The Kirkland and Members Mark brands in CA say they are from Vietnam. That's not the case in Wyoming and Colorado. I've spoken to customer service at the stores here in California. They were not helpful. I check labels every time I go to the store. The stores where I am are a Sh*tshow. The Magalopoly grocery chain Vons/Safeway/Albertsons, etc. are the same. Fishers and Planters brands no longer say gluten free. It could be regional. There are nuts with sugar coatings and fruit and nut mixes at the big chains that are labeled gluten free but I don't want the fruit or sugar.  It's so difficult I am considering moving again. I thought it would be easier to find safe food in a more populated area. It's actually worse.  I was undiagnosed for most of my life but not because I didn't try to figure it out. So I have had all the complications possible. I don't have any spare organs left.  No a little gluten will hurt you. The autoimmune process continues to destroy your organs though you may not feel it. If you are getting a little all the time and as much as we try we probably all are and so the damage is happening. Now the FDA has pretty much abandoned celiacs. There are no requirements for labeling for common allergens on medications. All the generic drugs made outside the US are not regulated for common allergens and the FDA is taking the last gluten free porcine Thyroid med, NP Thyroid, off the market in 2026. I was being glutened by a generic levothyroxin. The insurance wouldn't pay for the gluten free brand any longer because the FDA took them all off their approved formulary. So now I am paying $147 out of pocket for NP Thyroid but shortly I will have no safe choice. Other people with allergies should be aware that these foreign generic pharmaceutical producers are using ground shellfish shell as pill coatings and anti-desicants. The FDA knows this but  now just waits for consumers to complain or die. The take over of Wholefoods by Amazon destroyed a very reliable source of good high quality food for people with allergies and for people who wanted good reliably organic food. Bezos thought  he could make a fortune off people who were paying alot for organic and allergen free food by substituting cheap brands from Thailand. He didn't understand who the customers were who were willing to pay more for that food and why. I went from spending hundreds to nothing because Bezo removed every single trusted brand that I was buying. Now they are closing Whole foods stores across the country. In CA, Mill Valley store (closed July 2025) and the National Blvd. store in West Los Angeles (closed October 2025). The Cupertino store will close.  In recent years I have learned to be careful and trust no one. I have been deleberately glutened in a restaurant that was my favorite (a new employee). The Chef owner was not in the kitchen that night. I've had  a metal scouring pad cut up over my food.The chain offered gluten free dishes but it only takes one crazy who thinks you're a problem as a food fadist. Good thing I always look. Good thing they didn't do that to food going to a child with a busy mom.  I give big tips and apologize for having to ask in restaurants but mental illness seem to be rampant. I've learn the hard way.          I don't buy any processed food that doesn't say gluten free.  I am a life long Catholic. I worked for the Church while at college. I don't go to Church anymore because the men at the top decided Jesus is gluten. The special hosts are gluten less not gluten free. No I can't drink wine after people with gluten in their mouth and a variety of deadly germs. I have been abandoned and excluded by my Church/Family.  Having nearly died several times, safe food is paramount. If your immune system collapses as mine did, you get sepsis. It can kill you very quickly. I spent 5 days unconscious and had to have my appendix and gall bladder removed because they were necrotic. I was 25. They didn't figure out I had celiac till I was 53. No one will take the time to tell you what can happen when your immune system gets overwhelmed from its constant fighting the gluten and just stops. It is miserable that our food is processed so carelessly. Our food in many aspects is not safe. And the merging of all the grocery chains has made it far worse. Its a disaster. Krogers also recently purchased Vitacost where I was getting the products I could no longer get at Whole Foods. Kroger is eliminating those products from Vitacost just a Bezos did from WF. I am looking for reliable and certified sources for nuts. I have lived the worst consequences of the disease and being exposed unknowingly and maliciously. Once I was diagnosed I learned way more than anyone should have to about the food industry.  I don't do gray areas. And now I dont eat out except very rarely.  I have not eaten fast food for 30 years before the celiac diagnosis. Gluten aside..... It's not food and it's not safe.  No one has got our backs. Sharing safe food sources is one thing we can do to try to be safe.

      Thank you kindly for your response. I have since gotten the other type of bloods done and am awaiting results.
