Calling All Sleuths

Hey everyone,

I have been gluten-free for alittle over a month now. I have had my ups and downs and I still have ALOT to learn yet, but I have great friends in this wonderful group that have helped me tremendously.

Well once again I find myself over my head this is the second day of having really terrible symptoms return to me, Imodium has helped some and I KNOW that I have not been glutened.

So I am calling all sleuths to help me out with this...... when you have a terrible flare up like this one where do you start to look for the cause of it ?? The only new thing that I added to my diet was that I treated myself to Chocolate flavored Silk. I have been using soy milk (Silk) instead of dairy and never had a problem with it before. In the past I use to drink Silk trying to control my symptoms before I knew I have Celiac and never had a reaction to it but because I was still having gluten I am sure it made no difference.

Those are all the facts and I can't come up with anything can any one tell me where to start or does anyone have any ideas as what might of caused this ??

Hi, Thumper!

I think we have a BamBam on this site, too...

Possibilities:

D caused by sensitivity to soy

D caused by sensitivity to chocolate or caffeine

D caused by virus

D caused by food-borne bacteria

D caused by hidden gluten in food (for example, deli tuna salad often has bread crumbs, "lite" ice cream has wheat starch, soy sauce contains wheat, many meats such as steak, chicken, and rotisserie chicken are pre-marinatd in a soy-sauce containing marinade, and many cereals contain barley malt, which is gluten, etc etc etc)

Immodium might not be the best thing, because diarrhea is your body's way of getting rid of toxins from the lower digestive tract as quickly as possible. If you take immodium, it stops that from occurring. Yes, short term you will be more comfortable, but long-term, you are poisoned for a longer period of time.

Well..here I go again with CARRAGEENAN. As soon as I gave up my Silk Soymilk..which contains this product..my problems got better. Not sure if it was the carrageenan..which can cause digestion stress and some more serious health problems..or it it was the soy.

I have given up so many things. I was in love with the plain sugar free Silk Soymilk. I was putting that on all these gluten cereals that I thought were healthy. It sort of all is crazy to look at now.

I thought eating all these 'healthy' grain cereals with Silk Soymilk was such a healthy thing. Shaking head now..just crazy sometimes.

I stood for 20 minutes going through every different brand of soy milk... rice milk... oat milk... almond milk...hazelnut milk... and what I found is the only brand WITH NO carageenan is Rice Dream.

be well B)

Since going gluten free I've had to also cut out eggs, casein, caffeine, meat, high fat... anything and a bunch of other things. I just try to stick to the foods that human beings were originally supposed to be eating. Food for thought... literally.

Start keeping a food diary, with symptoms. That has really helped me in the past.

On this forum it seems like some people develop sensitivities after going gluten-free. Perhaps this is because the immune system starts to work better. Anyway it seems to happen to some.

I'd try avoiding soy, and then retrying it. The soy protein is somewhat similar to gluten, and many of us do have trouble with it. It might be that you can handle very small amounts, or can do it once a week or something.

Again, a hidden gluten ingredient or cc could be an issue even when a label doesn't have it.

One other thought: have you replaced your gluten containing personal care products? That has made quite a difference for some of us.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
