Gluten Reaction

Hey Everyone,

I am having what I think is a gluten reation but I am not sure. I think I am reacting to a salad that MAY have been contaminated. It was a bagged salad (Tanimura and Antle Garden Salad) that I had on Monday.

Anyway, I have been having severe abdominal pain since the "incident" (and I mean severe). The pain is sometimes unbearable and it seems to be worse after I eat or drink something. It feels as if someone is squeezing my stomach and intestines as hard as they can, and/or stabbing them with a knife.

Does anyone else have this problem after a gluten accident or after eating something that was contaminated with gluten?

Also, does anyone else have problems with these salads (Tanimura and Antle)?

Thanks,

-Carrie

I do feel that way when having gluten sometimes. It's awful. . .and very painful.

Yes, I get that way. I have to just lie down until the pain goes away because it feels like someone is grabbing and twisting my insides.

Thanks for your responses!

I am still reacting and it has almost been a week! Athough it is getting better.

The pain gets really scary sometimes... I would hate to see the reation if I ate a bagel or something! :o

If your pains dont feel like they are getting any better maybe you should contanct your GI. For me if anything lasts more then 3 or 4 days my mother wants me at the doctor to make sure that nothing else is going wrong. Hope that you feel better. Good luck! :)

:) Could it possibly be that due to having celiac disease your intestines are more delicate and you have more reactions to different kinds of foods? Many people w/ celiac disease have problems with diary (lactose intolerance) as well as other foods.

I'm not sure if I have celiac disease yet, but over the last few years, I cannot have any broccoli or cabbage or I will get severe stomach cramps that evening or the following day... where years ago those foods would not cause me to have any pain at all!

Yes, that's so true Lisa. I'm just discovering the same intestinal symptoms for myself.

I can't eat a lot of those' gassy' foods anymore including cabbage . :(

My mom is the same way, except she wants me to go earlier than that! I'm going to be telling my doctor about this since it has almost been a week!

I've been wondering that myself. I had skin allergy testing done over a year ago, but the only foods that had a positive were wheat and yeast.

I have discovered that I am lactose intolerant. Lactose = Sick :blk:

The pain can be sever at times and really just cause you to have to shut down for a period of several hours.

Lately though I have had just a fairly constant ache in my gut. It's not like an upset stomach, I don't really have to go to the bathroom (though I often do a couple of times a day). But the ache just will not go away.

I ate some gluten-free Taco's w/ Fritos Saturday (it is Thur night) and I think it took a toil. I do not know why. Maybe it is first spicy thing I have had or I don't know?

Anyway, I am also very tired lately. I started back to the gym. Working out with cardio stuff about 25 minutes and light weights about 20 minutes. I have been very sleepy and tired. I'm 6 mths end to being gluten-free, is this normal?

Love to hear from you guys.

Thanks :D

I'm right now trying to get over a reaction from some sausages (I didn't think about the possibliy of a wheat filler). I normally get really sick to my stumach and feel like I want to throw up. And have to poop a lot. LOL.

I normally eat the Garden Fresh bag salads and have had really good experiences. I have found that most of the bag salads they sell at Safeway have been good.

You can always check with your GI if it's lasted awhile, though I think that week-long symptoms are to be expected if you've been gluten-free and suddenly been contaminated. Your body reacts even more strongly after you've been gluten-free for awhile, as if it's warning you that it doesn't want the gluten :)

It can take your body a long time to heal and recover from all the gluten that you ate before going gluten free.

Everyone is different, some will feel better in several weeks and others may not feel better for several months or even up to 1 year or 2 years.

Personally, I think I am the the "1-2 year category" since I am still having troubles almost 11 months gluten free!

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
