Hello everyone....

my mom made me some bread today and after eating it I am feeling so so so sick. Headache, joint pain, D, exhausted and abdominal pain...the whole package.... She just used these ingredients:

rice flour

soda (powder)

olive oil

only these...so is there a chance that soda is not safe???? or rice flour????? any thoughts? I have no intolerance in rice....

maybe mushrooms that I ate yesterday? or pasta that I baked for my friends on saturday? To be honest I did something stupid with pasta. ....I just put a tiny amount in my mouth only to see if it is good to serve and then I split it. But that was on saturday.

Many people say their symptoms from glutening are worse a few days later. Its also possible that your mother's baking equipment had some crumbs from her regular baking still on them. Are you sure thats all she used? she had to at least put some water in it, didnt she?

anyways, baking soda should be safe, but it could have flour in it. Or . .. maybe other times she's used it she dropped some flour in it.

Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Meline

It sounds like some sort of cross contamination if the rice flour and baking soda was pure.

Maybe it was the mushrooms or something from a few days ago. It seems like you should not have such a strong reaction to testing the pasta although I wont even cook other pastas now. If my wife cooks them she has her own pot for cooking.

I also had toruble this weekend and cant figure out why. My hands were covered with DH again. When I was in Japan (got home last week) I had trouble 2 times, both from inhaling flour at a trade show and in a department store food section.

If I inhale something I get bad cramps and pains but if I eat something I get DH along with d and the other problems.

Sometimes I wish I could stop eating all together!

take care, hope your feeling better soon.

hello ken! welcome back

sorry you had trouble with DH. Is it better now? I know you cannot even inhale flour, and it is quite impressive....

any way...I guess I will feel better tomorrow.....

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
