Ok,

I had such a bad night last night, I spent most of the night with my head in the toilet trying to vomit (lovely mental image I know) and I'm still all gurgley down there today. :(

I was definitely gluten free all yesterday. The only new things that I had in my diet were:

1. gluten free orange and poppy seed muffins with Philadelphia cheese/icing sugar icing (all gluten-free)

2. plain chips (called company who confirmed gluten free)

3. gluten free cocco puff type cereal with soy milk (again all gluten-free)

I also ate gluten free pumpkin soup for dinner and an orange during the day. Before these new additions, my diet had been mostly fat and sugar free. I thought it might be a sugar problem??? :blink:

Apart from a couple of accidental slip ups and some lingering fatigue I had been free of symptoms.

I'm so confused and frustrated as I had been doing so well! :angry:

hmm... the soy milk maybe? or the dairy in the cream cheese? did the pumpkin soup have dairy in it as well?

tough one! the dairy does come to mind; and the soy. I recently got VERY sick and it was right after I ate a cake I had made (gluten free of course). I couldn't eat anything sweet for a month. Anyway, I think it was the Norovirus, which was going around our town big-time a month later. Maybe I started the trend!

Is it possible it was a tummy thing? Or that there was something "bad" in what you ate? I don't know the ingredients of the pumpkin soup. Any eggs that might've been undercooked with salmonella or anything like that? No pooping troubles?

A tough case, to be sure.

one way to find out would be go back to your low/no fat & sugar gluten-free diet for as long as it takes for your system to stabilize.

then try each of the 'new' foods, one at a time, to see which if any were triggers.

If all is well even then, it may have been the combination of all the new foods at once?

Good luck being Sherlock Holmes!

I am also sensitive to uncooked melon - you are not alone there :) (I don't admit to an allergy, but I do get a gag reflex)

There are two things I look for when getting glutened after eating something gluten-free.

Where did I walk and what did I breath. (Like yesterday at costco store being too close to the bakery section.)

and cross contamination issues. So where did you eat?, at home or restaurant? -- I guess for me its more of these issues than and allergy to something else.

good luck

Mystery solved!

My fiance pointed out that I got sick the last time I ate the orange and poppyseed muffins. I don't have allergies to any of the ingredients on the box. The box states that they are gluten free but I get a gluten like reaction from them. Very disappointing...

I just noticed you are in Australia, do they use the Codex wheat starch in products that is supposed to be gluten free by processing? Perhaps that is an ingredient in the muffins. I have heard from others that they have reacted to it, although they can label things gluten-free with stuff that has it included.

I didn't notice it on the box, it had a pretty basic ingredients list, a couple of different gluten-free flours etc

I think perhaps it is manufactured somewhere that also processes gluten products.

Thanks for the heads up about the wheat starch, I'll look out for it :)

watch too for tapioca, though someone probably already said this (I can't recall). But it gives me glutened-like symptoms, and it sounds like it does for plenty of others too.

Take care.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gigi2025  Thank you for your interesting post.  Some of what you say chimes with something my gastroenterologist tells me - that he has clients who travel to France and find the same as you  - they will eat normal wheat baguette there without issue, for example.  His theory was he thought it might be to do with the locally sourced wheat being different to our own in the UK? But I have to say my own experience has been quite different. I have been to France twice since my diagnosis, and have been quite ill due to what was then (pre-2019)  poor labelling and cross-contamination issues.  My TTG test following my last visit was elevated - 'proof of the pudding', as we say in the UK!  It was not just a case of eating something like, say, shellfish, that disagreed with me - gluten was clearly an issue. I've also been to Italy to visit family a couple of times since my diagnosis.  I did not want to take any chances so kept to my gluten free diet, but whilst there what I did notice is that coeliacs are very well catered for in Italy, and many brands with the same ingredients in the UK are clearly marked on the front of their packaging that they are 'senza glutine'.  In the UK, you would have to find that information in the small print - or it puts people off buying it, so I am told!  So it seems to me the Italians are very coeliac aware - in fact, all children are, I believe, screened for coeliac disease at the age of 6.  That must mean, I guess, that many Italian coeliacs are actively avoiding gluten because, presumably, if they don't, they will fall ill?

      Inconclusive results

      Thank you both very much. I’m pretty familiar with the various tests, and my older two girls with official dxs have even participated in research on other tests as well. I just felt overwhelmed and shocked that these recent results (which I found pretty dang conclusive after having scott clean labs just six months ago) would still be considered inconclusive. Doc said we could biopsy in another six weeks because my daughter was actually way more upset than I anticipated about the idea of eating it for years before doing another biopsy. It doesn’t hurt her, but she’s afraid of how it may be hurting her in ways she can’t feel. She’s currently eating mini wheats for breakfast, a sandwich with lunch, and a side of pasta along with every dinner, so I’m hoping we’re meeting that 10g benchmark mentioned in that second article!

      Potential celiac need advice

      Have you tried a genetic test to look for Celiac genes?  No gluten challenge required.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @ElisaAllergiesgluten, Have you tried going on a low histamine Paleo diet like the Autoimmune Protocol diet?  A low histamine AIP diet would help your body rid itself of the extra histamine it's making in response to allergies.  Are you Celiac as well?   Since we need more thiamine when we're stressed, adding Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine Vitamin B 1, can help the body calm down it's release of histamine.  Benfotiamine improves Sailors' asthma.
