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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
