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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
