Nana's Cookies Problem


MPARANA

Recommended Posts

MPARANA Newbie

I tried going gluten free once before and ran in to problems plus my biopsy came back negative so I thought I did not have a problem. I now see that that doesn't always mean that you aren't gluten intolerant. I have once again gone gluten free (2 weeks in) and I am so so constipated. I remembered back to the last try at this and Nana's gluten free cookies caused extreme gas and bloating and constipation. This time I do not have the gass pains but I am wondering if this horrible constipation is not from the cookies. Has anyone else had problems with these?

Thanks a million

Are you sure that you're getting the No Gluten Nana's Cookies? there are some normal ones, some No Wheat and No Gluten............just because it says No Wheat doesn't mean that there isn't gluten in it and sometimes this easily missed? I eat the No Gluten ones with no problems, but everyone is different

I am absolutely sure they are the no gluten chocolate. Maybee their ingredients are just too dense.

I did seem to be constipated at first when i quit gluten - i think it was just because my body had adjusted to what gluten did to me and tried to make my stools harder, if that makes sense. It seemed to wear off.

I also had a very bad reation to tapioca, which is in almost every gluten-free product. You could also have other food issues - like chocolate. I turned out to have a TON of food allergies, I never would have figured it out becasue i was allergic to everything i ate, almost. So just because you are having other issues, doesnt mean you arent celiac.

You know, I bought one of those Nana's No Gluten cookies the other day, all excited, then cursed like a sailor when I read the "manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat" disclaimer. I didn't eat it, so I can't say for sure one way or the other, but cross-contamination might be a possibility.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
