Last Night...

hmmm can anyone spot anything wrong with the following wheat/gluten wise.

Had the following last night and the pain that I have recurring (better since trying to be gluten free) that starts near to my belly button came back today...

chicken covered in yoghurt and coated in gluten free breadcrumbs, sweet potato covered in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar... a dressing made of dijon mustard, ketchup, lemon juice and yoghurt.

Thanks I'm close to cracking this as these pains are only coming back around once a week whereas they used to be far more frequent. Have a c.t scan tommorrow to see if it is anything else but I'm pretty sure its all allergy related

I do know that not all brands of ketchup and mustard are gluten-free. You could try there.

Someone on here said they had seen a balsamic vinegar that had gluten added. I think it was barley. Also the mustard and ketchup. Maybe you can't handle dairy well either

Well, I don't know your sensitivities, but what would get me most is the dairy, vinegar, and sugar.

I had severe back pain until I started taking magnesium, so I wonder if that might help you too.

magnesium? Is that a suppliment that is easy to get hold of?

I agree with the others on the condiments most likely being a problem. Just to confuse things more sometimes our reactions can be delayed so do check also the stuff you ate one and two days before the reaction not just that day.

My main reason for posting is to caution you that you make sure that the contrast they give you is gluten-free. Not all are. Also if you have DH and they are going to use an injection on you during the CT make sure you let them know. You may have a reaction to the iodine in the injection. They had to do mine without the IV contrast because of my DH.

Yes. There are numerous products out there, in various forms including capsules, tablets, and powders. Magnesium citrate is one of the most effectively absorbed, but which you choose depends on what you need from it most. Powdered ones are generally suggested as treatments for C, and they are very effective. I would expect that capsules would be more slowly released and absorbed than powders, and tablets slower still. From what I've read, it seems magnesium oxide is a cheap form, and not very well absorbed. Most experts suggest avoiding that one.

yup, I found out the "hard" way, also, that Ketchup and Mustard (two of my favs) have vinegar in them. If you go to the Unsafe Foods like on this Celiac.com site you will see that vinegar, unless specifically listed as Apple, is usually of the distilled type (cheaper!) which comes from grains (often unstated sources). You will learn that even though a product states "gluten free" on it's label it may very well not be. Many have maltodextrin, which can be questionaable, or like the condiments, vinegar. So it is good to more or less memorize that unsafe list! Makes one feel neurotic but it is way better than feeling sick!! Keep truckin'--this is a great support-group community with a wealth of wisdom to share!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By RMJ · Posted

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By terrymouse · Posted

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.
