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!

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
