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!

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
